[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand moms who let their kids act like brats and think it is okay. Working moms are like this a lot, they feel guilty that they aren't about as much and so they allow their child to act up and treat them like kings/queens[/quote]

[b]It's funny. I think it is much more a sahm thing. [/b] These women who think their children are such amazingly important snowflakes that the moms had to literally quit their jobs to devote their lives to their precious well being, because heaven forbid mom have any focus other than her child. And then wonder why the kid is spoiled.

But frankly as a general matter, I think the kids/families OP describes are few and far between.  I think lots of kids are fundamentally more challenging than other kids.  Lots of parents with easy kids like to judge the parents of those other kids. I also have lots of friends with kids who have their own intolerable traits (maybe not meltdowns at the word "no", but other stuff) but those parents don't see their own kids' intolerable traits. Just the other kids.  Also, when you have a kid who is wired to be the kid climbing up bookshelves, chances are their parents have been yelling and telling those kids "no" almost non stop since birth. And you know what?  Saying 'no' has zero effect on some kids. Disciplining has zero effect on some kids. Some kids are crazy.

I've seen it from working and SAHMs.  I don't think that's the issue. [/quote]
