[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just see if you can put the pack n play (or similar) in the bathroom. Or take a quick one during a nap while you check the video monitor every minute or so (though I found my kid was almost always out cold for the first 20 mins of her nap).

I don't see a conflict between "AP" and helping your child to play independently.  I am/do both. I also don't see leaving a child to cry alone for 15 minutes (not a short time for an infant) as a first or even second choice. Last resort, gotta do it? Yes, they won't actually die of it. But I get the feeling some PPs here are just so rigid, it's like there's one option and if it means the child cries for 15 minutes, oh well! Creativity? Outside the box thinking? Nah. Might as well get used to crying alone as soon as possible. Blah.[/quote]

Your kid will be crying alone when they realize mom won't change their pull ups in college.[/quote]

LOL!  Excellent parody of over-the-top strict parenting.

How about...

"It's OK to let them cry until they throw up once or twice.  Builds up the diaphragm muscles."

"I pushed down my kid when he was learning to walk.  I read somewhere that more skinned knees were better"

"Babies who cry are just...cry babies.  Who wants a cry baby?!"

"Babies who can't sleep through the night by 5 days old should be beaten with a paddle until they learn who is boss."

"If your 6 mo baby can't entertain him/herself for 3 hours straight then he/she will be complete failures as adults."

"I'm using the same horse whip on my kids that my parents used on me.  I love tradition."
