[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, grandma, you are crabby. Turn down the judgment and consider why a reasonable person might make such a choice. For example, sometimes you can head off a tantrum with the right kind of early attention, and if you're sitting at an event (or, say, you're in a grocery store halfway through a shop with a cart of stuff) it's often worth trying to recoup your investment of time and not just bailing at the first wail. I'll generally try 2-3 quick (5-15 second) appeasement techniques and if none of them work I'll pick up my kid and leave. (and honestly the appeasement technique that works the best is "ok, we're done here, say bye-bye to everyone, we're leaving!" because she loves to say bye-bye, so sometimes I do that one first.)[/quote] Grandma is talking about STORY TIME in a public library. Nothing you wrote is remotely applicable. You lack both common courtesy and reading comprehension skills, PP. [/quote]
