[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children do not need to come first when 1st means they need a birthday party. First means they need food, shelter, education and love/protection.

This is not new. Even women who “stayed home” cared for the animals on the farm and the garden. They did not coddle their child’s every need.

The endless need to coddle children’s every whim is the problem not missing a few ridiculous newly invented events in their life like the 100th day of school, K graduation, the endless need to go to a pumpkin patch every Fall.[/quote]

But in those days the kids had more freedom, they were not "farmed" locked up in tinny homes and apartments and schools all day long. They had happy free roaming life full of experiences and interactions with all kinds of people. Their needs were filled in many different ways from many different sources. It was also not standard to have b. parties then.
Now you live in different times when a child is isolated from most of the world for most of the time due to the system, the parents and the current trends. If you are the one who depraves a child from all natural resources for attention, love and friendships in free fall manner, then YOU need to substitute up to the standards of the society.

What you PP are trying to do is take away it all from a kid and give nothing saying it is fair
and your final argument is "suck it up butter cup".

Bless your heart. You are bent on raising kids who will grow into broken people. What is your conviction? Every house needs a strong foundation, every tree needs a strong roots. You want both, no roots and no foundation and you clearly give no F. about the tree at the end. [/quote]

why can't THE DAD provide that foundation?[/quote]
