[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, all of these responses, this why there is no village and why every woman is on her own. OP, a paci at 3 for bed is really bad for the teeth and mouth. She needs to be weaned from it. Starting now. [/quote] So talk to the mother, not the kid. For all they knew, the child could have special needs. Cruel to approach a child with that kind of criticism. [/quote] Sometimes a stranger speaking directly to a child is effective. I have been surprised at how receptive my children were to comments or admonishments from strangers. Sure, it doesn't always work. But it's not necessarily malicious - as you are saying it is. [/quote] My child has been the recipient of this type of remark. She has special needs but it is not obvious to a self-righteous scold who could care less about the why of a situation. It would lead to a meltdown. MYOB when it comes to a child which is not in mortal danger. [/quote]
