[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like to deflect it back to the child (only the ones asking in a mean way). "why do you ask?" or "why do you want to know?" or "is this something you should be concerned about?". That usually shuts them up pretty quick while I haven't been outwardly mean.[/quote] This is a stupid response. They ask and want to know because they're curious, don't understand what they're seeing and trying to understand and make sense of it. [/quote] Only true sometimes. As the OP says, there is a clear difference between the innocently curious kids and the spiteful alpha brats who are being mocking and unkind. [/quote] Yes, do YOU know when your own child asks you a question that he doesn't really want an answer to? I mean, I see threads on DCUM all the time from moms whose kids say things like "Why is your stomach so fat?" Are you telling me you just sit down with your kid and gently provide information about the effects of pregnancy and middle aged bloat? Give me a break. Beyond a certain age you don't put up with that crap.[/quote]
