[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too tough? What no! If anything you are leaning on the side of too easy. this is one of the reasons kids are spoiled now a days bc they get catered to with their own meals.

Growing up we ate what my parents cooked for the family my parents weren’t short order cooks.

Obviously I’m not talking about allergy restrictions here.

I’m 33 years old so I’m not an 80 year old saying this.

I’m a preschool teacher and I see the spoiledness of children first hand everyday.[/quote]

So there is nothing you don’t eat?[/quote]

And trust and believe I as a preschool teacher suffer the results everyday of parents who don’t discipline and set boundaries and limits for their children. And you can tell by the behavior of the children which children are given limits and boundaries and which ones have mommy and daddy wrapped around their finger and have them spoiled expecting that in life they get everything they want.

But oh that’s right we live in the let’s blame the teachers for everything era. Because now teachers aren’t supposed to just teach but also teach children how to act and behave.[/quote]

This seems pretty over the top. And I’m the last person to blame teachers (my spouse was one, I know how unbearably hard it can be). But things are usually more complicated than you are trying to make it here. Sure I’m sure there are some parents not holding boundaries. For most of my friends that’s not the case though, from what I witness. And kids temperaments play into this soo much more than you are giving credit for. If you were the preschool teacher to my older son, and assumed that kids who push boundaries have parents that are just spoiling them, you would assume we spoil him. But if you were preschool teacher to my youngest, you would definitely think we were parents of the year. My oldest has ADHD, a much more intense temperament and tendency to push push push. My youngest does what you ask the first time most of the time. It’s just who he is, he’s quieter and more sensitive and at this point seems neurotypical.

Anyway, at 3-4 there is a lot you don’t know yet. Some of your kids will later be diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD. Some of them will just be tough 3 year olds. Putting SO much stock into parenting is a little flawed, in my opinion.[/quote]
