My sister has a toddler(my kids are older) and my nephew was starting to chew on the blender cord and so I gently removed it from his mouth and said “no.” She immediately yelled at me and said they don’t use “no” they only use “stop.” Is this a new? I’m confused what the difference in no and stop would be at this age??


She’s nuts.

I know parents who literally don’t want their child to ever hear the word no.

They are crippling their own child. And you wonder why mental illness is skyrocketing.

One of these parents is a PhD in psychology specializing in family therapy. God help us.

One of those things new moms think are important but are really not.

If you have a degree in ECE surely you know that the Internet is absolutely overflowing with completely stupid parenting advice that makes no sense at all. This sounds like one of those things. 😂
