I know a family with a 3, almost 4 year old who got kicked out of a daycare because he refused to ever listen and would often hit people. The mom never made an attempt to correct him. She thought being positive would help it. The husband and her would fight constantly about it. They finally got him help after he repeatedly injured his younger sibling.

My 3.5 year old only does it and every time I stop and have him ask politely and tell him no one likes it, I tried telling him people will kick him out their house or that there’s germs or even took his food so he would see how it feels. Please please tell me how to fix this so you don’t think badly of my kid bc I also hate it.

My child did this and I think it's because she has ADHD. She just couldn't think before acting. Therapy and meds have made it better. I feel really guilty for being ashamed of her behavior and just keep telling her she needed to do better, rather than taking a step back to figure out what was going on and to find a solution.

Their parents’ food? I don’t think it’s a big deal. My 2.5 year old always wants to try what we are eating (nobody else’s). Never thought it was bad

Maybe she’s just accident prone, but it just seems like she just doesn’t care. Last time she was here she drew on my breakfast table. It washed off, but still annoying.

Writing on a table is not an accident. That kid would never be welcome at my home anymore.

It's not the kid's fault that they have crappy parents. I usually try to give the kids a chance and enforce my rules in my home before banning them.

My kids are teens, but I am shocked by the number of Millennial parents who allow their kids to run wild in restaurants and stores. It is mindboggling. I will tell kids to stop running. I've had it.
