I have four kids and over the spa...Oof, that sucks. I have four kids and over the span of 25ish years, I've learned a thing or two about kids being cranky brats. It happens, and it's normal. The problem is totally in the way that the parents handle it. The kids aren't the boss, the parent is, and the sooner that's established, the better. There's nothing wrong with a kid having a little healthy fear of their parents. My method of parenting was pretty much 98% patience and management, 1% freaking ignoring crappy behavior, and 1% losing my ever-loving shit. The fear of that little 1% was all it took with my kids. (losing my shit basically involved me screaming like a lunatic)Jessica Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861658300112079021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-35679234591227390752014-11-07T12:15:46.996-06:002014-11-07T12:15:46.996-06:00Right on the money, Sue!Right on the money, Sue!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292626378511729574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-26654985516191502922014-11-07T10:13:33.184-06:002014-11-07T10:13:33.184-06:00What the hell?!?

Most people do. Days where nothing's going right and the world is tap dancing on your last nerve. What's so hard about showing a little sympathy to someone whose kid is deep in tantrum territory? A glance of understanding or a simple, heartfelt, "Rough day, huh?" and a rueful smile can go miles. If the aggrieved mom goes medieval on that, well, it's on her.

We are all in this together people...when this happens, you just look away in sympathy, pretend you don't see it and thank God it's not happening to you this time!mspice3https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411576634368915459noreply@blogger.com
