One of the reasons I married a child therapist! ( For the record,I mean a woman who does behavioral therapy with kids...not a child who does therapy)

I was about to say you looked familiar. Thought it could have been an Amber Alert!

In the car with Daddy is a fate worse than death according to my 6 year old . . . who has never actually gone to the car with Daddy.

the only thing i have any patience for in my entire life right now is my daughter. good bad or indifferent.

that said, she's only 13 months and still cute when she acts up.

when she gets to 3 or 4 we'll deal with this kind of stuff then......for now, she can do no wrong.

I hate to break it to you but you have about seven months left of nonstop cuteness!:)

well, i can already tell there's a finite amount of patience and cuteness left. she's developed quite the personality in the last 3 months.

i'm sure i'm in store for some 'good' times in the future...........so i'm going to enjoy it while i can.

This brings up another issue that drives me crazy. I was at a bar here in Knoxville Monday evening and I get up there and some woman had her kid sitting right up at the bar just ranting and being talkative and carrying on.

I leave work and want to relax with a beer/Wild Turkey 101. The last thing I need is for some snot nosed kid running his mouth and making a scene. If I wanted to here somebody immature just running their mouths and talking about nothing, I could drink at my girlfriend's house.

My kid is turning three this weekend. The cuteness factor doesn't appear to go away, I'm hoping for around 13-14. Sometimes I cant discipline my kid without turning around and smiling.

My wife and I have the same problem. Sometimes the "bad thing" they are doing is so off the wall you have to fight back laughter or their reaction to your smack on the butt is so over the top!

Yep.

And I know it's irrirtaing for people, but you really don't understand 'til you have kids. That said there's a dofference in just being annoyed with kids in general, and parnets not doing their jobs. Some people think kids shouldn't be in public, and I couldn't give a flying (insert curse word here) what they think. As long as the parent tries, that's all you can ask for sometimes. My daughter was and is pretty good about not showing out in public too much, so I'm lucky.

I bounced my daughter so she would spit up all over my sister in law when she was a baby. It made me feel good inside.

True to an extent. Removing them from public can reinforce bad habits too. If you are eating out for example, yes remove them. If you are in a grocery store you can ignore the behavior (you are not ruining a meal someone paid for) and then discipline. That way they learn the rules for public behavior and don't learn they can make Mommy or Daddy take them away from a place they don't want to be right then. There is no one right way, like I said earlier you walk a thin line.

What about the poor workers who have to listen to that all day long? (former Wal-Mart cashier)

It can't possibly be worse than the people with the EBT cards that try to argue they were over charged for a bag of apples. (happened in the line in front of me Sunday)

It isn't... same with WIC vouchers. My point is, screaming kids with parents just ignoring them and going about their business just heaps on top of those.

I'm not telling anyone how to parent. I know I'm in for it when I have some critters because of the hell I gave my parents. I was simply saying if the screaming gets to the point where it's ridiclious..... take them outside.

I have no probelm with that, ecpetwhat if you're a single mom with 3 kids trying to handle all of them? But for the most part I agree.

And it is true, everything you did as a kid comes back to get you... Bill Cosby called it the curse.
