War Room Lounge v52: Oh, We Beefin' Now

Working from home! So don't have to use a vacation day, and also don't need to hide my horrible hangover and wincing at bright lights from the boss

I am sure you will be very productive.

Did you guys know Octopuseses have brains in their tentacles, and their tentacles move independently from their head? They have 9 brains. Superior species imo.

And here I am, without even one single brain.

The most productive. Very productive. We’re going to be so productive, you’ll get tired of being productive. Productive is my middle name people, and we’re going to become productive again.

Well, my buddy’s kid is that way and it’s driving me nuts

You can recommend he sends his kids to an old style boarding school. Guaranteed to sort out discipline problems (including interrupting adults instead of waiting to be acknowledged before speaking, running around yelling in public, calling adults by their first names, failure to understand the concept of personal space etc etc), although I think they have largely disappeared these days.
That said, I had an exception made for me to the eating everything on your plate rule (only non-medical exception I'm aware was made), as even a teaspoon of Gula Melaka would instantly make me vomit. I think it was more the sensation than the flavour, although I tried some a few years ago and it turns out I actually like it as an adult.

I get this as that’s how my folks raised me but the kid to be fair is 3 and I feel like my buddy is unwilling to really come down on his 3 year old cause her mom died shortly after childbirth.

Well your buddy needs to stop trying to make his kid like him anduse a little dicipline.

He needs to teach her the “children are to be seen not heard” thing as she’ll just yell “papa” randomly and take sneeze to get attention. I’ve had to bite my tongue a bunch to not blurt it out or tell her to be quiet. Not my kid and I’m not his significant other so it’s none of my business.

Picky eaters and tantrums are the parents fault. You have to discipline your child and let the,try different foods. If you only ever offer chicken fingers, mac and cheese and hot dogs that's all they'll eat. If you let your child throw fits and be snotty brats without consequence, they'll be snotty brats it's a learned behavior.

Lol spoken like someone who’s never had a kid.

My son eats everything because we feed him everything, so he’s not picky in that sense, but only when he wants to. And every kid ever has tantrums, clingy phases, “naughty” phases. It’s part of being a toddler.

The kid is three! Lmao no boarding schools or listening to spinsters Greg. Yeah the kid needs rules and discipline but this sounds normal for a toddler. The kid will probably grow out of it in a year.

That may be. I hope they grow out of it soon cause it’s driving me up a fucking wall.

Meh, three year olds throw fits, it’s what they do. Parents do need to discipline them, but it can be a long process before it sinks in. You have to be consistent and, frankly, ignore the dumb dumbs who assume you coddle your child because they see them acting like a brat in Target. It’s easy to start questioning yourself wrt raising a whole person, but the reality is, every kid responds in different ways and has different circumstances in their life that can impact their behavior. You have to be able to adapt to their individual personality and still teach them to be good humans, without making them feel like shit about themselves. Not always easy, and there are no silver bullets that make tantrums disappear, especially at that age.

Just my two cents.

It is normal for a kid who isn't abused. A kid in a happy environment will typically do all kinds of things like that, they're trying things out, finding out about the world. A child that's abused will tend not to have tantrums or complain because they're afraid it will provoke abuse.

I recommend boarding schools for everyone! ...but three is a bit young. As long as you get them before 7.

Im basing this off just how my siblings and I were raised. My mom stayed home with my oldest siblings and catered to their every need. My brother and I were looked after by our Nannie and she made us try everything. We are by far less picky than our three older siblings. All of us were raised to not interupt of throw fits. I m sure that we had meltdowns, like you said all kids do, but it was not in anyway close to what Greg is describing.

 

[Fawlty]

Greg, I just got off a Skype session with ripskater and several of his legitimate IRL friends with Sherdog accounts, and he wanted me to pass along that the child probably thinks you're gay because you're co-habitating with his father, and that you're confusing him and this is why he is acting out.

Personally, I think that's outrageous, but any port in a storm and all that.
