Brat

[vraiblonde]

"Soph, come on up here and eat some cereal."
"I just want marshmallows."
"No, you can't just have marshmallows - come up here and get some cereal."
"I JUST WANT MARSHMALLOWS!!! : :"
"Fine! Here! Look - just marshmallows!"

---------------------------

(adults chatting)
"BE QUIET!!! I'm TRYING to watch TV!!!"
(adults stop talking so as not to disturb 3 year old while she's watching TV)

---------------------------

"Eat your breakfast and we can go swimming."
"I WANT TO GO SWIMMING NOW!!!"
"You have to eat your breakfast first."
": : YAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!"
"Fine. Go get your suit and we'll take some snacks in case you get hungry laer."

---------------------------

"Where's Shane?"
"He's off playing golf with Uncle Larry."
"I WANT SHANE!!!! : :"

<---me gritting my teeth so as not to scoop up young Brattica and beat her ass for her.

And she called my SIL a buttface yesterday without any repurcussion.

You are much more patient than I.

That's a FABULOUS idea!!! Why didn't I think of that?

Do you manage to keep your mouth shut in those situations? D's sister is VERY lax in parenting and while on vacation her middle child (10) had the nerve to tell me to, "shut up," several times in a row. Let's just say that I didn't hold back my comments and a mini-family fued has since began. :littlea-hole:

If at 10 yo, I had told an adult to SHUT UP, I would not have had any teeth.

I will not be around my neice and nephew when there parents ARE around. I took them a couple weeks ago overnight and they were perfect angels for me. My authority will not be undermined and I have no problem beating their arses when they're in my care. Funny how it never came down to that though....

Spare the rod, spoil the child

Spare the rod, spoil the child

thats the most dumbest saying I have ever heard.

 

[KCM]

OMG Vrai. My new SIL has two girls from her first marriage that are just like that too. If they were might daughters, I would have popped them in the mouth long ago.

Same here.

Some of these sound just like my 3 year old son! He's getting to know the wall real well lately!! A few pops on the butt and a few pops to the mouth now and then. I hope this phase passes soon!

Sounds like the relative we had on our trip to the OBX. Always complaining about this or that, not liking what was being served for dinner and wanting pizza instea...on and on and on. Only thing, she is in her 20's. Felt like smackin her!

I thought there was an unwritten rule that said "don't tell other people how to raise their kids."

I don't necessarily agree with some of things my brother and sister inlaw do with their kids but if I told him about it he would probably punch me in the nose. If he did it to me, he could expect the same.

If you really want some fun, go tell a frazzled mother who's brat is kicking and screaming at the grocery store what she is doing wrong.

As much as the parenting skills or the lack thereof of others tries one's patience, its better to leave well enough alone. Only bad things will come of it.

I love how her KID tells you to shut up, but you're the bad guy.

Can't she see how beautiful you are?

 

[K_Jo]

I don't care whose kid it is. If it tells an adult to "shut up," it needs to be put in its place. If not, the kid gets the "I don't have to listen to you" attitude and will be more and more of a smart ass until Jabba snaps and beats its ass, maybe even in Walmart.

Well, you'll REALLY love this then

When Wild Thing gets lippy, her Dad puts hot sauce on her tongue. So last night we're sitting at the dinner table and she starts being stupid and her Mom says, "Soph, don't talk to people like that." And I said, "Oh no! Sophie, I think you should be as naughty as you can because I want to see this hot sauce trick!" "Grrr..." says Mom, "Instigator!" "Hello?" says Dad (voice of reeason), "If you don't want Aunt Dee Jay to see you eat hot sauce, you better mind your manners!"

So now Soph is avoiding me because she knows I want to see her get her tongue stung.

You're evil! That sounds like a good trick, though. I wonder if it works on cats?

Dee Jay was there?
