Do wimpy kids anno yyuo

[Mud]

stuck in park today, in cafe
woman and 6 year old boy in long shorts and t-shirt like ever y other kid there
boy shirieking at top of his voice about being cold and theyu should shut the doors - ear-piercing and sobbing mother cuddling and explaining, he calms down and then starts up aain - so loud - so verly loud

evyer time a child falls over from first steps get up and brush it off and they learn to do that and only comeplain when a real hrut

hello cod agian

...and if they don't manage it, they're worthless

Nice person you are, Mud

Greeny tbh I DO think it ("oh fgs") but I don't think it is the right thing to do

as an adult sometimes I am upset or touchy because I am tired, or vulnerable, or just for no good reason

I would like people to treat me with kindness and patience (and most of you on here DO ) not say "oh fgs geddoverit"

yes i am a nice person - i dont' liek adults who think the world owes them a living and that you shsould bend to their every desire which is what some yong adults become - and that is the parents fault

yes but surely part of being a parent is to judge when your child is actually hurt if you know its just a minor bump then i don't think there is anything wrong or callous about saying 'come on get up and go and play again'

if parents pander/molly coddle to children everytime they get hurt (even when they know the child is not hurt) how will they as an adult be able to deal with the unfortunate knocks we all get in life?? won't they expect someone else to come and make it better for them instead of doing it themselves??

crumbs mud, it's a bit more complex than that!!

totally agreeing with F&Z's nuturing theme...a demonstration of care and a wise intervention is pretty fundamental...and tbh, I too would never label and disregard any child as a 'brat'....nasty lazy shorthand for "I just couldn't be arsed thinking the matters through and responding as best as possible."

All IMVHO.

mud- to be fair I suspect it's an attitude thing rather than a resource thing, and probably how people are brought up themselves, like so many things are.

eys agree think that must be a factor too - am i right though pan, do yuo have one child?

indeed - tis on profile, Sherlock!

My DS is wimpy and it annoys me! I am not like that at all and it grates hugely

hm...I suppose actually my youngest is quite wimpish...well, he blinking screeches higher then a girl and louder and longer, lol...and it really does annoy me....and he does this for all sorts, from proper reasons, i.e. ms thumping him to just doping it because msor es move and ys doesn't want them too....
he is a sensitive child though...I know that grinds with some...but honest, he came from the womb screaming and didn't rreally stop till he was a year and even then everyhting was slightly different with him, dispite him being "normal" whatever that is...

oh yes, cos mine arent' not afraid of the slide like someof their peers
i blame the parents.

tis not just about being afraid of a slide...believe...me..and also, I do not baby any of my Kids, least teh last one, lol..but loody hell does he try to hang onto babydom for dear life...sigh....
it alwasy botheres me when people say, oh t's the parents, cos I have a very high spirited ms and a shy/sensitive ys...I tread them equally enough, well meating hteir needs...so, how the effing hell did they turn out THAT different...
es...well, it's to long ago for me to remember quite how he was...jsut remmebr I thought he was a nightmare anyway....(good as gold now)

I rather love wimpy kids. DD is a fearless warrior-child (of which I am of course very proud) and DS is too young to be considered wimpy or otherwise, so I have a lot of pent up mollycoddling inside me.

McDonalds kids annoy me more.

(Waits for tumbleweed.

Thinks that joke would have worked better 20 years ago.

Slinks away.)

Oh UD - look at your forlorn post sitting there...well I thought it was funny. [pity]

F&Z, the thing about teaching kids that Mummy/Daddy have always got the time to cuddle them if they're sad or scared is not too bad as long as it doesn't end up with them thinking that everybody has the time to cuddle them and sympathise with them whenever they feel the need for it. That's how you end up with emotionally incontinent drama queens who are incapable of percieving that sometimes other people might have broken limbs which need a bit more attention than their own broken fingernail.

lol madameez...tbh, still don't think it's about the raising of the Kid....my sis grew up with me (poor Kid) i was several times in Hospital because of my bilateral cleft lip and palate (no fn in thse days, no fun now)....but my sister will still only see mememememe...because apparently she was neglected because I was in Hospital...yes right...Hospital stays for Kids in them days looked like that...you would be away for at least 6 weeks, because of visiting times unless parents are living nearby...you have a visit maybe on a sunday..if you are unlucky enough to stay in the baby unit, if you did have visitors then tehy would be outsie a glass pane (cos you really noticed those visitors as a 3-6 month old....)so, yes, my sister feels hard done by having a sister with a problem...poor thing...and tbh i really do feel for her...must take a lot of energy from life and enjoyment to be that selfcentrd...I hae mylife any day....

sorry that was a bit of a rant...

No. I really don't have time to give a toss.

Maybe the child is SN. As a mum of an SN child, whenever I see something like that, that's usually my first thought.

They do a little and they shouldn't I know. I 'tsk' silently inside at them and then feel guilty!
