I couldn't believe what I saw last night

Some things are obvious to me, judgemental people for example, parenting skills from posts on a disney board are not.

And your post is not in the least judgemental, right?

Yep completely and totally judgemental of what is obvious.

Me too, and to me, it was obvious and still is.

Okay, another thing you are an expert on.

Let's see...we can't judge whether or not parent let the child manipulate them because we weren't there...even though the parent told us that she gave in to the child so that the child wouldn't throw a temper tantrum... Ah ha, makes sense to some, I am sure.

my main function here is to help others. I rarely come over to the CB because I spend most of my time here helping others arrange their trips.

If you don't like my opinion, fine, there is no need to be sarcastic and the defender of the undefendable.

Now, the issue here is about young boys in a public bathroom.
Do I find that offensive, NO, not in the least. Do I find that evasive, NO, not in the least. It has morphed into something way over the top, and I, for one, am sorry it happened.

Now, why don't you go give Haunted Mansion etc, etc a big hug and sprinkle her with pixie dust and we can all get back to the regularly scheduled programming.

No, they TRY to manipulate, they only win if you let them. Who's in charge? Hmmm, seems to me the answer is obvious.

Just curious.... how would that be obvious?

Don't most parents pick their battles? If a 3 year old wants one particular adult family member to escort him or her to the bathroom, I don't see how allowing that is ruining the child for life

also, do people really not understand that sometimes a poster may paraphrased, or even maybe embellished a story to make a point ... but then again, I do understand that some people find a need to examine every word ever written by posters on the DIS to be archived, verified and authenticated...

Personally, if I witnessed a parent endulge a 3 year old at McDonalds or any other restaurant to prevent a meltdown or tantrum, I would be more relieved to not have to listen to a screaming kid (as most 3 year olds will do on occasion when they don't get what they want) and let them re-establish their authority on the way home or when they get there.... I certainly wouldn't presume to judge the parenting skills of a parent who prevented a public tantrum.

JMHO of course.

ah, no, I am deadly serious. Why not do a search on my name and see for yourself?

Actually that WAS most of the problem. LOLI didn't want to disturb the peace....so I stemmed the meltdown in it's tracks and dealt with the behavior a little bit later.

So glad to see Gail has such well-raised kids though! She must be proud of her child raising skills. Not everyone is able to do it perfectly and please everyone at all times! Impressive indeed!

Not on this thread.

Now, why don't you go back with your friends and call people names and belittle and laugh at them. You are truly the expert at that.

I don't know about most parents. I was one that did not battle with my children.

I can tell you that if one of my, now adult, children started a "meltdown" anywhere, they were promptly removed from anywhere it could disturb anyone else, so, your point about preventing it is definitely taken. I simply did not believe in "wait till you get home". Strike while the iron is hot was more like it, and I don't mean strike the child either. My kids were not perfect, still are not, however, I established who was in charge very early on and my kids were easy kids to raise, I got lucky.


Your HO was welcomed and the way it was presented was appreciated. Thank you.

Well Snoopy, not as good as you. You have that title tied up.

 

[nuke]

I'm not Snoopy. What title do I have tied up?

opps, my error, snoopygirl.

 

[nuke]

Wow you found out my ezboard username. Congratulations! You earn your jr. detective badge Gail. How again are you helpful?

 

[ByTheSea]

Jeez Louise Gail, is that your attempt at manipulation?

For someone who talks about teaching kids NOT to manipulate, or is that just not to manipulate their parents?

Or maybe you can explain why you would suddenly be referring to Nuke by a user name she formerly used on the DIS? Is she a friend of yours?

She IS a friend of mine, and quite frankly I don't believe she's at all hurt, upset or scared that you called her by a name she hasn't used in a few years here... but what I don't see is what is the point?

Do you even know her? Or are you trusting information being fed to you by others has anything remotely to do with reality?

 

[nuke]

I actually never used Snoopygirl on the DIS. So the little factoid that she was fed is totally insignificant.

 

[ByTheSea]

My mistake - I'm sure that will somehow be held against me for a few years....

 

[nuke]

No doubt! I can see it now. She can't even keep her own friend's names straight. You probably need some new meds or something.
