They took the toddlers back to the stork.

If I was going to take a kid from a stork, you think I’d take THIS one?
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Yeah, one is a teen now and the other is almost there. We have solid relationships and I’ve managed not to call them assholes when they’re acting up. Is there a point you’re trying to make?
Windex007@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes, there is a point I’m trying to make, which is it’s intrinsic to the human condition to paint a much rosier version of your own childrearing experiences once they’re historical.
The internet is awash with new parents wildly frustrated with how incredibly out-of-touch the platitudes they hear about their experience even coming from other older parents.
Your original comment is just that. Judgemental and out of touch. You can make a kid act like that? A screaming toddler? There will certainly be times when nothing you can do within the laws of physics can PREVENT them from acting like that. My toddler threw a hysterical fit because the garage door can’t be SIMULTANEOUSLY open AND closed. No, son, I know you believe Daddy can do anything but quantum super positions are even out of my hands.
Should the guy have called his kid an asshole? No.
How harshly should you judge them for it? In that moment? Probably not very.
