He's going to grow up into the guy I used to date.

ha! You are so totally wrong. Three year old kids understand that their punishments. She will be asking, but not getting the sweet will be a consequence that will work all day long. Especially if Miles gets something for dessert after dinner. She will mention it thirty times before the day is out, and cry about it…

That's not as true as you'd think. Some people do that, others freeze or collapse, especially if they believe the child is dead. I saw one woman literally not be able to understand that we'd found her husband and their young child (and these were missing hikers, so no chance she was involved) for like 5 minutes, and…

There is nothing wrong with "english" food.

'MERICA!

A good friend's son is about this age and such a liar. The other day he lied about something very obvious and his mom called him on it, "Julio, why are you lying to me? I was there and I know that it didn't happen." Without missing a beat, he said "Oh mommy, at school the teacher gave me rotten noodles to eat and…

I still hate Nancy Grace with the fire of one thousand suns.

This is a terrible mother. Good mothers TURN THEIR PHONE!

If you think driving a PVC pipe into a kid's chest is something your parents would do, and normal, I urge you to discuss this with someone.

Did you watch the video all the way through?
When the kid said "I won't love you any second" the mother replied "That's OK, you don't HAVE to love Mommy, but you DO have to be obedient." It ends with the mother saying "Just because you were disobedient, you don't get any more sweets all day. Now throw away those…

The mom did a pretty good job of explaining what the punishment was and why without getting mad. Looked like pretty good parenting to me.

But the Mom DID do something. She engaged her child in a lesson about disobedience and the consequences of her actions. For a three 3 year old, that is a perfectly appropriate response. Do people actually believe spanking and/or yelling at her would have been more effective? My god, talking to and teaching a kid…

you're FUN

You can't spell "Miles" without "lies."

All of this rubs me the wrong way, but what pisses me off the most is his assertion that she brings something new to the table because she'd be the first person in the Oval Office who survived cheating. I think it's really ballsy to assume none of our male presidents have ever been cheated on, particularly since…

They say kids learning to lie at this age is a necessary step in cognitive development. It signals higher thought processes and their intent is not really to deceive but to tell a story how they see it in their heads.

I have never needed to be reminded that I had Thin Mints in my freezer.

Samoas forever!!!
