  @Evil_Bender @GoyGirl @VaxxSabbath @s2208 My mother was taught honey.
  
  I cannot imagine anything worse to give a baby over and over again than a sugar craving from that early an age.

  My 2-y.o. currently screaming in his crib about late nap, lol, isn't a breeze, either, but he's a lot more verbal & "reasonable" most the time.
  
  I don't mind occasional big feels at home not directed at me... still learning emotional regulation.
  No one LIKES to spank their kids, but no one else likes them if you don't.

  My 5-y.o. is hard. Oldest wasn't. Started so right at 3, which some chalked up to new baby due any day, then his arrival.
  
  Doesn't matter what it was, said the shit couldn't hit me. Home alone w/him WAAAY too much for that. Right/wrong the one area of mush life for hubs is kid discipline. K, it's kinda wrong, but gets it from his dad (out-of-state a lot of his childhood, then softie when home). Men with guilt about out-of-town jobs go hard-ass, or soft-ball, my mom always said... I got soft-ball.
  
  Meh, I made up for it, I'm sure (I spank... he got big enough/avoidant enough, I wooden spoon, but only have to threaten that one 90% of time now... thankfully). Well, found out year+ ago he's autistic. He RARELY hits me anymore, though, & isn't such a tard he couldn't learn. Has turned to Dad instead, who sporadically will finally spank him, too. It actually makes me crazy to watch people, even my husband, let a kid be an overt shit because - you're right - that's only worse with age. It's a youth test for many. End it then.

  @GoyGirl @VaxxSabbath @s2208 The faster you can get your kid to be seriously-minded, the better.
  
  This is the first test of the parent imo.

  @VaxxSabbath @s2208 I totally agree.
  
  Just one problem.... the mother works at a Montesouri primary school lol
  
  You can expect there to be little to no discipline in that house.

  @s2208 MAte of mine has a son, and he throws tantrums.
  
  And I totally love the little guy, adorable kid to me. But he hits his dad and screams and makes a big scene when he doesn't get his way.
  
  I feel like spanking him and just explaining to him that he's really not hurting anyone but himself. He's wasting time he could be using in far better ways.
  
  He's 5. Not 14.
  
  14 he should be chasing girls and at least working out an interest that's feasible, in a perfect world. Got my first computer at 14.

  @thefinn @s2208 yeah, that 5-year old needs a solid and instant switching when that shit happens
  the key to dealing with tantrums is to make it very clear that
  1. you are in charge, and
  2. you do not ever, under any circumstances, negotiate with terrorists, and
  3. throwing any kind of a fit at all absolutely guarantees that not only will the kid not ever get anything that he does want, it will get him lots of things he doesn’t want, and that this is as utterly reliable as the sun rising in the morning
  if he makes this clear from the get-go, he’ll have way fewer problems; if this shit is still happening at age 5, there’s a lot of work to do, but it’s still feasible to deter this kind of behavior
  if it keeps going on unchecked much longer, well, I guess enjoy the teenage years (he will not enjoy the teenage years and the kid will be taught some very brutal lessons by life)
  (it goes without saying that if there’s any kind of electronics (phone, tablet) involved that shit needs to be disappeared like yesterday, and not come back for a very long time if ever)

  got a discipline question
  
  14 year old son with shit for brains when it comes to common sense. nothing unusual about that.
  
  but all semester, he has told us he was on the cross-country team, and he was staying after school to train
  
  but he hasn’t. he’s been lying to us and going to the comic book shop.
  
  what’s a suitable punishment for this?
