happyhippy Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Sorry, but that doesn't make sense? Why? Can you not understand English? Were your assertion correct, that the child didn't need the toilet, then she wouldn't have taken the child there.
*_ash_* Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I've just read all of the posts, and can't believe people defending the woman, I'm not lucky enough to have kids, but most of my friends have, and at 3-4 (well... the oldest of my friends is 3) , but when he says he needs to pee, then its NOW!! or within one minute... ken, once again, you seem very hardline, yeah kids do rant (ice cream ice cream!!) and get sometimes, but ive never heard of a kid screaming for the lav for attention ash
blip Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 i most certainly do not need anyone telling me how to bring him up, Thank you. That was the answer I was expecting.
blip Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Why? Can you not understand English? Were your assertion correct, that the child didn't need the toilet, then she wouldn't have taken the child there. Nope. Sorry. You still make no sense whatsoever. And what's with the reference to the wiki quote? What's your point? Do you disagree with the definition of a toddler?
blip Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 No, I think that's wrong. Were she right, then she would no doubt have (rightly) stood her ground. She didn't, and actually took her child to the toilet. Sorry. I didn't get that either. Maybe it's me who doesn't speak English, maybe it's you. Perhaps there's an impartial advisor on SF who can come to a conclusion?
happyhippy Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 So, tinkabel, what would you do if you were shopping in town with a brat who was attention-seeking and some do-gooder told you how to be a 'proper parent'? Would you say "Thank you dear, I'm sorry for being a bad parent, I'll take her to the toilet now" or would you slap her? Any parent can tell the difference between a 'true' cry for help, and the yell of a little so-and-so. My youngest is having the 'Terrible Two's', and can be a right royal pain in the posterior, but if she says she needs the loo, you bloody well do it,even if on the way to the probably-non-existent-facilities-for-fathers, you're saying "I'll bet you don't need something .....". Your choice (inferred, admittedly) to end the debate above is very much reminiscent of the sort of 'Pollards' who define the behaviour first mentioned.
happyhippy Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Nope. Sorry. You still make no sense whatsoever. And what's with the reference to the wiki quote? What's your point? Do you disagree with the definition of a toddler? Ok. I'll not use the correct verb constructions; the subjunctive was required in them. How about this: "If the kid dint needa effin p**s, she wunt av gon an teken er innit?. No wha I meen? BRRRRRRAP! Wiki? Effin WIKI? It's med up, sis. NE1 can put stuf on dere an say its kosha." The definition of a toddler is down to the development of the child, really. Some kids are advanced, some not so. Don't take the word of an 'encyclopedia' which relies on the public at large to fill it.
happyhippy Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Sorry. I didn't get that either. Maybe it's me who doesn't speak English, maybe it's you. Perhaps there's an impartial advisor on SF who can come to a conclusion? Oh please .......
happyhippy Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 If my son was screaming in pain (not that i would let it get to that stage, as soon as my son muttered 'mummy i need the toilet') i'd take him to the toilet straight away, clothes shopping can wait, my sons needs can't, pretty SIMPLE really!!!!! All kids attention seek, its part of being a parent but to not take you child to the toilet is cruel and disgusting, you have maddened me with your posts tonight and to be honest i could tell you exactly what i think but i don't want to lower myself to your level. Hear hear!
*_ash_* Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Any parent can tell the difference between a 'true' cry for help, and the yell of a little so-and-so. Not just parents, ive said im not one(parent), and yet i hear my friends kids, and even i can hear the different between i want sweets, and i need a pee. Its human instincts, its not difficult. I dont know why anyone is querying this childs needs. And if i have to, i'll give an adult version of this exact scenario. ash
