That would be really funny,

"pick up you room"

"what?"

"pick up you room"

"what?"

"I SAID pick up you room"

"Okay!"

5 min later....

"I thought I told you to clean your room!"

"what?"

......

You should definitely try to instill in her that it was wrong. While there's nothing wrong with thinking it's cute, it sounds to me like you may possibly be in the beginning stages of a case of MLAS. The vast majority of modern-day parents suffer from anything from a moderate to a severe case of My Little Angel Syndrome. Seeing the child in such a light as they can do no wrong leads to not disciplining them, which turns out a spoiled brat with no regard for the concerns, rights, and often safety of other people. Of course, MLAS is as insidious as it is because the parent(s) can never see that this is the case. Their child isn't yelling in the movie theatre, for example, s/he is just being his/her cute little angelic self. Only nasty child-haters would want to see the movie instead of listening to such a gorgeous child yell for two hours. Don't suffer needlessly. MLAS is easily preventable by taking responsibility for raising your child.

Sorry, we threw those away when we became parents. My daughter learns more with a stern tone of voice than with a whippin'.

Interesting that you can make the diagnosis from one incident, Doctor. Please, tell me more.

If my daughter was yelling in a movie thetre(which she wouldn't be there in the first place precisely because of this possibility happening), she would be removed instantly, not hush-hushed.

Do you have kids?

"Uh, Dale...'spare the rod and spoil the child' means you're in favor of spanking."

"like I always do" insinuates much more than one incident.

One of the most telling symptoms of MLAS is overreacting to the suggestion that MLAS is a possibility

And I'm not suggesting physical punishment if that's not your thing, though I personally advocate it. Just real discipline.

 

[Lazy8s]

I say beat the crap out of her.....right after beating the crap out of the people on this board who are flamming you for posting what was supposed to be a cute anicdote of your child.

 

[Gurck]

For a world with better parents I'd take a million beatings

The biggest part of why it's only changing for the worse is that it's taboo to suggest how to change it for the better.

The other day I walked into my 3 year old daughter's room to find all of the closets and dresser drawers opened and nearly everything that had been contained within them strewn all over the bed and floor. Somewhat bemused, I inquired what she was doing. "I'm excavating, Papa!" was her reply. "Excavating?" I queried. "Yes, I'm excavating for my Winnie the Pooh!"

After telling her to be sure to put things back in their proper place, I left the room shaking my head in amusement and wondering where she had learned the word excavating from. Kids are cute, and amazing.

Agreed 100%... A stern voice, time-outs on the staircase and the removal of toys/treats.

"like I always do" insinuates more than one incident OF THAT NATURE. placing a few articles of clothing all over the floor in my private home is a lot different than screaming your head off in a public theater. Each situation requires a different approach. Obviously I wouldn't approve of such behavior in a theatre, but then again, that's why I usually prevent this by avoiding the theatre all together.


Do you have any kids? I usually don't need to explain this type of thing to parents. If you don't have kids, then go ahead and give me your sources, so I can read about the subject of MLAS myself. Or I can google. Otherwise, tell me more, please! Thanks!
