If I ran my mouth to my parents like that(back in the day), there'd be hell to pay.

Yeah I wonder if he had a spanking after that. Probably not. Seems like the parents think this is too cute. lol

I've always raised my daughter to advocate for herself, even against me. And there are times I'm impressed that I must yield to her superior argument. She knows, however, that there's a way to present her position commensurate to our parent-child relationship. And she knows my final decision holds.

The reading I have of the kid above is that he doesn't seem to appreciate his mom's place of authority, repeatedly cutting her off and ultimately vying for the privileged "I'm done arguing with you." He seems to see himself as her equal, which ain't gonna be as "cute" in a few years.

No kidding. A 3-year-old mouthing off like that? He needs his fanny warmed.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned and 'out of touch', but I don't find that cute at all. Like XxAxX said, total lack of discipline. Mom better get that kid's shit straight now, or there'll be problems later on.

I remember when my niece was three, she tried that finger-waving shit on her father - he gave her a look, and you could hear a pin drop in the house. No more finger-waving after that.

Agree 100% (in a less eloquent manner)

And triple agree with that same behavior ain't gonna be cute in a few years, but then it's too late to correct it.

My mom had a "look" that would bore through a child and blister the paint on the wall behind her (he kid). lol

You already know what his male figure sounds like,
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

See. No way in fo hells would my mother tolerate that mess. This is a classic example of the child imitating behavior he has witnessed firsthand. Sounds like his damn father I bet. Linda should tape her husband and her arguing and see what happends.

I get the impression too that he is copying the father or someone by the way he also calls her 'honey'. It's like he's heard it before.

That's what I don't like about it.
The man is probably just as disrespectful to her.

If I told my dad to listen to me like that when i was 4 or so...he'd tell me to go fuck myself and that would be the end of it.

No need for the 'damn' father bit yet...Shyra.

.

A lot of comments here prejudging the Father and males in general...without any evidence whatsoever...have to assume there's some projection going on and / or ambivalence to males in general.

.

Try not to project your unresolved childhood traumas onto others. Thx.

.

Just a reminder that females are generally the early carers, teachers and influencers...anyone informed about early childhood years would easily identify the issue here is quite possibly the lack of a Father.

Could you point out the part in Shyra or anyone else's post where they impugn "males in general"? All I've seen is people suggesting, quite logically, that the young boy might well be imitating his father - the "Honey!" he puts in there makes that seem like a likely hypothesis. Anyone informed about early childhood years will know that children relentlessly imitate those in their environment, and what they see comes out in the speech, in their play, etc, so it's a fairly reasonable assumption. No 'unresolved traumas' necessary to explain it.

Perhaps you're a little oversensitive and inclined to feel personally slighted even by criticism of an individual man by women, and 'project' onto the critic some ideas about a woman in your own life (perhaps even 'women in general'). That last paragraph certainly seems to be groping, against likely hypotheses, for a way to point the finger at females and absolve the father. Some 'unresolved traumas' with an ex partner wouldn't surprise me.

Your whole post smacks of oversensitivity...'deebee'.

.

Merely because I had an opposing opinion....off you go 'impugning' and fantasising whatever about some imagined 'ex-partner', lol!...tell the Org more about your fantasies if you like...I'm uninterested.

Matter of fact, you're lucky I even responded...easy to ignore facile, inane (and insane) over-reactions like yours.

Next.
