Southbrooklyn – I didn’t want to have parents of less abled children screaming about what age kids say no. Guess I erred on the wrong side of caution – or it’s just hopeless to think this can be an objective discussion.
Well, south brooklyn, as it seems that some parents can’t handle parenting very well, we may as well chime in!! : P
yup, the childless are full of opinions about how those of us with children should parent. really, it’s rather entertaining. DIBS thinks it’s all very simple — just *don’t let* your kid have a fit! Arkady thinks that because a child understands the meaning of the word “no” at a year and a half (and actually, if you had a kid, you would know that it’s much earlier than that), it’s a short step to having them listen and obey. bxgrl seems to think she deserves credit for the fact that her sister raised a couple of nice kids — thanks to her amazing advice of “you’re the parent”!
again, some of the moms in the article are quite silly, but they irk me far less than the ignorant opinionating of some of the people on this thread.
I guess Rob’s pitbull is unlicensed. Why am I not surprised?

Do the right thing.
Sigh, what a thread. I wonder if Vicki Sell will respond to this at some point.
She falls into the camp of parents who are irate? Probably a camp of 1.If this is the same Vicki Sell that owns the Chip Shop my message is that I fall into the camp of parents who believe that deep fried fish and deep fried Twinkies are unhealthy. What do I do? I SAY NO to my kids. Not real difficult. I think we can now close the 2009 search for Park Slope’s craziest, self indulgent parent. Congrats Vicki
license for dogs?! huh?
*rob*
Great point, arkady! I mean, we even make people get licenses for dogs.
We’d be better off if anyone could marry but people had to be licensed to have kids.
