[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1462062, member: 21194"] I've probably told this story here before, but when our son was very small my wife had gone to lunch with a casual acquaintance who had a similarly aged child. When I got home she was telling me about it. She said our son sat in his high chair, ate his lunch, and minded his own business while the other child was constantly misbehaving. The other mother said something like "[i]Why don't you be nice like Will?[/i]" Apparently that wasn't especially effective. Anyway, my wife also said that at some point while they were talking this lady said "[i]We don't like to tell our child no. We figure he'll hear that often enough when he gets older[/i]." My wife lost touch with her shortly after this, but I often wonder how that policy worked out for her. Not well, I suspect. [/QUOTE]
