The daughter is distant and aloof. Dad stayed home with daughter when mother went out of town on a girl’s trip, daughter completely melted down. Dad came to my office a frazzled mess. He kept asking, “What am I doing wrong?”’ I need help in explaining to him that he is not doing anything wrong. Need help in Boise. Thanks,
Leslie Szasz

Did she grow out of this bully phase or is this something you needed to knuckle down on?

They’re too afraid to “take away” the child’s own identity and so, instead of guiding the child, they ask for permission for everything. “Baby, can mommy change your diaper now?”

Humanity has become ridiculous.

Imagine how families from the past century that had to produce their own food from sunrise to sundown would be able to put food on the table if they were commanded by babies!

The world needs to wake up. Babies are future adults that need to know how to share and respect others when they grow out of their homes where they can scream and beat as they please because their parents are so scared to contradict them.

Yes I can see in my just over 3.5 year old much more defiant. I find bossy and so emotional. This is quite reassuring

My 3y old is so so mean and her friend as well (“go cry with your mum, crybaby” after successfully conquering a toy). I am shocked. Don’t know how to deal with this excessive bullying behaviour. Try to talk to her, but how much can you talk really, they’re just 3y old. I never was like this and neither my husband.

Puts things into perspective. My daughter is in between 3 and 3.5 and pushing me harder than ever.
