Usually, it has just happened through no fault of anyone. Anyhow, my kid is just exercising her freedom of speech. As they say, the remedy aint to shut her up, but rather "more speech" so I guess that means you can throw a yelling screaming hissy as well. Hijinks ensue!!!

oh, sweetie, why did you not scroll then post? "Given that it was Ty and bnb, and perhaps Atticus, with whom I was screwing around, I didn't think one of them would be that silly. I would not have responded in that way to, say, vietmom or even SAM."
I have deleted my bitchy mean fuck-with-your-kid response.
I will note that I have absolutely no problem with paying taxes, particularly to make education, child care (day care, sick kid day care, etc), health care better, and, jesus fucking christ, what is the relevance of where the damn kid was born? I have not noticed that foreign-born, american-raised children are brattier or anything. Nice of you to import all of those things into my relatively simple "I hate bratty kids" argument. If there were more and better child care options, fewer parents would be forced to bring their kids to, e.g., the DMV with them, a situation which is pretty much always going to result in a total meltdown.
