I remember hearing about a woman with a bratty two-year-old

[Jackpine Radical]

who, when she went out shopping with the little monster, would carry along a cushion. When the little turd would start screaming and flinging himself on the floor, she would quickly deploy the cushion under him so he wouldn't hurt his precious little self.

1. Pincushions might work. With LOTS of pins.

2. i dont know the story but this little bit.... that mom did what she felt was needed.

none of us know how she used this method and what it had the opportunity to teach a little two yr old.

but.... if we as dems have the attitude of what is in your post, with the snark of bratty.... TWO fuckin' YRS OLD.

well then. not something to puff chest out about

3. There's nothing wrong with preventing a child from injuring himself ...

... so long as you're not pandering to the desires that actually lead to the tantrum.

Two-year-olds will outgrow this phase, I only wish the same could be said about Republicans.

4. One of my cousins used to hold her breath when she didn't get her way.

It scared her parents, but my grandfather let her pass out and hit the floor one time. It cured that shit.

5. Yup.

Let 'em throw a tantrum, and hurt themselves.

7. My daughter tried something like that when she was 2.

She threw herself on the floor at the Mall because I told her "No." about something or other. I walked away from her. When she saw that her hissyfit wasn't working she got up, took my hand and never tried that sort of thing again.

8. That's exactly what I did.

Worked like a charm, and no tantrums after that.

9. Exactly the same thing with my son. One

time and he never did it again.
