The Pit Parenting Thread

You have two options.

Option 1- The old way where you teach him to fight and survive
Option 2- The millennial way where even though they are a baby you baby them, probably call all parties involved, write up an online complaint, write about it to some mommy blog, go an observe daycare for the day etc...

I am TOTALLY starting a mommy blog about this. I wasn't there when it happened, obviously, but I did have to sign an incidence report.
 
Rambo is fucking biting every kid in sight now so that's awesome. We sign incident reports on the reg.
 
I'm just assuming all 2/3 year old boys are huge assholes. Ours sure is. He turns 4 in a couple weeks though, so I'm hoping he'll soon become more tight butthole. I love him, but he does totally suck like 60% of the time.
 
My five year old used to be a biter in daycare. I once caught my wife crying in the back of the closet because W got another biting incident report. Now he is the sweetest kid but he was great white shark for about six months or so.

Yeah Rambo was real TBH until his second birthday. Been pretty loose since then. Needs to tighten back up. He's at that awful age where he wants to do everything himself but can't do hardly anything so he just gets pissed off. He also doesn't want to stop anything once he gets started. The other day I swear he drank from a water fountain for like 20 minutes straight and screamed at me for pulling him away. Of course he was soaking wet from all the misfire.
 
Yeah, our Boy annoys us in that he acts like he can't do certain shit, which I know he can do on his own. So, for example, he's playing with his trains, he tries to pull the train over a rug and it gets stuck, and rather than fix it himself, he just starts screaming and crying about how his train is stuck. When he's cool, he's super cool and we have a great time (night time with him right before bed when we're just chatting about whatever crazy shit is on his mind is probably the best time of my day), but when he sucks, oh man he sucks. He starts back at a new preschool next week and will be in with an older crowd (it's a Montessori preschool), so I'm really hoping it teaches him to be more self-sufficient and generally less whiny. Fingers crossed.
 
So the Bug is like 26.5 months and we are in no hurry to move from a crib to a toddler bed. She's never tried to climb out or anything. We're at the beach this week and she's been sleeping and napping in a pack n play. It's been fine all week, and I just put her down for a nap a short while ago. About 3 min later I hear her crying and go in...and she's standing on the ground next to the PNP asking to be put back in. Shit.

Well, I have a 6.5 year old stepson and he sucks shit a lot of the time, so I don't know man. He does this thing where he cries out "whaaaat?" when anything is said about the status quo changing. It's not a defiant "what," it's a whiney, incredulous, defeated "Whaaat?" like you or I would cry out when the receiver drops the ball in the end zone in the final seconds. But he does it for every fucking thing, unless it is exactly what he wants. Time to eat - "whaaat?" Help set the table - "whaaat?" Please carry the tiny take-out box with your half-eaten burger in it from the car into the house "Whaaaat?" Everything. Sometimes, if he really doesn't want to do something, he combines this "whaat" with vigorous eye-rubbing that not only looks like crying, but causes him to tear up. It drives me fucking crazy and we've gotten to the point where he is in trouble if we hear it.

As for the crying. He cries at the drop of a hat. I'm beside myself at that shit, I never did that. At his baseball practice the other day they were doing base-running relay races and he started crying because a kid on the opposing team for that drill was putting his foot out as if to trip guys as they ran by. No one was tripped, but my kid's team lost the drill and he fucking cried that that caused it. I was like dude, get back out there. That's sports, your opponent always going to try to get in your head to mess you up. He cried all the way home about that shit. I was talking to the mother of his friend on the bleachers during it and I asked her if her kid cried like that. She pointed out that the ones with older brothers stop crying around 2, but the ones with older sisters (like both of ours) cried like that until they were fucking 6 or 7. ugh he cried last night that his quesadilla wasn't big enough after he heard us mention it was from the appetizer section of the menu. then he didn't even finish it...
