My teeth hurt!
There is a new Duracell battery commercial that just chaps my ass to no end and grinds my jaws.
A young kid is screaming his head off when his remote control race car stops working. Frowning mommy replaces the batteries in the remote, gives it to the kid, and the kid smiles.
F-NO!. I would stomp all over the car and the remote them hand the broken pieces to the kid and tell him that next time rather than screaming he should use his words and ask nicely for help. Then swat him on the rump, march him to a remote corner to hold the walls together with their nose until I got tired.
I have seen that commercial a few times the past couple of days. It grinds my gears every time I see it.
I think I have issues.

Rags... I cut the cord years
Rags... I cut the cord years ago.. I do have netflix and Amazon Prime.. but even then.. the shows or movies I feel inclined to watch are few and far between.. It seems that too many parents are coming from a place of weakness.. anything to not make the child unhappy.. even my little brother did that when his kid was young.. the kid didn't like riding in the car.. I would have invested in earpllugs.. and the kid would have gotten over it.. haha.
Similar commercial with a
Similar commercial with a teenage girl and her dad about the internet. Not appealing at all.
Parents now let there kids
Fester in front of there iPads. At home. Thinking what a good kid I have. He never in trouble, he just watching porn quietly. what a goof kid. Because he's glue to his iPad, gaming, system, phone, television, [ they still have them ? ]. I don't have to drive them anywhere. Or actually spend time with them. Parenting is as easy as sending a text.
And we wounded why we are all in trouble. With on line school, the kid doesn't have ever to leave the home.
SO. RAGS take a chill pill.... We need those remote controls. or life will end over battery's
'Good luck. we need to laugh. It's better then crying.

There is a new Duracell
whose Disneyland parent is this?

Society is making it so the kids call the shots. It is sickening.

My discipline would have likely been to tell the kid that toy is going away for X days until their behavior improved etc
The commercial you described would have annoyed me too. The parent that runs to appease the kid that is throwing a tantrum...
That parenting makes things way worse in the long run. That's always how I viewed it. I remember thinking to myself that parenting my way felt hard... Disciplining the kids but somehow I knew that the effort would be worth
I feel like my husband was that Duracell parent with his kids. I remember him saying something like that once where we were talking about a kid having a tantrum and he said he would have just given into the tantrum and gave the kid the lollipop
I feel like that is part of the reason step parents end up in such a bind is that they aren't there from the beginning to see how these parents acted. They start dating the person not knowing any of this.. Assuming they are an ok parent and the wool is pulled over their eyes but slowly revealing what a $hitty parent they are
Whereas if they had the kid together maybe the one parent would have stepped in more often
