I disagree whole-heartedly with you! Her child gas too much control as is. Too much talk, too little action. I agree that kids are smart, but her kid is smart enough to know that she is in control at that house. I love Leah, but she needs to realize that she isn't giving her child happiness in the long run by giving in, just the simple satisfaction of "winning" again with her mom. She asked the lady who was helping if she wanted to come live at her house. Well, I would take up that challenge for a few days to help her family out. BTW, I don't want you to think that I am without my own "credentials" if you will. I have three children of my own, ages 6, 4, and 9 months, and yes, I AM one of those people who have the bottle gone by their 1st b-day. I also get rid of the sippy by 2. I have done it with day care kids too, so I actually have experience with it as far as older kids who weren't weaned earlier. I would LOVE to take a few days and shake a bit of sense into the household. I know they are smart, but in the words of Dr. Phil, they need a wake-up call!!!!! You can't succed when failure is sitting on the nightstand!
AnywAY! Thus is me!!!
