[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 14486, member: 831"] Well, I have two things were just STUPID. The first one was not said directly do me, but something I saw on a child development show. Anyone remember Penelope Leach? She had a show on Lifetime when Daughter was a baby. There was a question from the audience about getting a child to be more cooperative when putting them in a carseat or having them put on their seatbelts. Well, Daughter, as a toddler was HORRIBLE when having to be put in a car seat. She would beat on my head, and pull my hair, while I would fasten her in. So, I really listened and paid attention. Dr. Leach's suggestion was to inform your child that "this car in not moving until you are in your carseat, or buckle your seatbelt". In short, a parent is not to leave, or start the car, until the child willingly submits, or puts on the seatbelt. So, here I am in front of the drug store after picking up some of Daughter's chemo medications. Daughter is nearly two and she flat refuses to get in her car seat. I'm calmly telling her that we can't leave, or go anywhere until she sits in her carseat (I know, I know, but I was still under the illusion that I had a regular child). Fast forward to an hour later. Still refusing to get in the car seat. Sorry, we can't leave then, honey. Well, guess what??? SHE DOESN'T FLIPPING CARE! Big suprise, huh? Needless to say, I'm standing there feeling like a complete dolt. So, I take a big breath and strap her screaming, kicking, and hair pulling, body in. I pull out of the parking lot and it hits me, what if I had an important appointment? This is beyond idiotic! The next day, when I tell my Mom about what happened, she brought me back down to earth by responding, "Well, honey, something like that would probably work really well if you were going to Disneyland". [img]:rofl:[/img] Then there was a time about a year ago when I took Son to a therapist who was convinced that Son was AS. When I told her about son being so crazy about babies, she felt it was an "obsession" and that I shouldn't feed the obsession by purchasing him a baby doll (it was something he wanted because he wanted a "baby" of his own).
