You missed my point.
Regardless to whether her tantrum got the response she wanted or not (and obviously such a thing isn’t possible in this particular case) that’s a lesson that every decent parent owes to their child as early as possible; otherwise they will have unrealistic expectations about the way life actually works, and that’s just setting them up for a fall later on.
Um… I didn’t say or even imply that, so please refrain from putting word in my mouth, thanks.
What I said ver batim was that it was a wasted teachable moment, and IMO it was.
Then I added a personal anecdote about how I don’t tolerate tantrums as a parent; I nipped that shit in the bud the first time my kid tried it when she was about that age.
Unlike yourself, I didn’t make any arbitrary judgments about how others may choose to raise their offspring…
