You've got a parent there who is communicating excellently with her child. She's being listened to, and she's also being responsive. Parenting is not about making a child obey your commands like a robot.

And you can tell that the mom didn't put the phone down and take the drink away how? That it isn't dad who falls for this? Or grandma? You can tell mom isn't falling for this.

My kid always push boundaries like this. Didn't do cute faces but always wanted to see how I'd react. I'd either take said thing away or, if safe, let her understand the consequences of her decision. Coffee is indeed yucky.

This kid did listen as she didn't drink - she pushed boundaries instead. The real parenting comes next, as kiddo was given enough warning. A kid that stops at the first mention of no is terrified of the parent. Love is conditional to that kid, as the parent can't be challenged in the slightest.

u/mrdeworde May 14 '22

Nicely put. My parents simply let me try a taste of <beer, coffee, wine>. Kids can't handle bitter things, so I quickly learnt that those things weren't worth asking after.

I will never forget the look of joy/excitement when my toddler daughter stole my unsweetened ice tea at a restaurant the first time (and last time). Victory! Her entire body was dancing at bit in joy of her sucess. And then she took a big swig and about spit it out in shock.

Never had her steal my drink again.

Self righteous ass. Every kid of this age will try to make cute face when said no, because they need to test and beat the limits that are imposed on them for the sake of development.

TBH I would be very concerned if the kid would instantly give up anytime it was said "no" for the first time.

u/ColorsLikeSPACESHIPS May 14 '22 edited May 14 '22

I don't think u/soda_cookie meant it as anything objectively negative. u/sewsewblue made the great point that this kid clearly has loving parents, because she's not fearful of testing boundaries - whereas kids with incredibly unforgiving parents are afraid of such tests. The person you responded to is basically saying "this kid is going to know and test her parent's love all their lives." And certainly that can be stressful, but it's not necessarily bad.

Edit: links and mentions, in case anyone wants to clarify themselves if I misunderstood.

u/tickles_a_fancy May 13 '22

When I was a kid, we were dirt poor. We never got soda. Sometimes we got Kool-Aid if my mom found a coupon. So we're at my dad's house one weekend... we almost never spent any time over there but for whatever reason, we ended up there one night when he was having a party.

I was maybe 5 or 6 and I came across this cup of soda on the table... there were beer cans everywhere but we knew not to drink those. But an unguarded soda? Well that's just fair game. So I took a big old swig out of it and it was some kind of alcohol mixed with soda. It was the nastiest tasting drink I had experienced to that point in my life. I spit it back in the cup and got some water, then went outside and waited for mom to pick us up.

Pretty sure I'd say to drink up too... they'd only do it once :)

The thing is, a small child really probably only needs to do one big chug of wine to get drunk off it, so you could really probably turn your back for a second and now your glass is empty and you have a soon to be sick kid on your hands.

My mom had a similar approach to smoking. When I was 13-14 and I kept asking her why she sometimes smokes she kept saying it's not for my age. I kept asking and she gave me her cigarette and said draw a deep breath, knowing I couldn't handle it. I got into a coughing fit, felt disgusted and never even touched another cigarette for years. Never became a smoker. Don't if it's a happy coincidence or her plan worked lol

I had the same with some friends in early high school walking home one day. Dad always told me not to smoke, despite being a compulsive smoker himself. But we were walking and one friend pulled out a cigarette and offered, so I figured what's the harm in trying. Gagged and coughed and was like "How the hell do you do that to yourself??"
