Just catching up with the story about the family kicked off an airplace because the 3-year-old was having a meltdown. Let’s ask Kid You Not’s favorite parenting expert, Dr. John Rosemond, what he thinks.
Q. Dr. Rosemond, the incident where the family was tossed off an airplane because their 3 year old wouldn’t settle down seems to have polarized the parental community. Most blame the parents. Others say don’t judge them. What do you think?
A. What do I think? Take a $#@$*&@ guess what I think! If I was the air marshal on this flight, I would have pistol whipped and zip-cuffed that little terrorist. Children’s emotions need to be beaten down until they sit and stare blankly until they’re told to clean the bathrooms and go to bed at 5:30 p.m. Parents need to be in firm control at all times. The second these little devils sense a moment of weakness, they swoop in like turkey buzzards and start pecking at your entrails.
I would do what your grandmother would have done: Stare her straight in the eye and say: "Honey, if you don’t shut the $%^&# up, we’re going to let the hairy spiders that live under your bed eat you."
