If the mom was a liberal pol she would have said “Wait until your dads get home” or “I should have aborted you just like your other six brothers and sisters”

It’s time to treat Obozo like the mother handled her toddler.

If Trump wins the Republican nomination, this could be a headline for a news report about a Trump vs Clinton debate.

There is a mom who had decided that while she will let her children be children, she isn’t raising children... she is raising full functioning adults.

Timely post. I just finished a comparable chapter on dealing with tantrum adults in the must-read book “The Gift Of Fear”.

I quit reading when the stupid author said the woman was infested withcjildren Yes, that is a sad choice of a word. Try "blessed." But this is consistent with today's contraceptive country with 1.7 children and 4 times as many pets as kids. On the other extreme, I have a energetic working 63 year old Costa Rican neighbor, whose kids work as well, who is the youngest of 18 kids by one mom, who herself was one of 24 children, all from one (very busy) mom. And most all of whom he said lived to about 90 years old! Glory to God.

To: Nifster
Yes, I didn’t much care for that comparison, as I had 3 boys in 4 years and at times it was very trying. I never felt “infested”.
To: daniel1212
Yes a poor choice. I think the tone of the article was admiring, and I think the choice of “infesting” was intended more to convey that this woman was dealing with extenuating circumstance that maybe the author or someone else would consider extreme, but one with she handled rather routinely.

If the mom was a liberal pol she would have said "Wait until your dads get home"... If she was a lib, Dad wouldn't be anywhere to be found.
I got that used on me a couple times growing up. Of course, back then that really meant something. Usually involving a belt and an excruciatingly long lecture. ;-)

To: Nifster
She was infested with small children. I couldn't help but stare... Aside from a few odd images, the one was being a lousy kid (actually normal at three).

Or the reverse wording - SHE threw a tantrum, HE ignored her.
I cannot foresee any circumstance where Trump’s temper outshines Hillary’s.
