Don't forget the highly effective stiff as a board back arch to avoid being latched in. My 2 year old lovable hellion is an expert at that manuever. I of course have mastered the collar bone nerve pincher manuever in response. However, when he is determined....he can even resist that which then calls for at most two sharp slaps on the thigh which will result in howling and the very hurt feelings look directed my way (which hurts me too btw....just like I was told once). After a few minutes of squalling, he will be back to his usual self of singing or looking at semi trucks in awe or repeatedly staccato requesting his pacie or sippy cup....meanwhile his mother and I will be un-nerved for a far longer period and wonder if we did the right thing. I have another manchild due in 6 weeks....pray for my sanity please...lol....sort of. Baby girls are way way easier.(I had two)...but then then teen years and blossoming comes along and you worry yourself silly over all that encompasses. Being a parent isn't for sissies. I will examine this woman's actions further on TV for a better look. According to many FReepers, my PC doesn't do it justice.
Oh I know THAT move well ! My middle son had that one perfected, which he could quickly alternate with the wet-noodle draining through your arms trick. He also howled like an ambulance during these gymnastics :) He did occasionally get a swat or two in the middle of such a virtuoso performance.
The good news is that he is now 18 and is a fine young man, a real "gentleman" and a pleasure. So don't worry, a swat on the leg isn't gonna' warp your son forever.
Most parent's know the difference between a well-deserved swat and an unprovoked beating...this video is the latter (even if the punches didn't connect)
