"Children should be dragged kicking and screaming to school and the doctor's office and grandma's house and the park" is not and never will be a pro-child opinion.

If your kid doesn't want to go to school so much that they throw a temper tantrum and scream until they go hoarse, and your response is "shut up because you have to go" the problem is still you ignoring your kids needs and you're a shitty parent.

#I always remember a fight I got into on Reddit about this woman complaining that her kid hated broccoli #Because SHE had power and her 4 year old did not this meant that every meal had to feature broccoli #So literally every meal was a fight with her 4 year old and she called it a “power struggle”#Ma'am he's 4 #The complaint was he's manipulative and awful and bratty because when he started crying his dad would say he didn't have to eat the broccol #She literally described her own toddler as spoiled #Anyway we as the audience were supposed to side with her against her indulgent husband since she was a SAHM and knew everything #My comment was obviously stop trying to make him eat broccoli?#Her response was that children HAVE to eat vegetables and I wouldn't understand bc I didn't have children #If she didn't force feed her toddler vegetables the vegetable police would shoot her or something #When I said yes but there are dozens of types of vegetables why can't he eat a carrot?#I was informed that she controlled what he ate and he needed to eat what she fed him #Like the only person causing a fight is you #You are unhinged and that child should not be in your custody #But somehow I was crazy for saying that if your kid doesn't like something don't feed them it?#I was told children have to be force exposed to things they don't like especially if they don't like them #So they don't grow up to eat limited diets which is apparently more embarrassing than your kid crying so hard he throws up #And refusing to eat any food that you prepare #But I'm the crazy one!
