More dumb questions parents ask...

"Don't you think that you should share that with Susie?"

If Bratney thought that she should share, she would share. Sharing is something that one teaches children from early on. Children do not wake up thinking "Today, I think I'll share!"

"How many times do I have to tell you...?"

One should do it. But parents tell and tell and tell, and Rotney refuses to listen. Then the parents shrug their shoulders and say "I tried." Mule muffins! Dear parent, grow a spine. Don't pretend that you are telling your child anything. You're just making noise. You need to act. Tell once, at the most. Then act. Be the parent!
