Peck, I see where you're coming from. I really do. But I can attest to the fruitlessness of arguing with a 2-year-old. You gotta pick your battles, and if shredding paper occupies the little shite while the grown folks are eating...frick it. I say, let him shred. Now, if he were throwing knives or something...that's different. Don't judge too harshly.
You're more in tune with parenthood than most adolescent-minded kids in here. Most here have ZERO clue on childhood development, especially considering they are envisioning a 4+ year old....it's a 2 year old toddler.

I will raise my son the way I want. You should have said something to me at the dinner table pussy.

Jesus Christ. They are raising a spoiled brat. They will regret it shortly enough probably around the time he stops getting invited to other kids birthday parties.

He's not wrong, geez. You think 2 year olds are clueless? They know damn well plenty of things they aren't supposed to do. They know hot and cold, they know how to throw a tantrum when they don't get what they want, etc. You are acting like a 2 year old is a 10 month old.
Sure you lose plenty of battles and not everything gets through, but they know dang well how they are supposed to behave they just don't always have the capacity to behave well for long periods.
I love the whole, "you're not a parent so how could you know about child behavior or how to parent" line.
Because having children makes one an expert on parenting. There must not be any bad parents out there. My badPosted on 12/14/17 at 10:49 am to baldona

Exactly.
I can see letting him tear up a napkin to appease him. It is a small deal, but the overarching we don't tell him no....that's a problem.
And I have a two year old. He generally knows some boundaries and what to do and not do. You know because well tell him no. Sometimes he gets pissed and we just let him be upset about it but then we put fricking paw patrol on and he forgets all about what he was crying about.

I know a couple who takes to extreme.
They are homeschooling. No limits.
I suspect the adults are not able to handle discipline, strong men.

So a 2 year old was acting like a 2 year old? Imagine that. You gotta let kids be kids man.
You on the other hand need to act like an adult and just ignore the little bastard.

I get that, but the scene I'm envisioning is one where there some paper in front of him and he's not losing it. It's called enjoying dinner, collect the bits of paper at the end, and move along.
and, regardless of the facial expressions and tone, the child may not be on an even keel at that moment and is regulating by tearing the napkins.

Why does everyone think every woman wants a kid?
Posted on 12/14/17 at 10:54 am to Pecker
Disciplining a 2 year old is hard because their understanding and attention span is limited. You kind of just have to let them cry it out when they can't get their way, but this of course can make it difficult to go anywhere.

parent needs to move with the quickness and get kid out of there
these idiot parents need to learn that the world does not revolve around them. public shaming of them needs to happen with the quickness

for tearing up a paper napkin? It's not like they were at some high end establishment....sounds like they may have been at a casual family restaurant with paper napkins...maybe the restaurant should have had a piece of paper and colors for the kid

I'm impressed, I have a 10 year old and a 3 year old, and it's the most used word in my vocabulary....DAAAAD....'NO!"

Apparently, Peck is developmentally delayed as well.
I only read his dog threads, usually...and this one reminds me why.

My brother does this with his kid. He gets "good boy points" for doing good things like making his bed, doing laundry, or finding a job. He's actually gotten a lot better under this system. They used to have to go in his room all the time and take his piss bottles out but now he mostly uses the toilet to earn good boy points. When he accrues enough good boy points he can buy things with them which he usually spends on his favorite meal, chicken tenders, or "tendies" as he calls them
They're hoping for him to start college next fall. He's 29
