      And I just. Like. If you're not going to actively teach & remind your kid that some behaviour is hurtful, how the fuck will they know?

      Toddlers have brains like sieves. I have to remind mine all the time how to tell which shoe goes on which foot (the fish go on the outside).

      Because toddlers, even if you've told them something 900 times, will frequently still need a reminder. It's a learning process.

      And it drives me nuts how often my trying to actively teach my kid politeness, manners and boundaries is seen as weird or unnecessary.

      The worst time was this: he and another boy were smashing cars together; my son got carried away & whacked him. So I called out, etc.

      The other kid was clearly upset, but his mother was annoyed at him for not shrugging it off. Told him it was barely a hit, it didn't matter.

      I don't know remember if it was her or her partner who told him that boys were tough, to man up about it; only that it made me feel sick.

      This kid was FOUR, tops. And he was being told to accept being hit by a bigger, stronger kid as an okay thing, the right way to be a boy.

      People see me hovering over my tall, strong kid and they think it's ridiculous, because they think, "Oh, but he can take care of himself!"

      Motherfucker, I KNOW he can take care of himself. I'm trying to teach him how to use that strength RESPONSIBLY, so he doesn't hurt YOUR kid.

      And the fact that so many people *do not get this* - that they expect some Natural Child Order to just sort it all out - really upsets me.

          This thread has kind of gotten away from me a bit - I have a lot of Feelings about this, obviously - but I'm going to try & tie it together.

          1) Babies aren't babies forever. 2) Children at different ages need different things. 3) Kids don't learn manners in a fucking vacuum.

          it upsets me to. I'm a totally average adult but was a quick-learning and thoughtful child and I remember being hurt and angry

          that adults never tried to get other kids to stop hurting me. I remember being 6 and just thinking that adults sucked.
