Re: How do you keep your mouth shut?
I guess since it was 40 years ago.....I might not have said anything. Except maybe just saying that you want to keep her in your room even if it's hard.
I had this with my cousin at the last family gathering. She said something about her daughter being awake for her whole "nap time" and how she just stays in her little bed and reads a book (read between the lines ....child training!)
I was annoyed inside....I just said "Oh wow...she stays in there?" Then the cousin said yes....and I said ....." oh wow..and she doesn't even cry?"
cousin..."well she did at first"
And then I was just like "oh,ok" (I think they got the point that my interest was gone after they admitted that really she doesn't just stay in there but has been trained that she will be ignored if she cries)
