I think parents now a day of completely unnecessary shit. I do what I think my son needs. I assume y'all do too. I won't shut the fuck you @PeanutButterFox. I stand by my statements. I don't know every child's situation. But I do know that I've dealt with crazy ass kids and never once had to use a harness. If you do, whatever. All of you judge, no matter what you say. No one is 100% accepting of everything. So everyone quit acting like your so damn open minded and accepting. It's fucking bullshit. Be honest.
Well since one person's anecdotal evidence is apparently sufficent to protest harnesses, my mom used a harness on me and I turned out to be an independent and fully functioning adult. Imagine that.
Also, my kid can climb out of his crib now. Can you suggest how I make him stay in? Just tell him he better not try it again? Cuz, I tried that and it didn't work. Help me make my child behave.

Have you tried tying his leash to the crib?
I thought about that but, ya know, I think he might get uncomfortable sleeping. Should I zip tie a baby gate to the top of the crib? Then it would have a cool lid like an aquarium.
I tried to get DD to act right by threatening her with time out. She said, and I quote "I want time out, mommy!"
Any advice to get her to act right, because that backfired a smidge.
DD does this when I tell her she will get a time out and she doesn't want to do whatever I asked. Lately it has been leaving the house in the morning. I tell her she will get a time out if she doesn't walk to the car like a big girl. "I want a time out mommy"

damn it.
When they say something like that, the time out becomes more for me than them. Sit over there and be quiet for a minute or mommy is going to explode.

The lady that I use to nanny for had this! The kids were so smart, they learned how to unzip it from the inside so they safety pinned the outside on the zipper to keep it closed at night.
Stuck in box
Well fuck that then. DS can already unzip shit. This kis is a reincarnation of Houdini.
I want to raise him to be independent. Sorry if I didn't clarify that. I made a statement of how I felt about it. My parents never used harnesses, and we were fine. Because my parents could control us or they wouldn't take us out. We behaved and stayed with them, or we didnt get to go places. I don't see what's so wrong with making your kids act right.
Im emotional damaged because my mother used a stroller. I couldn't understand why if she claimed to love me so, she was constantly pushing me away from her. Also, I have commitment issues and feel smothered in all my relationships because she was constantly holding my hand when we didn't have the stroller. That bitch ruined my life!
Isn't it about time for someone else to pop on and say what they used to judge (or what they do judge if they fail at reading) without reading any of the thread?

You could nail a screen door down on top. That would help you test this theory.
Re: I used to judge ___, but now I don't.
asssphincter says what?
It took one experience in JFK airport with my 2 year old darter to realize that harnesses can be amazing and some serious peace of mind.
I used to judge formula feeders, but then I actually had a child and got a clue.

I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
