Yeah but how can we get mad about how dumb the "other" is if we actually listen to what they're saying?

Though she does say that you should ask, just that not to expect the baby to respond. I think that's a little silly as well. I get what she is saying and I do believe that you should let your kids know that their response matters and not the "be seen, not heard" mentality of every other generation, but there is a time and place for that and it's certainly not non-verbal infants. That's still crazy in my opinion. 2 year olds are going to ask "why?, why? why?" over and over again regardless.

Also, what do you do if they say no? Let them run around with shit in their diaper? I guess that's what you do, but that's also disgusting.

u/kathartik Oct 17 '18

not at all. you just freaked out and assumed that the article posted was DURR LOOK WHAT THIS WOMAN SAID, when that isn't what it said at all.

and I'm not entirely convinced you understand what projecting means, because I did read the article, and it's clear you didn't.
