No, it is not one of my children throwing a temper tantrum. Well, not today, that is 😀
It was my reaction to a request from someone asking me to discipline a child for her. 😛
Why should I? Why should I be the bad guy? If the child were harming any of my children, I would go up to the child and remove the child from my child/ren’s presence. Or I would remove my child from harm’s way. I may even tell the child off, but discipline a child that is not mine? Sorry, no way.
If your child won’t listen to you, it is your problem. You can definitely ask me how I discipline my child and I would be more than happy to share what works and what doesn’t. But don’t expect me to discipline your child for you. Yes, even though we are related. I am not that child’s parent. Nor do I wish to be.
And please do not threaten to leave your child at my place to “learn”. My home is not a boot camp or a detention barrack. Yes, I am very firm and strict with my children. But it is not a torture chamber. Contrary to popular belief, we dso have lots of fun and love here. I do not like what you are implying when you say that.

I agree with you. Definitely not your job to discipline other’s people child.
Talking about protecting our child from harm, well tell u something. There was one time a boy walk (about 4 years old) towards my daughter (1 year old plus) and smack her on her face while she was sleeping. Gosh..I was shocked and do not know how to react at that point of time. 😐
