Lately I've noticed here and there people either talking about "disciplining" their 7,8,9 ish month old or even doing it. One online mama says she's tired of saying "no!" and taking things away from her 7 month old. A woman I know got mad at her 9 month old yesterday for taking another baby's toy. I read a little article online about how 8 month olds aren't TRYING to break the rules or be disobedient, they just can't remember when you've said "no".
Ummm......
What's up with that???!!!
I actually don't understand how someone feels the need to discipline a baby. For goodness sakes! If my 7 month old gets into something he should 't I take it away, give him something else and improve my baby-proofing! I certainly don't feel the need to tell him "no" or bother getting mad at him. Yeesh! And I am no saint. I seriously lack in the patience department. But getting mad at a baby? That just seems absolutely ridiculous to me.
Ok. Rant over.
