I was in Blockbuster last night trying to rent a few Wii games.<br><br>
Two men were in there with one baby boy. About 11-14 months I think. His Dad was holding him.<br><br>
He was whining the whole time. Just a quiet whimpering whine, not a lound pulling on dad's arm whine.<br><br>
The other man said "Is he always like this?"<br><br>
Dad said "His mom is making him a wuss. She caters to every single sound he makes. Ive about had it".<br><br>
(I kinda gasped when he said "wuss")<br><br>
Dad said "You don't like wuss?"<br><br>
Me: "Well not really. He's going to understand that soon."<br><br>
Dad: "No he won't I'm going to toughen him up before he's old enough to understand it."<br><br>
Then he held the boy up over his head a little and looked at him in the eye with a fake "evil eye" and said..<br><br>
"Dad doesn't want a wussy boy does he?" <--the baby liked this, and he started laughing.<br><br>
Is this a typical attitude? Is it only an attitude we have for boys? Is it just "tough guys" who want a tough kid?
