It's jus...Um, I don't think I called it a tantrum. It's just that tantrums have started too (though not today, yet) so I made a general observation about them while I was talking about what did happen, which was clearly rebellion. I know my child. He looked around after the warning, made sure I was watching, and then acted out. That's pretty rebellious, and he could control it. Being sick doesn't make him stupid - just clingy and whiney. But touching the carbon monoxide detector is never allowed, sick or not. He got away with the nightlight and the remote because a) he didn't get a sufficient warning and b) he was sick and I gave him some leeway. I shouldn't have given him leeway, though, because he went for something more dangerous!Giftie Etceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353862141419399333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-84369725976584258732007-06-14T10:50:00.000-05:002007-06-14T10:50:00.000-05:00I agree with Stacie.

Yes, cuddling time with mommy and daddy is okay, but to misbehave because he's sick is still not acceptable. <BR/><BR/>Oh, MIL time.... fun, fun!!Froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815575147390841235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-69917649529211961742007-06-14T09:14:00.000-05:002007-06-14T09:14:00.000-05:00NO, they don't. And don't let him think that just ...NO, they don't. <BR/><BR/>And don't let him think that just because he's sick he's able to do all the things that normally he's not supposed to (extra cuddle time with mom and dad doesn't count--and he's been in his nighttime routine long enough not to regress b/c you let him in the bed one night). If you start this montra now, he'll be having tummy aches everyday there's a big test at school ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-36865577439851497532007-06-14T09:09:00.000-05:002007-06-14T09:09:00.000-05:00tantrums and rebellion? i don't know if i would ev...tantrums and rebellion? i don't know if i would even call that trantrum and rebellion. <BR/><BR/>sick, miserable child who cannot control himself? definitely. <BR/>you can (and should) have different rules when you are sick. sick kids can have fries and cookies for dinner and to sleep with mommy and daddy.<BR/><BR/>hope he feels better before MIL gets here.<BR/><BR/>so far tantrums have not gotten less annoying and/or embarassing for me.Mamaebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784534602249266789noreply@blogger.com
