You know, that's an idea there.... they already make a line of novelty pacifiers where the babies have teeth and shit. Maybe you can design a line of "baby comic" relevant pacis? You could make a killing, CJ.
Those are probably the same parents who will be their kid's bitch in a few years. The type you see in the grocery store where the kid tells the parents what it wants, and the parents fail to say no.
Well, the only friend with a kid that I actually interact with only has a 1 year old. But there was a little bit of disciplining when she tried playing with an outlet.
but this seems to be a newish trend- kids being babied past the time when they are actually babies.
Which fits in well with the trend of adults acting like children far past the time when they are actual children. It's the first step towards our inevitable future as pod people slaves.
...are you trying to tell me I have to start paying attention to due dates on bills and actually BUYING toilet paper instead of stealing it from bar bathrooms and out from under friend's sinks? LALALAAAA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU SALAH LALALALA!
As the mother of a former thumbsucker and a current trying-not-to-be-a-thumbsucker-anymore, what I don't understand is how these suckmonsters HAVEN'T FOUND THEIR OWN DAMN THUMBS. I mean, the whole point of a pacifier is to soothe a baby too young to get his/her thumb in her mouth and self-comfort. (Watching a baby find its thumb for the first time is one of the most hilarious/heartbreaking moments in parenting.) Why a kid with a thumb would want a gross piece of plastic is beyond me.
A kid with a thumb in his mouth is also WAY CUTER than a stupid paci. I'm pretty sure once I found my thumb (9 months) I never used one again.
For me, quitting my thumb was harder than quitting anything else. I mean, it's RIGHT THERE, on your hand! Cigarettes can be thrown away, same for candy. Finally, my gramma made like an oven mit thing out of the same material as my security blanket and I'd put it on my hand before I went to sleep so I couldn't suck in my sleep. But still. I didn't do sleepovers for years because of it.
