And in the meantime everyone ELSE has to put up with your child being a brat?

You disgust me.

You're one of the people that lets their children run rampant over everyone else,
letting them "learn", and then "discuss" it with them afterwards.  People like you
should be locked up and your kids taken away from them.  Subjecting the rest of the
world to your pie-in-the-sky child rearing techniques whether we want to hear them
or not (and letting your child run rampant with no regard for how other people are
being affected by it IS forcing your techniques on us) is completely disgusting and
irresponsible.

You obviously don't give a damn about anyone else but yourself and your children.



On the other hand, standing by while a child commits a wrong action is a
fantastic way for the parent to tell that child that his/her actions aren't
sufficiently important for the parent to intervene or take notice.

I didn't want to just snip this away and be acusable of ignoring it, but I
really need to hear what "wrong" means.

I can see why you're asking, you don't seem to have any clue whatsoever about right
and wrong.  Subjecting others to the bad behavior of your children merely for your
experimentation in child rearing is WRONG.  You obviously don't see it that way.
