Lol... "alligator tears". Brother (?) has a decidedly different view of sis than this video portrays.

Sorry, my children, but this is a dictatorship, not a negotiation. You don't get to decide how Mommy and Daddy discipline you. If you don't like how it makes you feel, do as you're told.

My sister was a master at the crocodile tears as a kid, so I know how that brother feels lol.

That's roughly what I tell my children. I would still give a sad child a cuddle, and I don't think this guy did too badly.

Ha! My daughter is a master too. People must think I'm the meanest father in the world when I tell an apparently heartbroken child to put away the tears, or to just suck it up! The first time my Mum saw it, the child immediately grinned and skipped off after being told stop it... Mum's jaw nearly hit the floor, she had been completely fooled.

She's just being a baby. A big fucking baby!

The dad feels bad for punishing the child and weakly asks her to reaffirm her love for him, and the child senses his weakness and withholds her love as a bargaining tactic..this kind of parenting is why you see situations where children are yelling at their parents in the supermarket and the parent tries to hush them up with a candy bar.

Without the parents presenting a unified and unwavering front on discipline and authority in the home, the children quickly learn how to manipulate them and play the parents off of one another. They become little napoleons who know all they have to do is throw a fit to get their way. The home environment where the child is exalted and the discipline is weak and the authority compromised is a breeding ground for the dysfunctional, me-centric culture we see today.

Kill it with fire!

In seriousness though, I think he was just playing into her bullshit for the amusement of the oncoming Youtube post.

No, you can't have a kiss because Daddy isn't listening.
