I didn't put a single word in your mouth-You said and I quote, "The Healthy Start lady who goes over child development explains that temper tantrums are normal and teaches self control and good discipline." not out of context or anything. This debate could go on forever-but some people think children are perfect and they have a god given right to have children. Well don't step on my rights-just keep your child as far away from me as possible and I won't make any rude comments about the child and you don't make any about someone who prefers the company of animals and adults!!Enough said. Enjoy your child as much as possible!
