My freaking niece. I love her with all my heart but almost every time I tell that little demon to avoid doing something, she daringly look at me with an evil grin and do it just meer moments after. She thinks everything is a game and my sanity is just another toy.
How about letting her hurt herself (slightly)? If she’s old enough to understand you, she’s old enough to learn that people who tell her not to do something mean well.
Little shits under 5 are preprogrammed to fucking try to kill themselves at post haste it fucking seems. That’s why I support using those damn leashes for your suicidal toddler.
How the fuck did humans become the apex species when their young is hell bent into rushing into a sabertooths mouth?
Humans are also the ones publicly shaming parents for not removing their toddlers from sabertooths’ mouths.
