Listen, Linda! Listen! Toddler Negotiations Over a Cupcake

[Book of Jeremiah]

This toddler is trying to negotiate his way out of a spanking after taking a cupcake when he was told not to. His reasoning? He's at Grandma's house! Listen, Linda, Listen! He says....... why is this toddler calling his mother Linda? Is this a new trend in parenting? It's new to me! New to you?
What do you think?

 

[miketx]

Whip his ass.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

He's got a future as a negotiator but he definitely doesn't need to be negotiating with his mother! I'm amazed at him telling his mother, Listen, Linda!

 

[beagle9]

Whip his ass.

. To cute a response for that.. He smarted his way out of that one, but he needs to be taught in an academic way, along with a smart punishment way, that lying is big time wrong, and cookies even though tempting will leave you out of a much wanted present at the next Birthday party ???

. Can't blame him... That's liberal teaching for ya.

 

[The Professor]

He'd better bulk up as he gets older. With that attitude he's cruisin' for a bruisin' and he needs to learn how to defend himself. If you look up the word "obnoxious" in a dictionary you will find his picture. If he has so little respect for adults now, when he gets older he will be uncontrollable. If he were my son as soon as he was old enough to join the military I'd sent his arrogant, argumentative, disrespectful ass to Parris Island. I can see him spitting out his teeth after telling his drill instructor, “Listen, honey, just listen, listen, listen.”

He is a little asshole; kinda cute in some mysterious way but an asshole nonetheless. His most likely future: prison, mental institution or drug-dependent, welfare dependent ward of the state. It's not all gloom and gloom. He might have a very successful career as a liberal politician.

His mother is an enabling idiot.

Pow pow! Stand in corner, 5 minutes.

Hah! She even said powpow!

. Uh, you are talking about a small child here.. A year from now, he might become the best little feller you could imagine. You're sort of jumping the gun here, and you sound like these parents that think if a little 4 year old boy helps his sister cook something in the easy bake oven, then what next (run him down for and evaluation, and start hormone therapy immediately).. ???????????

What I see is a problem that needs correcting. I have never heard a child talk to his parents like that and there is a reason: the child's behavior is abnormal. The sooner his behavior is corrected, the better for everyone - including the child - and you should know that. I am not jumping the gun. If you wait until he is older, do you think his conduct will improve without some type of intervention or correction? I don't. Without proper guidance little assholes grow up to be big assholes.

My child would never talk to me like that. Period. Your child obviously could talk to you like that and get away with it. That is a fundamental difference between us.

You have the last word. I am done with you and all those who find the conduct of the child acceptable and unworthy of criticism and immediate correction.

Edited to add: The child obviously did not get this way overnight. His insolent disrespect developed over a period of time because the parents condoned and therefore encouraged this behavior.

. Again, consider the age of the child... You're right though, there must be some lib parent behind the bullcrap, because the child didn't get that way over night, but you would go after the child in the case instead of the parent ?? I put my hope in the child that he is already learning how to resist his liberal upbringing. Ever think about it that way ?

I'm amazed that at 3 years old he is so argumentative with his own mother and calling her Linda and Honey! I'm wondering if perhaps he is mimicking his father? He had to have learned this from somewhere.....

No question this is his standard way of communication which needs to be nipped in the bud. He is a darling child but he has to learn that when he mother says no it means no.

He definitely didn't get this way overnight. I'm glad to hear you say that you never saw a 3 yr. old do this before because it is a first for me too.

The liberal comment was spot on. He and his mother were invited on the Ellen Degeneres show because of his behavior.

This could potentially turn into a nightmare. Hopefully the mother will wake up.
Ellen is stuck in Liberal lala land. She gave the woman a $10,000.00 check and a week end spa voucher and the boy got what looks like a rolling monument of him surrounded by superhero figures and cupcakes. Not kidding.

Smart three year old

He will make a fine lawyer

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

You'll learn in the Ellen Degeneres video that 3 yr old Linda only calls his mother Linda, Honey and Babe when he is in negotiation mode. The rest of the time he calls her mommy. Mateo and Linda were invited onto the wrong show. Dr. Phil would have been a better choice.

What leads you to think that? He calls his father Kenneth! What? Did they find him on the side of the road or something? This is their child!

Why do you want to beat a 3 year old?
Just because he is smarter than you are and you can't win a simple argument?
