Mad at Dad: Are You Angry with Your Spouse?

To be honest, for the parents who are truly spoiling their children by letting them have bad behavior this article is not harsh enough. We have two family members who give their kids everything they want, we go out to eat they get ice cream first because they want it, they go to the bathroom twenty times in an hour and a half and their parents don't ever get to finish their meal. One time one of the children got mad and scratched my nephews face and when her father picked her up and told her no she leaned over her fathers arms, checked her aim and kicked her mother square in the face. They took her in the bathroom to "talk to her" and brought her back to the table with the excuse that she hadn't napped and they couldn't find a sitter. She repeated that scratching tantrum three times, she ruined a very fine meal and they could only blame themselves for her not taking a nap. Now they eat what they want one child is 6 and 150 lbs. and the 4 year old is malnourished because she doesn't eat meat, cheese, fruit etc. (She doesn't like the consistency) If the child does something bad they beg the child to be good and then give in every time and usually reward them, they need to know how wrong this is!
