Salaam,
Dear Sister Jabba after you become a mother you will change your opinion a wee bit...chidren have a mind of their own...you can not reason with a 2 year old.
Acutally, the child was bright.. 3 words is very good for a 19 month old.
And mothers do loses our senses when someone tells us what to do with our children..
Lately I have noticed that passengers on planes are very selfish. The world was not going to end because a child was stuck on a phrase...zone him out and concentrate on important matters. If you can not ignore a child..the adult needs to work on patience.
Sister, there are times when I ignore the noise level in my house...otherwise I would not be able to get anything done.
Imagine, I can get all the attention I never thought I could get by saying something and everyone is looking at me...yes, I will keep the same behavior.
