So to make sense of this...When you're cooking a soup or a stew you add a potato to it if it's too salty because it will absorb extra salt.So today my 3yo is just whining and complaining about everything. From his lunch to having to clean the floor to the show his brother wanted to watch.So I told him that he needs to stop being so salty...And then it clicked. My sarcastic dad-brain...I found the biggest potato we had and told him that he needs to hold onto this until he changes his attitude. He's too salty and when he's calm and ready to say nice things he can put down the potato and join us again.And I'll be...it worked. He thought it was so silly and his mood changed. At first he was confused and wanted to put it down, but I told him that he will absolutely under no circumstances out the potato down until he's in a better mood to compose himself.Parenting. Making shit up and hoping our children can contribute to society and don't grow up to be assholes. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2qMSPjh
