Although I hadn't realized it was "Attachment Parenting" at the time, my ex SIL and Bil, who had five kids, practiced this bullshit. It was a complete pain in the ass to be around them because of it and all of the fucking nonsense like asking a toddler's permission to put his ass in a car seat, "Gabriel, is it okay if daddy straps you in now?", or allowing a 5 y/o to make his own lunch choices while AT a busy lunch counter line and everyone is WAITING while this crap goes on: "Zachariah, do you want the chicken nuggets like at McDonalds, the little hot dogs on a stick like at the fair, the baby hamburgers like at Krystal, or the ham sandwich with the crust cut off like at Gram Gram's?. Do you want pink milk, Juicy-Juice with a straw, a bottle of water, or do you just want to drink some of mommy's lemonade from your cup? Do you want the curly wurly fries, the little tater wedges, or the big boy baked potato like daddy gets?", FFS JUST ORDER ALREADY AND MOVE THE FUCK OUT THE WAY!

The last time I saw this attachment parent shit I was in Target. A kid (maybe 4) was standing up in the seat part of the shopping cart and could have gotten hurt. Instead of saying, "SIT DOWN RIGHT NOW," duhdee was saying, "Now Caitlyn, you really need to sit down, ok? Because you could get hurt and mommy and daddy would be so sad." Why would you have to explain and rationalize to a four year old???

"Gentle discipline" "Attachment parenting" is fucking bull shit!!! In 2006, I had a roommate who had a six year old little girl, I'll call her Psycho Brat. Moo believed in "gentle discipline". If Pycho Brat wanted to watch something on TV, but it wasn't her turn, (yes, moo thought I was taking turns with a 6 year old. She was surprised when that didn't work) Psycho Brat would stand in front of the TV and scream until she got what she wanted. Moo gave in, but I never did. Moo actually thought Psycho Brat was "expressing herself" when she did this. NO, it wasn't "expressing feelings", it was throwing a tantrum, and for some reason that shit was tolerated. This is one of many reasons that mess was reported to CPS. I've seen attachment parenting in action, and I don't want to deal with these brats when they're old enough to have jobs.

I had the exact opposite upbringing - where my parents did all of my "choosing" for me up until my early 20's until I married and left my fambaweird. My mother was very strict - did not like my choice of anything, even something simple like bedroom curtains. Yep she needed to control me, perhaps because she felt she made the mistake of allowing Dad too much freedom and not controlling him. So with that sort of background, no, I do not want nor need children in my life.
