There’s no question that children’s behavior can range from mildly annoying to mind-blowingly horrifying. They throw toys out the car window and refuse to nap and poop on the stairs and stomp on the baby’s head and steal candy from the drugstore and draw penises on the classroom wall and don’t even get me started on booze and drugs and sexting that punk with chin fuzz. Kids do idiotic, obnoxious stuff. That’s unlikely to change any time soon, so if your plan for keeping your cool depends on your child’s ability to do the same, that’s going to end poorly for everyone.
