200 IQ child thief

The problem with parenting advice is every kid is different. This becomes clear after raised a gaggle of them. Anyone with one child that is giving advice is clueless.
My suggestion is not to give that type of child options. Tell them what's happening. Then do it. May that not work any better and ignores why you may have started giving them choices.
You didn't specify an age but typically choices are best for later development. Toddlers are terrorists and one should never negotiate with a terrorist.
Yep. My Wife and I raised 4 Daughters. Each one was their own type of terror and mayhem and need to be handled differently. No toddler needs to have a choice in anything. Their minds aren't ready for that. But by the time they hit 4 or 5, they can handle limited choices pretty well. And they only get better after that.

I mean, the dick punch was really unnecessary but I am glad that other families experience... Weirdness, I guess. And exclusion of a parent.
I can't count how often I read and heard the advice to "just present your kid with two options to choose from".
My kid, even before she became verbal, always wanted option C when presented with two options.
"Do you want this hat or this cap?" "Neither"
"Do you want this blue pants or these red sweatpants?" "I want... a green... dress" we don't even have a green dress.
"Shall we go to the zoo today or do you want to go to the playground with Anna?" "I want to go on the trampoline" .
Bonus points for finally settling for one of the options, only to throw a tantrum afterwards, that the other option was the preferred one.

And that everyone's too damn poor. Babysitter? Not on average wages! No one wants to give up all of their time and money for kids they might not be able to provide for.
Being poor has very little to with having children. The poor across the world have more children than the wealthy.

My son(11) will say, "you can't do that, I'll call the police and they will arrest you". I say, great maybe I'll get some peace and quiet. He doesn't know I won't, so it works. Lol.
My 4yo always threatens "I won't invite you to my birthday party!" I always respond with "Yes, thank you, please don't." Which is confusing, because apparently it is the go-to threat in daycare to force ohther children to do something
. Then I am immediately invited again. -
That assumes no immigration
So the poor others should do the breeding while the wealthy limit their offspring to preserve more wealth for themselves?

Luckily my first has 11 years on her brother and helps out a lot with him
Starting all over with child proofing and sleepless nights after 11 years... wow. Seriously, respect for pulling it off.

Well most of times you can differentiate frustration screaming and fear/danger screaming on toddlers
Tbh, definitely not with all kids. You have to specifically train them to not use "emergency" screams when they are frustrated.

I am cracking up at this. Please save this comment word-for-word in a journal or something. Because when he's older and truly appreciates all you've done for him you're going to find it even funnier than I did to remind him of this!

yes, that is the only reason for or class of people who ever immigrate, you have figured out what no one else ever has or could.

I'm optimistic! My parents weren't perfect, but I absolutely appreciate everything they did now, and have told them so.

That doesn't change the motivations of millions of people in the world. You know, the kind of numbers that can produce a massive dip in data...

As long as the US keeps voting for fascist morons, that assumption is correct and safe.

Can relate

Same for kids and pets... They're not really strong, it's just that:
-
You're trying not to hurt them or yourself, they don't really care. This really levels the playing field.
-
You're trying to accomplish a goal, they're trying to do anything but that.this gives them a huge advantage.
Don't forget leverage. Shorter limbs get more "strength" from their muscles.

When I was a kid we used to just get thrown outside along with all the other kids and told not to come back until lunch time.
We used to get up to all sorts no one cared. At one point someone's dad took us all to the beach which was about an hour away, we all just got in this strangers car (never met him before) and went to the beach. I don't remember my parents been even remotely bothered by that when they found out.
There definitely was a "they are replaceable" attitude back then. Now try to imagine the generations before us, when 13 kids wasn't that abnormal. And that 13 only counted the ones that survived.

One of my worst fears as a single dad, though it's fairly uncommon here to randomly report people for kidnapping just because it's a dad with his own child. And my offspring adores me and will stop crying almost immediately when picked up so that might help people understand I'm not a baby thief lol

To respond to your firat paragraph: This episode of Bluey helped me understand as a first time parent. Though this is less about personality and more about development. The mom with 9 or whatever kids really puts things into perspective.
It's funny because my own kid is literally Bluey. Super quick to do everything else, refuses to walk.
Your second and third paragraph: thank you for the advice, I'm anticipating that mine will become a terrorist. Already has learned to cry when told no, despite the fact that we've never caved in to it.
