caraigThings Jon Learned Today:
It is only through facing the instant and immediate consequences of their actions that people learn that they cannot do just anything they want, to whomever they want, whenever they want.
If your child's "entire Christmas is ruined" because $TOY does not work as soon as they open the box, then might I respectfully suggest that you have greater issues at stake than throwing a tantrum at random retail people in order to get a replacement $TOY.
If you must take some sort of medications for a known medical condition, either psychological or physiological, [edit: in order to keep you sane and safe in common society] then take the gorramn meds before a court orders you to take them and you have a dozen guys in red shirts who want to kick your teeth in as soon as look at you.
