How narcissism starts

I called a mother the other day to come help me deal with her son who was pitching a fit for more than an hour. The teachers and I could not get the child to calm down. Since he was crying and snotting (not a pretty sight on an 8 year old), we could not understand what he was saying.

When the mother walked in, she cuddled and hugged him and interpreted his whining. It turns out, he wanted his money he forgot at home so he could go to the book fair.

So she rewarded his fit pitching abilities by taking him to the book fair.

Since she forgot her money at home, she asked if money could be borrowed from someone at school.

Lets sum this up. Your kid interrupts instruction in multiple classrooms by screaming and crying. Office staff and administration stop everything to help out in during this crisis which includes finding thrown eye glasses and dragging screaming child out from under a computer table. A teacher is pulled from her class to assist in interpretation attempts even though her second language skills were clearly not in the language of whining. Patience has been tried and drinks have been planned. And now you want someone to whip out their wallet to assist you in your sick game of rewarding bad behavior.

Just how big must the ovaries in this woman be but not likely I will ever know as I'm not an OB-Gyn?

This child will have many hard, hard lessons to learn later in life once he finds out the world, in fact, does not spin around him.
