3 Stupid Questions Adoptive Dads Get Asked

Jesus Christ this YouTube video is a fucking traffic jam.

It doesn't even address parenting techniques it just goes on and on. I saw somewhere about "measuring your child's mood" though I really didn't even do that because the video is so shitty.

Measuring my child's mood? Stand next to a television and act astonished according to this video.

I have an adopted child, not really sure why I should state this as this seems like some shitty "dad" video, but nonetheless. My adopted son acts up, I just walk over and pick him up and move him to the farthest possible point in my home.

It's absolutely amazing the number of people who dont realize this. My son starts going for the cords to my tv, well then I'm not going to yell at him. I'm going to pick him up and put him in the kitchen. Try again? You go in the pack and play.

I just had a shitty night of hand off with my wife while she tried to feed him. I'm the stay at home dad to my adopted child, so I hope this helps you. My son was constantly crying to my wife and throwing food on the ground. When my wife comes home it's my break time, but this night I was having it. My son threw his fork on the floor. I then got up, walked to my son and put him in the kitchen. He got upset and went back to mom who put him back in the high chair. When he got there, he threw his plate on the floor. I got up and put up him in his pack and play for about 5 minutes.

When I got him out I put him on the floor next to his pack and play and let him stand. He then went over to his high chair and wanted back up. I put him back in and and my wife and him enjoyed a peaceful meal.

The thing about being a parent I never understand when people complain is to have a zero tolerance policy. Do NOT argue with a child. Do not let them act up. Don't be a fucking dick and yell at them, just make whatever they are doing complicated.
