Second born
In many mythological stories, God (or Devil) offers you eternal life or unimaginable wealth or some such bounty in exchange for your first-born child. I can never imagine exchanging my first-born for anything. There is nothing as valuable as her.
But, with the second-born…. he is just pushing me to the limit and testing my patience with all the “terrible two” tantrums. Nothing I do is good for him. I just can’t keep him happy. I am ready for negotiations to exchange this kid. And I don’t even want eternal life or unimaginable wealth. Something lesser would be fine, too. How about just take him and I’ll pay for transportation as well?
– It is not going to work. I am sure if anyone takes him, they’ll bring him right back.
OK! I am just kidding. Try to take him away from me, and I’ll rip your arms out.

Vinayak: That is not much of a bargain. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could just take them and return them to us after 2-3 years when they are of school-going age?
PF: Yes! That is the hope that keeps us fighting everyday. BTW, I have no idea who Andy and Red are.
Siddhi: That is no consolation. Just because there are other kids who trouble more than Adit, doesn’t make my situation any better.
I see your point, I’ve been there, and still there. No signs of improvement @ age 7.
At least your elder one is manageable
Read your tweet, I had to look up the word “demagogue”. It describes the current situation very well. Heard about the same on Radio today.
OK, am willing to spend time with him and give you guys a break! How about that for consolation?
BTW, have you seen super-nanny or something like that on TV? Many of my friends who babysit suggest that to the harassed parents
