I’m joining in with everyone else. At that age, kids are learning how to socialize. We actively try to teach them that if they say please, they are more likely to get what they ask for, and after a few times of saying please and getting what they what, they keep doing it.

If you say no, and they cry, and they get what they want, then they just discovered a new social skill.

People typically associate children with innocence. Not me. They know exactly what they’re doing, even if they don’t understand why. Those little shits are manipulative as fuck.
