And the kid could have just been a brat and used everything in his arsenal to get his way. But, the mom should have had a plan and stuck with it--negotiating with him at that point was useless. And that's why the tantrum lasted as long as it did--she just wasn't strong and firm enough with him. I DEFINITELY believe that the more high school kids can be exposed to these sorts of things, the less likely they are to do something stupid and have kids too early. But then again, hormones aren't usually compatible with common sense thinking. :)<br /><br />After I finish Pillars I will have to seriously think about the sequel to it, World Without End. It takes place two hundred years after Pillars ends--and it is another monster-sized book. I think it will take me some time to commit to that size book again. :)cmkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984250869194585666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146226.post-91386270293051700382010-09-25T10:00:27.845-04:002010-09-25T10:00:27.845-04:00Maybe that time of night was the only time the mom...Maybe that time of night was the only time the mom could go shopping, and she couldn't leave the kid home alone. I wonder if the kid really was hungry or if he was just saying that. I'd like to know how the tantrum ended...if it ended at all. They should show videos of public tantrums in health class in school, maybe that would help with unplanned pregnancies. Of course, everyone thinks "my kid won't be like that". <br /><br />My friend tried to get me to read "Pillars" and after almost a year, I finally did. I was put off by its length, but you're right, it reads quickly, and it was one of those books that I hated to have end, I wanted it to go on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146226.post-15321087225899317772010-09-24T16:24:02.921-04:002010-09-24T16:24:02.921-04:00I REALLY hate to bash moms who are having a bad ti...I REALLY hate to bash moms who are having a bad time with their kids--heaven knows, I had enough problems with mine--but there just are certain things you DON'T do. We had to quit going to every restaurant with our oldest--even McDonald's--cause we didn't want other people to be bothered by our kid. It just is COMMON SENSE to do/not do some things. >:(<br /><br />leazwell: Yes, I'm reading Pillars. I have THREE books going right now, so I find myself trying to get one of the others out of the way before going back to it. I bought Pillars for my NOOK after watching the mini-series on TV--and if I would have seen the hard-copy version of it first, I don't know if I WOULD have gotten it: the damn thing is LONG! ;) It is a very fast read, however, and I am enjoying the book more than the movie--even if they did do an excellent job of translating it to film.cmkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984250869194585666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146226.post-25340928027437190872010-09-24T10:19:30.465-04:002010-09-24T10:19:30.465-04:00I see you are reading "Pillars..." me to...I see you are reading "Pillars..." me too - just started it.
