Were you a difficult child?

Hahaha, my mum is lucky because I am not like that! When I was a baby, I hardly cry...even the neighbours wondering since when my mum got a baby girl. When I am a toddler, I will play with my brother and anything can be fun even jumping on mattress that was put to 'sun' outside the house. The funny part is 'working' to me is 'play'. There is one occasion that I can remembered, when my mum go to work, I cried and want to follow. She was a rubber tapper. So, she said there are plenty of mosquitoes in the rubber estate, at times have snake too, and if I follow I have to scrap and collect harden rubber latex from the bowl, it was very smelly. Surprisingly I enjoyed the task very much.....it is fun to me to do it once in awhile but not as a job which you have to do it daily whether you like it or not... So, all in all, I think I am an 'average and nice' child!

Hi, gracefuldove. I don't think I was ever a difficult child. I was quiet, shy and well-behaved, I guess. I did not throw tantrums too. Looking back, I think I could not see the point then of making a mess of myself just to get something and get punished afterwards anyway Being the only daughter as well as the youngest in the family, I get my way often without being naughty. I guess you could say I do not try pushing my luck in that aspect. Take care!

i think my bro and i were angels compared to some you hear about. i didn't get in trouble at school, bro got suspened first week back when he was in 8th grade for hitting another kid that was annoying them. i've got to watch my son now, he's getting worse on acting like a brat. he chucks a tantrums when he can't have the cartoons on the tv, even thou he's got his own tv and dvd player in another room. helps if his father would help me on the issue at times.

No, I was a pretty good kid according to my parents. My younger brother was difficult, followed by my even more difficult younger sister, followed by my well behaved and charming baby sister. My parents didn't let us run their lives. If we dared to have a tantrum in public we not only got our butts smacked right there but we were also punished when we got home. One of my grandmothers was a sucker for a big smile and a pitiful "pleeeeease" whenever she took us to a toy store...but thinking back, she took us there in the first place to buy us something so we probably didn't have to turn on the charm for her anyway.

I was a pretty good kid, but very independent and strong-willed. I didn't really throw tantrums or try to get my parents to buy me things, but I definitely had strong opinions on matters like what I was going to wear. I was an only child and I was pretty able to entertain myself for long time periods so I wasn't that needy, as children go. Overall I don't think my parents had too many complaints.

I didn't cry or throw tantrums much when I was a kid, but I did fake being sick a lot to stay home from school. I would take advantage of the fact that my Dad would be at work, and my Mom would be in a hurry to leave for work, so I would act like I couldn't get out of bed. My Mom would only have 5-10 minutes before she had to leave, so if I could fake it convincingly for 10 minutes, I was home free. Now, I feel bad because she was trying hard to get me to do well, but I would relentlessly fight to stay home. I hated school with a passion. Haha, sorry Mom!

My parents told me that I was a very obedient child and it was not hard to take care of me at all. But when I was a teenager, things sort of took a reversal and I was quite notorious, LoL. But luckily I've managed to come to senses and I'm more grounded now..

My mom told me that i was not a difficult child to handle while i was a little.The only difficult time for her to handle me is when she will be leaving to go to work.I will cry and and never stop only when i felt asleep.If she was with me than i will be okay.When i start my own family someday i would like to have not a difficult child to handle.It can cause stress i guess hehe.

I was the difficult one - always challenging things - talking back - etc. I really regret it. I am glad I got to apologize and ask forgiveness before my mom passed away. She was truly proud of the person I became and for that I am thankful!

Ya , i was a very good child not like others who will create a drama when they will not get anything but my elder brther he was so naughty not willing to go to school every time playing and blah blah . I used to be very good , listen to whatever my parents say and not going against them or insisting for ice cream or anything.

As far as i know im not a difficult child nor have temper tantrums when i cant get what I want. I am a god child who always obey my parents because Im afraid of them terribly.

No, I do not think I was a difficult child (but I wouldn't own up anyway). My mother tells everyone who would listen that I was very well-behaved when I wa young (and I tell her, I am until now). I never threw tantrums in public or in the house, kept my room clean and obeyed my parents without hesitation. I was a very responsible eldest daughter. Until I woke up.

i was a very calm and introverted child... so that's a no. although i think my parents had a hard time calling me from my books to eat and say my pray, even to get to sleep. haha. but compared to what i might have been doing, i think the problems i put them through were minimal. at least i hope so. lol. much love.

Maybe a bit. I tried to not be a utter brat.. sort'a, but some things were pretty hard to avoid. I guess I threw my tantrums, was a bit unbearable at school now and then, but otherwise.

when i was somewhere between 2 to 3 years old...but i guess after that I was a very goooood girl and my mom had always been proud of me.

hi gracefuldove, no. my parents never had any problem with me during my childhood. they always make me as the role model of my cousins. i am in the honor roll, active in extra curricular activities, involve in church and community activities and a great sister to my siblings and cousins. no doubt i am a social worker--by profession. i love social service, being and working with people. how i was raised by my parents is what i am applying mow with my 2 kids. thanks mom and dad for your "discipline with love style of parenting". i made it!

Hi gracefuldove, I was much too scared to play such tricks when I was young. But now I am making sure my father realizes what I could have been, and what he escaped when he was young. . Well, now - occassionally, I do throw tantrums, but for different reasons. Like if he wishes somebody else happy new year before me. Oh no! he has had it. I dont like it at all. . Then he buys me a lot of things to pacify me. I kind of like that though. :-)

hi there! looking back, yes i was! bully to my cousins. used to throw stuff too. of course those were 19 forgotten. am still bullying my cousins but ina good way. we love to tease each other. ü

Yes. My mom told me I was really a hard headed kid during my childhood years. I easily went into tantrums especially when I didn't get what I wanted. I cried so loud and screams while I laid down on the floor. It was a very embarrassing childhood experience. But I was only a child then. Thank God I have good parents and they never left me for that.

I was not so much difficult as I was emotional. I was a lot of work and had a lot of emotional problems that my parents were very kind and friendly with. I never ever threw tantrums in stores. I grew up in a military family and let me tell you on a military base if you throw a tantrum your father could get in trouble. I've seen a lot of kids in stores have these kinds of out burst and its jsut appauling. I can't believe it half the time. Not to mention the amount of parents who just look the other way or give their kids whatever they want in return for them to sit down and shut up. Its sick.
