Are you a crybaby?

I am reminded of cry babies just now when I am reminded of how much the child next door seems to be crying all the time. I don't really know what's up with that. I don't see any one hurting that poor child, but it seems he/she is just a crybaby. Therefore, I would like to ask you guys, where you a crybaby when you were young? As far as I could recall, I wasn't a crybaby. I was just a shy one, a silent one who keeps to myself. There weren't any crybabies in our home because we lived in a compound of my grandmother and there were a lot of cousins all around and we had many nannies as well. So the kids were taken cared of, and we were always playing. Hmm... But I did have a cousin who would always run to mommy when he was last in our game. hehee.. Were you a crybaby?

I was a crybaby when I was a kid, the main reasons why I cry are frustrations, anger, vexation, and homesick. When I was a kid, we often spend the summer at my grandma's house far away from my house where my parents are. I used to cry everyday and every night because I miss my parents so much. And whenever I play with other kids, and I get angry, I cry. That was when I was a kid. But now, it's been a long time since the last time I cried.

My mom says I rarely cried or drooled and was like a zen baby very quiet and layed back.

What do you think made you that way? Any idea what your mom did to you to keep you quiet?

There is nothing more irritating than a child or baby that is constantly whining for no apparent reason. You'd think that if you created a cry baby, which by the way I believe they are created, you would have the decency not to make the public suffer. It stinks when you're in a store trying to shop and there is a parent with a child taking a tantrum or crying. If my kids pulled that I took them immediately to the car, spanked them, brought them home to bed. I hate it when the parent says "Im ignoring you..." Unfortunately everyone else is not. Great topic.

Oh I tell you I like your style! It takes a real mom to spank their kids when they're out of discipline. I know, it's really annoying if the parent acts as if nothing is happening and the child is crying it's tonsils out!

I was not a crybaby, not that I can ever recall. We do have a girl that has a baby downstairs that stays below my neighbor's that live in front of me. And her little baby is always crying when he is in the apartment. Even when they come back home. It has been like this since they moved here. I don't know what is wrong with him but he is s very fussy baby.

No I was absolutely not a crybaby! I very seldom cried and that is still true today. I feel things deeply but I will only cry once in a while. I agree with you that some people just seems to cry more than others. Maybe it is a physical thing like they have more tear-ducts in their eyes or something. Some people even cry when they laugh.

baby cry all the time can be ignoring after sometimes, but really what they are doing is seeking for attension. Sometimes if their parents have been busy all they all or doing something else ignore their presence kids will make some movements to seek for their attension, but if they keep on ignore they will start crying to get what they want.

LoL. I don't remember being a crybaby as far as I can when I was little. What I'm sure of is that, now I am a cry baby! BUT I hate it when people (in general) would see me crying. I cry but no one knows about it. And if someone has to know about it, I only let a few trusted people to come near me to talk about it and let them see me cry. Even movies can get me to cry, especially if I can relate to the story well as if I'm looking at myself in the character's position.
