Hahaha my nephew did the going stiff from about 7 months to 2 1/2. Complete fight to get a nappy on him as he became stiff as a log. But then he'd scarper off. He once rolled away, got onto all fours and pissed all over my parents floor. I was trying to get him out of a snowsuit in Lapland when he went stiff and I could not for the life of me get his arm out of his suit. Couldn't put him in the highchair because he went stiff, or his pram. He's 3 1/2 now and has suddenly got so grown up! Takes himself up to the loo, puts his seat on the loo and his step by the toilet. Runs round the room telling everyone excitedly he's about to have fish fingers.
Hinch is going to be in for a huge shock when the real tantrums start. All I saw yesterday was him being frustrated as his parents were hovering over him again. He's being wrapped in cotton wool and not allowed to explore anything. And that's without the fact they're spoiling him rotten. Great you can afford it, but that doesn't mean you should. Children need to learn that they have to work and not everything will be handed to them on a plate.
I know we want to protect children, but it is also the job of a parent to raise their kids to be well rounded individuals who can cope with life. You can't just run to mummy when you're 35. I see him and just think of my cousin's. They're in their 20s and still attached to their mum's tit. Whereas I've run my own house and business for 10 years. I'm still close to my parents, but in a normal way, not a babying way. I thank God they brought me up to cope with life and all it throws at you. It's not a bed of roses, but we grow from everything we go through.
