I can hear my niece crying outside, I am guessing she wants something but her parents won't give it to her. I know there are parents who would give in to what their kids want most of the times to spare them from seeing them cry or get cranky while other parents would not allow them for fear of getting their kids spoiled.

I am not a parent yet so I don't know how will I react when if I will have my own kid but judging with how my sis in law treats it, there are times that they give in especially if it allowable but most of the times, I can hear my SIL nagging. There is also some instances that she can hit them because she told me so that they will learn. Hmmm..

What about you what do you do when your kids get cranky about something?
