I rarely join Forums - I'm more of a lurker, but after reading this thread I felt I did have something to say. I am amazed at the remarks concerning Jen and her parenting style. Ironically it always seems that those without children are the experts. Will is acting like a typical 3 year old. He wanted cake. In his little mind that settles the matter. Jen didn't have cake. She stated it (also, praising him for doing such a good job eating his dinner). When he didn't get it - he fussed. It wasn't even a "melt-down". Believe me, if you had children you'd know that this was no tantrum. Jen realized that after explaining it to him that it would simply increase his frustration. She left him safely seated and ignored his whiny behaviour. This was the perfectly correct thing to do. He quickly got over his snit - because that is what 3 year olds do. He is not in danger of becoming a spoiled brat (not that it's any of our business, whether they are on tv or not). He is not in danger of over or under-eating or eating the wrong things. Jen and Bill are intelligent, educated people. They will not feed them a diet of macaroni and cheese, nor will they deny them a treat. Like all older siblings when they are greeted with a new child, Will regressed somewhat. Considering his little life up to this point I'd say he's doing amazingly well. He isn't traumatized, he's not being ignored and Zoey is not being favoured over him. They are simply being a young family - who have learned as all new parents do - "don't sweat the small stuff". I am amazed that Jen is so involved during such a hard time in her life. I wouldn't blame her if she took to her bed and let Bill and the nanny handle things while she is sick - but she doesn't. She carries on in a way I know I couldn't. To "snark" just for the sake of being "snarky" really doesn't accomplish very much.
