Ok....so I never learned this and I think that's why I posted this thread, although lacking in focus. I actually would get reprimanded for crying...by my mother. She said it wouldn't get me anywhere in life. Not a lot of emotions were displayed in the ZS household.
Emotions happen...people cry...others comfort. When someone lets it happen multiple times and they get their way as a result, one starts to think it's manipulation.
I don't feel I should be called a heartless bitch for not coddling. It's possible I should be called a heartless bitch for the mean things I say about Eden.
