One of my twin DDS cried every day over something or other until she was seven, at least. Her twin, only when life was hard, but not every day. Probably every other day. My youngest hardly cried at all after age 2 because she had the attention of her older sisters.

I understand that it is annoying to an outsider. I don't doubt that some kids who cry all the time are due to parenting but not always. I'm always open for suggestions but not in a way that insinuates that I do nothing or that I am a pushover. My MIL does that saying that my daughter doesn't whine at her house because she doesn't allow it in the first place. EYE ROLL. When my kid is over her house it is for a few hours and she has the complete attention of two grandparents and can decide everything from what she will eat to what they will do. Nine times out of ten when I pick her up she is zoned out on the tablet watching YouTube (kiddie crack) which we minimize in our house. So DUH, why would she be whining there?
You would think that my MIL would understand that sometimes kids are just who they are considering she raised my hard headed, stubborn ass husband who was born a handful. Funny how the years color your parental memories.

I can only say that I just got off a cruise ... One of the families had 5 kids who were obviously the priority in their parents lives (good) and who were expected to be the priority in everyone else's lives ( not so good ) the 2-3!year old cries loudly and constantly while the others run through crowds of adults ... Pushing them aside.

I don't remember - I seem to have mentally blocked out that time period.... (I did not do screaming/crying children well)
