Mike O'Brian found it a little crazy that even Carla Rea could remember that she did it as a small child. On the other hand, Mike can't even remember what he had for lunch yesterday.
Then there's Morty...who said he had one bad experience and that was it! Never again!
Should Mom Worry Kid Is Still Sucking Her Thumb
Keep in mind that the little girl we're talking about is only 3 years old and even the grandmother is not happy. So, what should the mom do? Should she even be worried about it? According to an article put out by Stanford Medicine, most kids kick the habit by the age of 5.
That's when The M&C Morning Show threw out the question, how do you get a kid to stop?
Not sure if those that texted in thought the mom was worried for nothing, but they sure had some interesting ways to stop the habit. From band aides to putting tabasco sauce on fingers! We were like, what the heck?
If anything, this topic was very educational and eye opening! We found out things we would have never guessed were available to help kids through this phase.
One woman talked about her son going to the dentist. Trying to figure out how to stop him from this habit, the doctor inserted "SPIKES" into his mouth! Everyone on the show was like "WHAT?"
Oh, if you have young kids and you're dealing with this right now...you have to listen. Please take a couple of minutes, listen to the segment from this morning.
Heck, if you have any other advice, feel free to let us know. Clearly we've all gone through this at one time or another. Call us anytime at 702-739-9636!
Here’s How You Know If You’re The ‘Favorite Child’
Were you the "favorite child" in your family? It's been said the most parents absolutely have a favorite child, but most *smart* parents won't just tell you who that child is.
It could be the oldest, it could be the youngest - it probably isn't the middle child, though. KIDDING! Well - now there's supposedly a sneaky new way to get it out of your parents.
Over the past few months, there's been a silly trend on TikTok (what - a silly trend on TikTok??), where kids log out of Netflix, and then they ask their parents for the password. If one of the kids' names is in the password, they're determined to be the "password child," and their parents' secret FAVORITE child!
There were some funny responses online: One person said, "I'm an only child and I'm not even the password child." Another said, "My sister is the password child, but I'M the one who they come to when THEY forget the password." And in the words of another: "Nothing hurts worse than getting replaced as password child by the dog.” Ouch!
Here's the video that started it all.
Others said that they're the password child for one of their parents but not the other. And one person joked about their family being thrown into chaos when the password was: "TheAdopted1." Ahh - you have to love parents with a sense of humor!
Now, if your parents' password ISN'T a child's name, and is 47 random characters, you won't know who their favorite child is. And you'll become the least favorite child for logging them out, because now they have to reset their password, and they can't remember their username either. But on the plus side, your parents are far less likely to lose your inheritance by being hacked, that's for sure!
On the flip side of it all, here's how you know you are NOT the favorite child in the family...
