If I sound like a dick, I apologize. This is truly meant to help you.
You ever see the family in a store. The toddler is throwing a fit, and the parents just try to sooth the child. "Sorry. Ok. I will by you the doll. What ever it takes"
That kid will always be a brat.
Why?
Because it works. Very simple.
You have said in so many words. "W. Do whatever you want. I will always be there for you regardless."
