If you ask you have at least an even chance I will say yes & you'll get what you want." Then every time she whined I would point it out so she understood why I was saying no. It hurts, but I made myself be very consistent because whining drives me up the wall & I really wanted to break this habit. It worked - hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370625374094708767.post-53471113422452902752013-04-27T11:41:52.286-07:002013-04-27T11:41:52.286-07:00I think I'd be more of a sucker for a whining ...I think I'd be more of a sucker for a whining dog.

It is hard to ignore the whining, I've tried too, but not always successfully.

And I'm a sucker and fall for it every time. So I imagine that kids can read us even better than our four legged-companions and know that magic sound will get them whatever they want just to make it stop.Jocelyn Rishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141176507423961390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370625374094708767.post-43951188268662437382013-04-26T18:27:21.839-07:002013-04-26T18:27:21.839-07:00I remember when I was younger I whined because it ...I remember when I was younger I whined because it drove my mom crazy.

She giggled and laughed at grandma and popa sounding so funny asking for the salt and pepper and having dinner conversation while whining. I think she realized how annoying it was to hear and she cut down her whining a lot after that! Actually it was a lot of fun too!
