Why do kids whine?

January 25, 2011

Why do kids whine? Editor’s note: The question had to be to be asked at least twice, because I’ve asked it at least a hundred times since I’ve had kids. One’s off at college now, but two are just about teenagers, and they’re still whining!!! I only have girls. Correct me if I’m wrong, but [...]
