Do your kids do it?

Please tell me I'm not the only mother that wants to throttle her 2 year old when she starts with the long and high-pitched mouse-like sounds? I want to tear my hair out and pluck my own eyeballs out with a rusty tweezers!!

Surely, it is not just me that wants to just jump off the face of the earth when that fretful habitually complaining starts? It infects me as insidiously as does cancer or any other terrible disease.

I have theorized that there's a recessive gene that seems to be present in about 99 percent of young children : The Whining gene. If only DNA or some other scientific phenomenon could account for why so many of our kids resort to whining when they want something.
