    My son fought me getting in the high chair in a restaurant yesterday. Wife had to hold him while I held his legs straight to get in. I feel that

      How TF are they so strong!? I also noticed a difference in physical strength between boys and girls - while expected I did not anticipate it being so much different. I really have to use a muscle on my son sometimes and he’s not even 2 yo.

        Same for kids and pets… They’re not really strong, it’s just that:

        1. You’re trying not to hurt them or yourself, they don’t really care. This really levels the playing field.

        2. You’re trying to accomplish a goal, they’re trying to do anything but that.this gives them a huge advantage.

          You’re right on with pets, had a lil’ doggo that did NOT want his medicine, lil’ pooch would eat around it in his food, squirm in six dimensions if you tried to force him, and yes one time he even used teeth!
          Needless to say I was, in fact, not using teeth.

          Our current doggo tho, eats her food with or without medicine. One time we forgot to give her her pill when she was on medication for something, I just told her it was a biscuit and she ate it, no questions asked. This is a blessing.
