Default 2.5 y.o. refuses to brush his teeth...


My 2.5 y.o. son completely and totally lost ANY interest in brushing his teeth.

We never pushed him, but every morning I’d brush my teeth in his presence and would offer him and his younger sister toothbrushes as well. He used to chew on it a bit, but would never let us brush his teeth. I thought that was ok, at least he was getting this habit to do it every morning and that he’ll get better at brushing as he grows older. But for the past few days he refused his toothbrush at all. He has a toothbrush for kids and also a booth brush that looks exactly like mine (in case he want the ‘real deal’). I don’t know what else to do…

His sister is still pretty enthusiastic as far as chewing on the toothbrush.

See what happens with uncircumsized kids?

You let them keep their foreskin, and all in a sudden they think they are entitled to get their way on everything.

I knew you'd feel like a total idiot and want to delete things, so I quoted you.
