How to Deal With Crybabies

This article offers different methods for dealing with crybabies - both at home, and at the workplace. Please keep in mind though - that a crybaby is not the same as a crying baby. A crybaby is someone older than 25.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pacifier
• Blankey
• Box of Tissues
• Baby Doll
• Sharp Pencil

1. Pretend like you are listening carefully to the crybaby. Don't really listen - because they are just being a baby and what they are saying is stupid. When they pause - say things like - Oh my goodness, My heavens, That's terrible, or I understand how you feel. This way, they really think you share their pain.

2. When they are done Boo-hooing, tell them you are going to 'do your best' to resolve this so they don't have to deal with whatever they were crying about.

3. Disappear for about 25 minutes so the crybaby thinks you are working on a resolution. Get back to them and say - I have done everything I can, but this is the way it has to be. Pretend like you are on their side and blame the fact that you can't change things on everyone else.

4. Some crybabies just don't stop. This is where you may want to take a different approach and offer up a 'tissue for their issue' or possibly a pacifier to jam in their mouth or down their throat.
