'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham's parenting style: Cave to tantrums

It seems that Sophia is the Queen Bee that rules the roost in the Farrah Abraham household. On Jan. 16 Wetpaint shares a post that "Teen Mom" Farrah shared on her Sulia account that recounts a temper tantrum that Sophia threw over wanting a band-aid.

It seems that Farrah's parenting style is to cave into her daughter's wishes instead of holding her ground no matter how trivial the issue. In the Sulia post, Farrah says that Sophia kept going on about a boo-boo on her arm that wasn't there. She kept lying and saying that it hurt and was bleeding. Finally, Farrah found a package of bandages and gave her a small handful to silence her.

Not only is this bad parenting, but Farrah is sending the message that lying is okay to get what you want, and that throwing a fit will get it even faster. It seems like Farrah might benefit from parenting classes in dealing with toddler tantrums. Fans have seen on the show Sophia acting out and there was only one episode that many can remember in which Sophia didn't get what she wanted, and Daniel was the one that put Sophia in her room.

If Farrah continues down this path of caving to Sophia's demands, she will be a spoiled brat soon enough if she isn't already. What do you think of Farrah Abraham's parenting skills?
