I'm terrified of needles as well, even though I have piercings and tattoos. I understand that people respond to fear differently and that it's a child, but that isn't what my point was. My point was referring to the mother saying, "Kicking worked on the last man!" That to me, sounds like she is condoning that behavior or even encouraging it. So again, why would you insult and assault someone that is going to be poking you with a needle. If you have to get a shot or blood drawn regardless, I wouldn't be making them upset so they might be inclined to make it more miserable for you. not to mention, they are just doing their job. I could be misunderstanding this, but that's how I took this.

It's called not letting your fears get the best of you. I like tattoos, so I got some despite being afraid of needles. I get necessary shots despite being afraid of needles.

I totally understand that. I was simply explaining why I get tattoos despite being afraid of needles. Do any of you understand context? Do you only see one comment and choose to comment, or do you read all the comments and just choose to ignore them all except for one? I've explained my comment. I'm not going to keep repeating myself for those of you too lazy to read.
