I'm from the south and it is nothing wrong with the hot sauce to keep him from wanting the pacifier. It didn't hurt him and he doesn't want it anymore. It was something that as a child anyway he wouldn't need to use since it was spicy. And yes, she could have just taken it from him but I'm sure at this point he wants nothing to do with it vs. him asking for it later if she did just that it from him.

There was a big to-do about this method - Lisa Welchel (sp?) - aka Blair from Facts of Life - promoted this technique a few years ago on one of the morning talk shows.  I think she's Texan and I know she self-identifies as conservative Christian... I always associated hot saucing with those demographics as opposed to Britney's, but who knows?  Now I've heard of it twice!  Hah.  I'll never do it, but I'm a northern, earthy-crunchy, bleeding-heart liberal.    ;-)

horrid

More like an uneducated redneck. Twit.

This story as real Pam anderson's tits

Disgusting. There are better ways to parent. Only the lazy and borderline abusive would resort to something so nasty. Clearly, she's ill equipped to parent if she needs to use "old school" tactics like this. Poor kid.

Old school worked just fine for me and looking back my childhood was a very happy one. Get over yourselves spanking the kid and sitting them in a chair in time out or putting hot sause on something to get them to stop asking for a paci does not hurt them and is a far cry from abusive behavior.

Oh, just get off your self righteous soap box.  You bribed your kid to give up the pacifier.  I think that is bad parenting.  

I'm from NYC and I've heard of it.  (My grandma was from South Carolina.)  It won't kill him.  They do it with thumbs too.

i wouldn't personally do it. It seems so MEAN. They have tiny little tongues that haven't experienced loads of flavors and then to be hit with THAT. Seems cruel.

lmao. I (a Yankee) do the same thing to my husband (from the south) to get him to stop chewing his finger nails. They actually sell a bitter you can use... not as bad as SOME things. The whole "whiskey on the gums" advice for teething always bothered me.

Another reason KFed has full custody

As if that moron would hav the brains to think to take the pacifier away.  Fake story and the nanny is the one that will break his habit eventually.  Brit just visits those kids once a day or so.
