So Apt
Bean Dad’s daughter toughed out his can opener experiment longer than he withstood twitter criticism. One assumes he has learned much from being tested this way.

A parent's cry-it-out method to sleep train their child went viral a few days ago. But bean dad seems to have angered a lot more people this time, that he himself could not take it.
