Every parent has that moment - when their toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of the supermarket, or refuses to be buckled into their carseat and you have to physically pin them down (much to the horror of unlookers who look like they're about to hit CYFS on speeddial) - when you wonder whether it's nature or nurture that's to blame for your child's abhorrent behaviour.
Am I not strict enough? Too strict? Did I let them have too much screen time? Not put them to bed early enough? Or is it none of that, and simply my child's genetics to blame for the fact they hit, pinch and bite?

If you haven't been to Titirangi to check out the $19 million refit of the beautiful Lopdell House and gallery, do it this weekend.
And while you're there check out the new Deco Eatery on the ground floor - one of the prettiest cafes we've seen, with spectacular views. We rate it in tomorrow's issue.
