When my son was that age, 16 or so, he thought he was gonna go all badass and I took him down. Had him on the floor nose to nose and said "You think you're the baddest motherfucker in this house? Think again!"
He said "Mom, you're scaring me, I said "Good, you remember it"
We never had any troubles after that, and I think every person he was hanging with then has been to jail or such. Cheers for this mom.
Sometimes going psycholunchlady IS the correct response.
But...But...But...his psyche...his self-esteem...
The horror...[:o]
Try to imagine growing up in a household where you never know when this type of thing will happen ,or how far it would go.or what piddling stupid pointless thing would set it off.
Not every childs reality is a parent that uses discipline in a measured calm manner.
Some kids grow up where there reality is fucking terror
I know you don't want to consider that this happens but before you post another snide asinine post concerning child discipline realize that the flip side of that coin is child abuse....and it happens in appalling numbers in this country
Can you be sure that the poster above you or below you never abused a child.Do you know what goes on behind the neighbors door ?
Consider that before your next.....
Than come back with your ......but.....but.....but jokes [:@]
ps jstanothersub...nothing I just posted was meant to imply or suggest anything about your own parenting.
I'm a bit tired of your sanctimonious moralizing and preaching. Believe it or not, I KNEW justanothersub wasn't referring to child abuse of her child. And if you can find ONE thread where I've made just such a joke when the reality being talked about was a child being beaten, then bring it forth.
I don't condone child abuse...find nothing REMOTELY funny or fine or excusable in it. On the other hand..I DONT think a swat or what Lucy mentioned doing to her child or what just another sub mentioned doing to her child IS abuse. Now...some people do and they will wrong their hands over the "damage wrought" by one little touch to a child. I find that amusing. You don't and that's fine. As we discussed earlier, you have a right to your ideas on how to raise kids and I have my ideas on how to raise mine.
But...just another sub made a "punch-line statement" about going "psycho" on the kids once in awhile. Not one word from you to her about that. As a matter of fact, while you're taking me to task for my joke...you, the same guy who apologized several posts ago for your moralizing and touchiness about this very issue...You're explaining to her that nothing you've just said is about her parenting. So that leaves me the brunt of it.
No, I don't know what goes on behind my neighbors' doors but I've played Santa to the kids at the shelter for battered wives and children. I've given my money and time for them. I helped put my brother-in-law away for abusing my nieces. So yeah, while I might like to pretend this doesn't happen, I fucking well know it does. Better than some do...
And you know what? That still doesn't make me the keeper of the sensitivities of the poster above me or below me. Nor does it stop me from thinking that all the hand-wringing over a swat....many times by someone who hasn't raised a child...is humorous.
I said it earlier and I'll say it again, Mike. I'm truly sorry for the hell you endured. I went through MY OWN version of it from the time I was thirteen until I left the house at 20 to join the service. It made me determined not to raise my own kids in that hell. But...it didn't make me an insensitive, brutish abuser. And it didn't make me a fucking Nanny. And I'm tired about being preached to about the first and about the implication that I should be the second.
