i took 20s out of my dad's wallet, which he would leave on the kitchen counter every night, for years. some parents are dumber than others.
whatev. I made some good money out of the whole deal. If anything, it taught me to be sympathetic to hookers.
Ahaha. Too bad, because a coked up 5 year old with money to spare can really live it up in this world.
A 5 year old on coke will do more spanking to others than that which is done to him. How is that a bad thing in any way, shape, or form?
eating disorder here we come:cheers2: I don't think spanking is the best method of disciplining children. I'd see it as a personal failure if i resorted to spanking to teach my daughter.- I can't see how it would really help anything. Not spanking works for us any way. I don't really care what tools work for other families as long as they aren't beating their children.
I don't agree with 'not knowing how it is if you don't have a child'. If this were true, I wouldn't have been employed for the past year. I wouldn't need a degree, or experience with all different types of disorders or empathy for my position according to a lot of people's school of thought, I would have just needed to pop out a baby. I've gotten the 'you don't understand you're not a parent. What right do you have, you can't understand' speech a lot. Usually after placing a CPS call because I think the reason a kid got spanked is innapropriate, or if parents need a good wake up call. 9 times out of ten the social worker who takes the kids out of the home, also does not have children, yet they are deemed qualified enough to understand how to correctly parent without ever giving birth. Qualified enough to take your children from you. While I might not know how exhausting it is to not have sleep because of a crying infant, or may not know what the emotional bond is like, I do know the difference between right and wrong and have my opinions on what good parenting is and what lazy parenting is. I am not trying to crucify anyone here and like I said before, I have seen kdis where nothign else works. However, I don't think anyone's opinion should be discounted because they didn't have stiches in their vagina or have their sperm penetrate an egg.
Perfect example of occasions I don't agree with spanking: There was a forumer on here (she no longer posts here) who would spank her daughter for getting in her shower gel while she was sittign here on her fat ass posting on the hipforums. her daughter was 3. I tried calling CPS, but since I did not have a last name on this woman, they couldn't do anything. So frustrating. Lazy people in general annoy me though.
I really want to point this out. For those of you who were spanked as a child. Please know that you may be thinking it's okay and acceptable because it's easier than admitting you felt abused at some point in your childhood. Don't carry this on with your kids to justify that your parents didn't do anything wrong.
It takes away the kid's fundemental need for security (bottom of Maslow's pyramid), thus they can't really process what is right or wrong because of the anxiety they feel missing a meal. it's also removing them from the family. There's no point in removing a child from family activities after they have setteled down.
