Ever got your mouth washed out with soap?

it does seem that the "best" parents are the ones that don't have kids

 

thats true.

we always know whats best when we aren't emotionally vested:cheers2:

 

I am a good parent to my animal friends that come into my yard, though they run when I try to breastfeed them..

 

oh
my
holy
hell...
Best picture ever! I got to get me one of those...:cheers2:

 

Did you ever see Meet the Fockers?

 

hell nah

 

Boy! Did that post evoke memories for me! Dear God, yes I had my mouth washed out by my aunts (mostly) - for my mouth, of course.

Mama didn't waste time with any soap in the mouth - it was straight to the hickory switches for her.

I think Controlled discipline is excellent for a child (and Marie, there is not a thing in the world wrong with a little mouth soap! lol) - though relatively Any discipline, other than restrictions, after about age 10 to 12 is a waste of time.

I have a soon-to-be 25 year old son who would even right now cringe if he knew I was posting what a good young man he is. But it's true - and I disciplined him, starting early. After turning 7 yrs old, I think I popped him only once, b/c I was consistent and started early. I also was not some nut job looking for every excuse in the world to smack their kid around...anyways

Yes, dear God, yes - I know all about some Dial soap in the mouth!

 

Thank you for defending me

My daughter is only 6 now. It was a couple years ago. We had just moved and she was going through a lot of emotional stuff. I did my best to let her have space but she was just pushing too hard.

I hate disciplining. They are so good at pushing you. but we have found the restrictions that work the best. Physical pain is not a part of it.

 

But could you pull off this trick

I remember 6 years old - for my son - and WOW, they can really show personality when least expected.
What you described going through before, my son experienced a similar type aggressive behavior when we moved here to live with my mother, his grandmother, when he was 6. Not just because the child psychologists say it, but because I have lived long enough to See it - children truly feel more secure and loved when they know there are boundaries. Period.
But this - washing out your mouth with soap - I just keep sitting here grinning like a fool
thinking about it, when I was a kid.

 

LOL, you are cute. It doesn't make me smile. makes me shake my head. That stuff was nasty.

She was three when we moved away. She was two when I left her daddy. He was very sporatic with visiting so she had alot of issues.

Very true.....if they have a free range to do whatever they want....they aren't happy. They do need discipline! But the kind given to them without emotional attachment.

 

When I was about 8 yrs old ,I think I swore at my mom or something like that- - My Pop made me munch a chunk of Ivory

MMMMmmmm MMMmmm goood

That was in 1958, do parents still do that silly shit??

 

That was a strange-funny little video there! Since I have dial-up, it took forever to see her belch(?) those bubbles.
But hey - she and I have the same color hair anyway.

 

if you use liquid soap, you can.

 

If they have any sense they do!:toetap05:

 

Well then this should Invoke some disturbing memories

wow, I never knew people did that..

no my parents let me curse when I was little cause they knew very well they did around me, so.. they told me to watch my mouth but never got mad at me or anything.. it's just words..

 

no, never and I wouldn't do it to my kids. It's actually quite dangerous.
I am not a parent though, so I have no right to judge anyone who has.

 

You're a good mama and have nothing to feel guilty about. You have raised a child on your own with little financial support and waited to get married until you found a man who you could join to form a family with, not just a relationship.
I know a lot of what you've been through in the past from what was told to me and you are one of the strongest people I know.
