How do you do this to your kids?

Hers is the old, "I can't be bothered to head off trouble before it arrives, so I'll wait until it does then blow my to quickly so I can get back to Springer" approach to parenting.

Too bad for her kids, but I guess the world needs ditchdiggers too.

DrewKaree:

She's got 3 kids.  There are two teenagers, and one who's the spoiled brat. He's the little bastard type who - check THIS out - looks out the window when I pull up, and hides his hand behind the curtain so mom can't see him, and flips me the bird.  I've already spoken to her about him, she told him "knock it off".  That's it.  Now I just lean on the horn when he's doing it.  Dunno why, as it's evident mom won't do a darned thing to him.  I've ratted him out when I've SEEN him actively getting his sister in trouble, and it's almost as if I said the magic word that makes her go calm.

Dad divorced her a while ago.  Oddly enough, he lives 2 houses away from my parents.  He's a BIGGER loser than SHE is.  Too much stuff to go into, but there's a reason the kids AREN'T living with him ::)

She treats the two older kids like complete dirt.  I've actually called child services WHILE she was in the middle of a tirade (they usually go on for 10-15 minutes) and let them listen to how she acts.  They tell me there's not a whole lot they can do if all she's doing is yelling at them.

I'm sorry Drew, but just because they're called mobile homes it doesn't make them houses.

Once you take the wheels off, they're no longer mobile.  All that's left are "homes".  I win ;D

Spaz Monkey:

I don't need to yell at my kids; I find waving the gun around works just fine.   ;D

AtomSmasher:

Growing up my dad had a leather belt he would spank us with if we did something really bad, he called the belt the hearing aid because it got us to listen to him.  I think he only used it a couple of times, but it became kind of a standard threat to get us to behave.

A few years ago I found a journal I did sometime around first grade.  Once a week we would draw a picture and write a sentence or two about anything we wanted.  Most of them were about standard kid stuff, playing with friends, talking about my pets, etc.  but one of the pictures was stick figures of my dad rearing back with a belt with a word bubble saying "Rawr!!" and me cowering below him saying "Help me!!", the sentence I wrote was something like "I don't like getting hit with the belt".  Child services would all over that now a days, but back then getting spanked was pretty common.  Looking back, I don't even remember the spankings being that horrible, but that drawing sure was funny to find.

You teacher probably called your dad to ask for tips on getting the best swing...
