What a horrible thing to do to a child.

<< < (12/17) > >>

Malenko:
I was taught when reason fails force prevails.

In my youth a was a pretty good kid, when I tested my limits I was spoken to sternly, when I did it again I got spanked.  My punishment never exceeded my misdoings.

My sisters both have FOUR kids. Carrie's kids arent that well behaved but shes a heavy spanker, her 3rd kid is the best behaved because hes around me the most. When he acts up I talk to him, tell him what hes doing is wrong, and he genuinely seems to understand even at 4 yrs old.

My other Sister Beth has 4, and her Oldest 2 are prolly the very best behaved kids Ive ever met, mostly due to the fact my mom raised them for the first few years of their life. her 3rd is a baby and doesnt apply, the 4th is her husbands from another marriage and I dont know how she was raised.


I guess my point is theres nothing wrong with a smack to the butt when its needed, but only when its needed.

I don't have kids, but sometimes when I'm walking the trails at our local park I let me dog off his leash and he walks right beside me.  So, is it wrong that I am treating my dog like a child?

Doesn't the harness solve this problem?

Seat belts tie people down like luggage.

Parents who force their kids to wear seatbelts are too lazy to watch the road.  If you can’t drive and watch out for every obstacle on the road then you shouldn’t be driving.

 Leashes are not for people.  They are for animals.  Every time I see some lazy parent walking their kid like a beagle I want to throw the parent down on the ground and play "why you hitting yourself" for an hour.

Chad . . . I saw an awesome product for people (like me) who think putting a kid on a leash is just fundamentally wrong, but are still worried about the whole, turn your head and they're gone scenario.  It's a proximity alarm that can be set to a couple of different distance settings.  It's basically two keychains.  Clip one to your kid and if he goes out of range (I seem to remember the settings were like 10 and 35 feet) your device beeps at you, letting you know that you're kid is wandering off.  I think that would be awesome (though I really wish it had something more like a 100 ft setting -- that would be a lot more useful somewhere like a public park).  It was super expensive, though.  Like $160.  But I'm sure there's no reason for it to be expensive once there's more competition in the market with devices like that.  For $160 the devices could be using GPS and 2-way radios to communicate relative positions (outdoors anyway).

Um no.  If a drunk driver hits your car then it wasn't because you were lazy.  When you drive a car you have to expect the others on the road to drive somewhat safely.

What station?

I like you Chad, but I think your hard-line, black and white view of the subject is wrong. You can't insinuate that people treat their children as dogs and not expect them to get pissed off.

He wants a divorce and he is taking the kids, lol.

What if pitbulls are involved?
