When I was grounded my family still took me on family outings or vacations. They probably knew that, for me, that was a punishment too.
Lol. How would someone with your grip on <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=6348309&postcount=12">reality</a> know what's an act with kids, and what isn't? Your entire life has played out from the confines of a cubicle and your whole understanding of sexuality and human touch come from a voyeuristic standpoint of gonzo creampie's. You're the same guy who said people shouldn't take interest in sports growing up unless they have some otherworldy talent... you clearly don't get the vibrations of actual life. What it is to live for something other than primitive survival. The sensations of touch, smell, build up, romance and intimacy are all completely lost on you. Yet you're in a position to understand maternal instincts and what works with children? Sorry kid, but you're not there yet. There's a big world out there, I suggest you take your hand off your **** and explore it. To me, people like you are just as ignorant as Tex's parents, who locked him in a cage growing up. And we can see how that's impacted him.
brutal. btw when did pouhe say that noone should do sports unless they are really talented in it. it seems like a really silly thing to say unless i see the context behind it. i dont have search function so if anyone could oblige, it would be appreciated.
We're more interested in YOUR self-assured credentials (ie why should we listen to you?) than your ability to tear someone else down with florid writing. But we're actually not very interested in those either. The OP was asking for simple advice. Your whole premise is easily dismissed if someone doesn't believe that morality is relative. On some level, parents need to teach basic principles and kids need to obey in order to have some degree of harmony in the household. Sometimes there will be conflict and lessons learned. Personally I wouldn't ruin the family holiday for everyone else on account of one person's actions.
btw thanks to this thread, i am now reminded of that huge butthole charley rosen and his delusional hatred for JVG whixh always reared its ugly head in every frigging article he wrote about the rockets. screw u chaaaaaley
D*mn. "Everything you say can and will be used against you on the Clutchfans!"-Ronny's motto. That said Ronny how many kids have you raised? Rocket River
Count me as supportive of the cage idea. Of course, I think kids get away with too much **** these days so I'm probably overreacting with my support for medieval punishment.
Congratulations, you know how to use a search function. All the source info for your whiny invective came from honest discussions and opinions, like the one I gave in this thread. You on the other hand are trying to project your own insecurities through this dreadful, needy persona. Go ahead and start outlining your next post.
This is what I got while my sister got just don't do it again. To the orgional post have one parent stay at home with the girl.
I don't always agree with the granola eating hippie, but he is 100% right that you must be consistent and true to your word.
Napalm, it's simple a question of context. I don't enjoy regulating, but it's necessary at times. Rest assured baby, it's done with no malice. If you'd like you can cove over and give me a hug... although my tender embrace isn't one that's easy to let go of. My relationship with children is a deep one. A, I've always been somewhat of a kid at heart. B, I grew up in a big family with a variety of girls and boys... across 4 continents. I was also a child model (clothed) that harbored my inflated yet realistic sense of self and allowed me to date 15 year olds when I was 12. I have a deep understanding of sophisticated civilizations over the course of the past 4000 years and the subconscious development of humans from adolescence to adulthood under the tutelage of xxxxx xxxxxx, who's name I can't disclose for obvious reasons. So bob, that's my resume. Am I hired? In terms of my premise, let's keep it short and sweet. Growing up you teach these kids about the value of family. The value of what's mine is yours, unconditional love, and a sense of unity. The concept of "families must always stick together". But then you create barriers. This is your mother's. This is mine. That is your room, your clothes, etc. etc. It's a very hypocritical and limiting way of allowing their sense of security and freedom to develop. So that's where the real issue lies, and what creates the need to lie and be dodgy about things. Naturally my premise will fall out of context with you if you're not secure enough to want your child to grow to levels far beyond your own. When you keep reinforcing your authority and handing out punishments in these minor cases, you're encouraging them to lie to you in the future to cover their tracks, because you're ruling out of confusion and guilt. They know where you stand - but that doesn't mean it automatically holds true for them. Change your lifestyle of sloth and barriers, change the household hypocrisy, and then you'll find these petty situations will trickle out of your life.
