this is exactly how adults in kids lives need to act. Boundaries are important. Most of the types getting arrested had no boundaries growing up; the rest of society suffers for it and then the kid suffers in prison. The most merciful and loving thing for both the kid, mom and society is belt leather.
“Spare the rod and spoil the child.” Ensure the pain of punishment exceeds the pleasure of misbehaving. Dr. Spock‘s book should be used by every parent - apply it to the child’s posterior. One thing to ensure, don’t relieve your frustration through punishing the child - only use corporal punishment with malice of forethought.
Great words if GW said 'all' of them." One of many misquotes attributed to him.
I though I had the coolest Velcro sneakers in the early 80’s
There was a small Velcro pocket on the right side that could hold a few quarters.
No more trying to find coins in the dirt after playing with my friends.
I think they were Roos
Nice thoughts... but another misquote attributed to GW.
I can’t argue with your point or your eloquent delivery. I appreciate the conversation!
Our Unit was in Hawaii in 1986, and all the boys took the 15 passenger Navy van out on a Saturday night. One of the guys wanted to call the girl he had met and let her know that he would be late. He popped into a phone booth like this one and called her. The driver JJ, was tired of waiting for his sweet talking to get finished, and kept tooting the horn and waving for him to come on. MJ kept holding up a finger in the “just give me a minute” sign. JJ said, “I’m tired of this shit” and put the van in gear and ran up and knocked the whole phone booth down with MJ still inside of it. MJ climbed out unhurt but with broken glass all over him. We dusted him off, and jumped in the van to boogie out of there before the cops showed up. Just another Saturday night in the life of a Navy diver. My friends say that I should write a book.
Thank goodness MJ wasn’t in a Port-a-potty.
I’m not ok with going soft on these kids, if that’s what you’re saying. There’s a difference between letting the kid know that he done fucked up and making a fool of yourself and him once the lesson is delivered.
But I see your point and don’t necessarily disagree. He’s lucky to have a mom that cares that much. I just don’t see the point in getting in his face and acting like a fool, but we all have different ways of parenting.
I can’t imagine how he’s going to respond if he’s spoken to that way his entire life. If that’s what’s going on in public, I would imagine he faces a lot worse behind closed doors.
Speaking to a kid like that for years destroys his self worth and teaches him that losing control is how you respond to difficult situations.
My wife works at an elementary school and she sees how these kids are treated. Kids who are dying for a bit of affection from a mother who is too preoccupied with her hair, nails, TikTok, and figuring out where she’s going to get the money to pay her Mercedes payment and the kids are treated like an inconvenience.
It’s heartbreaking and these kids have meltdowns when they learn that there is a holiday and they won’t be able to come to school and eat a good meal and get away from the nonstop volatility that they experience at home.
Getting in this kid’s face and acting like you’re in a street fight and calling him nibba over and over is not a quality interaction, no matter how you want to spin it.
But we don’t know the whole story and it may be just what he needs. But I doubt it.
Every time discipline is handed out two lessons are delivered.
What happens when you behave unacceptably and how to deal with behavior unacceptable to you.
It's not a 100%, nothing is, but many anger issues are more nurture than nature.
Yes! Not minding your balance at the top was a death sentence.
I need to get some crack. My projects are piling up on me!
That is a story for another day!Thank goodness MJ wasn’t in a Port-a-potty.
What happened in the Navy port a potties stays in the Navy port a potties, the Village People never made a song about any of the other services.
yes...
Companies really pay these people to drive traffic with their stupid ideas. Some make 125,000 a year for this stupid click bait
Is it a stupid idea if it pays $125k/year???
Looks like he's getting ready to travel to ANY Blue city in America.
I think we got the armed part down, disciplined? I'm as afraid of the self appointed mall Ninja's with a following who's only qualification is rage and the ability to deny anything that goes against their fantasy.
People want to make this an us vs the government thing, when us are a bunch of idealistic sub groups more likely to attack each other than defend anyone's rights.
