I made that reference to my wife once. Once.Kids are just like dogs, only with the ability to reason a bit more.
Bwahahahaha!!! How come those without kids OF THEIR OWN are quick to offer advice on raising them?
That's hawt.I have however on a number of occasions told my wife that our daughter is not allowed to sleep in our bed so I had to discipline her a few times.
Very true. Timeouts work great with our oldest daughter. No need for physical discipline with her. Often giving her "the look" will put a stop to the bad behavior. Our second is quite different. If she's feeling especially ornery, she'll sit in timeout for eternity then get up and go right back to what she was doing. At times like this, a single controlled spank on the bottom, followed by love and a talk about what she did wrong will remedy the situation.You have to find out what means works best for a particular child.
It IS like training a dog. Say it once, not one thousand times.Young kids - one verbal warning, (if that) then discipline.
If you repeat yourself more than once the child will ignore you and keep up the BS.
This is the creepiest statement I have ever read on RM. Really.He craves the structure and understands it.
'correction'...such a funny word to use.I have another parent that is physco-trained from St. Mary's and won't physically discipline her daughter, who is also my God daughter...she is a tyrant. At 3 years old she runs the house and Jazzy-the mom-is always at her wits end. It sucks to no end to watch it go down. Physical correction definitely has it's place but without relationship and explanation it does more damage than good. It's a fine line and it's all about loving that little kid with all that you are.
Not so creepy to me. My daughter is very self-disciplined but she also thrives in a structured environment where there is stability, rules, boundaries, etc.This is the creepiest statement I have ever read on RM. Really.

Violence not required.
Most kids do well in this situation.
Before living with me she was with her druggy mom. Misery.
If the kicking is any indication, I might have a hyper child on the way. He/she seems to already be practicing prenatal kung fu.I can't argue since I do not have children - I'll follow the prgress of L'oopie's spawn to see at what point a child craves the structure physical discipline provides.
I agree about "Beating" children, but there is a difference between discipline and Beating.I haven't seen the results of the poll yet but I think that people who beat their children should be shot by their kids as soon as said beaten child discovers how to remove the trigger lock.
Right as I read this post, itunes decided I should hear this song.I haven't seen the results of the poll yet but I think that people who beat their children should be shot by their kids as soon as said beaten child discovers how to remove the trigger lock.
Everything is good so far thanks for asking. I just got a job so things are looking up. It's been over 1.5 years since I had a regular 9 to 5. I agree with you about physical discipline though...I just wish more parents thought along the same lines..DSup Donnie, long time no talkie. How's Canadia?

If you make a shirt, I will buy it.BTW - and I think most parents on here would agree -
I don't condone beating your kids. But sometimes...I understand it.
My sister-in-law and her husband let their baby sleep with them every night when he was a newborn. The theory is that you form a closer bond, it's easier to breast feed in the middle of the night, etc(google "cosleeping"). Well he's 3 now and still sleeps in their bed every night and I don't think Mom and Dad have had sex in 3 years.Why not? Kids love that.
Sort of OT, but this brings up a good point.My sister-in-law and her husband let their baby sleep with them every night when he was a newborn.

You turned out great!I pulled a lot of weeds as a child. I can only remember being spanked a few times.
My parents were fair.
I know a guy who was breast fed until he was 3+ years old. He is, to this day, the most ****ed person I've ever known.Sort of OT, but this brings up a good point.
I used to work with a guy that had a "family bed". He and his wife had 3 kids and they all slept together in a HUGE custom made bed. My first thought was "How did you make 2 and 3 with 1 in the bed from the start?"
He would never answer the question. I'm not sure what's creepier, sleeping with 3 kids in the bed, or trying to do it with 3 kids in the bed?

Was his mom hot?I know a guy who was breast fed until he was 3+ years old. He is, to this day, the most ****ed person I've ever known.
Thanks, asshole. But really, that has little to do with their parenting. It has to do with my personal views .You turned out great!
Then why did you pick the person you are?On the internet you can be whoever you want to be.
It's entertaining and educational.Then why did you pick the person you are?
Valid point, but I'm far more perplexed about n8.Then why did you pick the person you are?
once or twice but his bike stuff is usually more of a father/son time thing so i try not to mess w/ it too much. "hey noah, i'm going for a ride at _____, i was going to take you but you did _____ so now i'm going alone." that just seems a little meglomaniac-ish to me; thinking that a ride w/ dad i soooo important that he'll just change his ways. he gets the message much better when we take away playing airsoft with his friends.have you ever taken lil manimal's bike away? or used it as leverage?...D
Yeah, sometimes we wonder how we're doing and we always get rave reviews from teachers and other parents, that is such an awesome feeling, a little surprising sometimes...but so awesome.that's parenting at the manimal house in a nutshell. on a side observation....something must be working because, at home, our kids usually act like barbarians but they are respectful and well mannered as soon as we step out in public.
