Red and yellow black and white they are precious in HIS sight. . . . . We as a nation need to just learn to love one another and get over it. Acknowledge the past, but don’t continue the same negative emotions and behaviors. IJS
I like how he called it a “pat on the back”. I know that there were cases of “child abuse” in my day. But this whole mentality that a spanking/paddling is child abuse is ridiculous. When kids can threaten parents with arrest, it’s completely out of hand. And, I know. My sister’s youngest child tried it. Didn’t work on my sister. But it does on so many.
Like Charles Smith said, it depends on the child. Spankings never worked for me. They worked for my sister. restriction worked for me. Regardless, parents who aren’t parenting should be parenting. Friendship comes later.
Hardware Dept. Absoloutely! My mother did that once, and then told us we still had to get to school! Walking!
Dotweasl. All it takes is one time for you to keep your promise. No threat, but a promise! Bet she believed you from then on, no matter what the issue was!
I too am highly allergic to cats; however I “cat-sat” 4 of them for my boss over the holidays. There must have been something very inviting for that cate to want to move in with you!!
Indeed. @GMAN, it happens here all the time and I have to beg the boss to buy coffee! teehee Anyway, it must be an epidemic. Everyone – The other issue is is making the coffee. Seems it’s always 2 people making it because the nitwit that empties the pot doesn’t make a new pot!
This is called patience! Definitely a virtue!
