Shitty parents might need to beat their kids, good parents never have to lay a hand on them.
I object.
Perhaps you were an exceptionally submissive child who easily followed your mom/dad's rules, but some children are not submissive. I am not a parent, but I babysit my niece frequently and she is the *opposite* of submissive. She's dominant!
For example, if we're playing videogames I might say, "My turn. Hand me the controller," and she says, "No." I say, "Well it's MY videogame, so hand it over and let me have a turn. Learn to share with other people." "No." ----- I think my niece is an "alpha male" even though she's female. She likes to be dominant. So I punish her and make her sit in a chair for half-an-hour, but she refuses to comply. I put her in the chair and she hops-out and runs-around the room. I put her in the chair and she defiantly says, "No" and again runs around the room. Finally I smack her 6-yr-old bottom.
Then she sits quietly and takes her punishment. According to you "Good parents never lay a hand", so you must be presuming I'm Not-good. But I disagree.
I'd like to how to hear how you'd deal with a little girl who refuses to sit in a chair and take a timeout. I suspect you'd have no idea, and let the girl run all-over-you, just like the little black boy in the first post.
Re: Some parents really need to beat their kids' ass.
Originally posted by ImpedimentHaving met angry people in my former-retail job, often the best way to handle the situation is NOT to argue. I'd probably try these tactics:
his mother walked over, concerned, and asked me, in a rude voice, "What the hell did you do to my boy?!?" I explained to her that her son stole my child's toy and ran away and I took it back. She immediately became unglued. "Why the hell did you do that!! You could have just as easily went back to the counter and asked for another toy! Now you got him all worked up and crying, and now I'll have to deal with this horseshit!"
- Let her blow-off her steam. Oftentimes people will be rational AFTER they've blown-off their steam and calmed-down. Then you can reach a reasonable solution. I've handled many angry customers using this method.
- If that didn't work, I'd hand the toy to the kid so he stopped crying, then say, "Look. He's quiet. Are you satisfied?" Next I'd ask the mom to return the toy to my daughter. If she refused then I'd reach for my cellphone to call 911, so the police can arrive on the scene and arrest the mom for theft of personal property. If she tried to run, I'd get her license plate and make/model/color of her car.
Why go to all that work?
Because it's not the kid that needs to be punished; it's the mother. Maybe if "daddy government" forced her to spend a night in jail for petty theft, she'd learn a valuable lesson about not being an [butt]hole towards her fellow Americans. The kid STOLE from my family; if the mother enables that action, then she's also a thief and needs to stand before a judge or cop, and explain herself. Let the government deal with it; that's why I paid almost $20,000 in taxes last year. I deserve to get something back in return, like police protection for my daughter's stolen property.

So earlier today, I took my daughter, Madison, with me to go and pick up my weekly paycheck. After I deposited my money in the bank, I decided that we should go to McDonald's for lunch. We order our meals and sit down to eat, when suddenly a little black boy, probably about 3 years old, walks up and sits down at our table with us. I laugh, since he was cute little tyke, and I found it humorous that he would just come a sit down like that. My daughter is playing with her toy she got out of her Happy Meal I bought her, when all of a sudden, the little boy [b]snatches her toy out of her hands and runs off. Well, Madison began to cry because her toy got stolen, and I stood up and walked over to the kid and calmly took back the toy that he stole and I said to him, "This doesn't belong to you, son. You have to give it back."Well folks, the shit hit the fan. This little bastard began to, literally, scream, cry, jump up and down, roll on the floor, and beat his fists. He acted like I had just beat him with a belt and screamed at him. Naturally, his mother walked over, concerned, and asked me, in a rude voice, "What the hell did you do to my boy?!?" I explained to her that her son stole my child's toy and ran away and I took it back. She immediately became unglued. "Why the hell did you do that!! You could have just as easily went back to the counter and asked for another toy! Now you got him all worked up and crying, and now I'll have to deal with this horseshit!" I told her that, maybe, if you would beat his little ass now and again, instead of letting him act like a damn heathen, he probably wouldn't act like this! All the while we are in this argument, the little shit is still on the floor screaming and crying.
She then proceeded to call me "White-ass" and "Racist" because, evidently, I wouldn't have done this were it another white child involved. I was a rude motherf*cker, and I was mean to her child. The manager came out and intervened. I explained to her what happened and I received a refund of my meal, and the b*tchy mom ans her little failed abortion were asked to leave.
Some parents just need to whoop their kids' ass every now and then. I discipline my child, and she is well behaved and courteous as a result. I just thought I'd let you guys know about this little incident, since it was the high point of my day. [/B]
I totally agree that kids should be controlled, absolutely.
Even a light spanking though, all it does is teach kids at a very early age that violence is the way to solve problems. srug

His son just kept bitching about how he wanted the other game they didn't have. The father was like "we'll be back for that game, dont worry", and he's like "shut up, i told you i wanted to go back to Gamestop". Then the father was like "we will, not today" and the kid is like "whyyy nottt...ur so stupid....stop being so stupid dad"That kid would not only NOT get a new PS3, but he'd also lose every single piece of electronics he owns. He'd either learn to treat me with respect (and other people as well), or he'd spend the rest of his teenage years like a kid in the 1940s (no modern conveniences).
But I guess some parents are wusses, and they think buying stuff is how you make-up for not being at home.
