my dad once duct taped me to the corner because I wandered off to many times lol

I never had a problem with my boys being late, the deal was if they know they where going to be even a few minutes late they call and give us an ETA. Teaching them to be responsible is the key to a good like later on. Sounds like you are doing a good job. When your girl is in college and doing well and the laid back moms daughter is in drug rehab or laying on the couch because she cant hack THE RULES in school you can feel vindicated

I don't know that that girl will be like that ...... she is a grade skipper ...... they started first grade together and now this girl is in second grade .... I talk to her quite a bit about school and the books that she has read ..... she just barowed Ender's game from me Friday evening and had it back to me Saturday Afternoon...... I gave her a pre-algebra study guide I put together for my own kids and she finished it with no mistakes ..... she won't be a second grader long ........

maybe we have it wrong then, maybe kids do have too many rules LOL

nope ... its all genetics, her dad is an engineer and her mother is also smart ... flaky but smart....... my younger daughter will prolly be like that ....... she is 5 and reads on a second grade level, even my 4 y/o can read dick and jane books ..... and all 3 of my kids are light years ahead in math .....my Uncle and I are teaching them stuff ('cept the 4y/o, but he grasps the concept of addition and subtraction all on his own) you normally wouldn't learn until 7th grade..........

Makes me think of when I was in grade school.... my mom got a call one day from the librarian at the school... the librarian was upset because I had just checked out a couple books that were several grade levels above me....

My mom wanted to know what the problem with that was, lol.

By 7th grade I had read Jule's Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea cover to cover....

in my family i was rasied with military rules if you cant make it home on time dont come home or if their is an accident like truck broke down or got a flat tire then that would be a good excuse to be late but even still i was still given a time to be home depending on where i was in location to the house. and im 20 now and live with my dad and i still have a cirufew and the old rules still apply to his house and i am home early everytime for example i have to be home at 11 and i am home at 1040 if not earlier to keep the peace i had to do wall sits when i was late and to keep that from happening again i home as early as possible. and i think that is what you call good parenting on your part! i look at it like this if you let them get away with small stuff like what happend to you then they will try something bigger then bigger to the point where they control you and you dont control them that is why some many kids are as spoiled and punks that think they know all and can do whatever they want no matter who tells them other wise

WILL YOU PLEASE LEARN PROPER PUNCTUATION AND CAPITALIZATION!

Damn. Reading stuff like this run-once sentence just irritates the hell out of me.

Sure, everytime I post something like that I get bitched at. I do agree though. It's rude to the reader. Rant...done.

THREAD JACKED.........

It hurts my eyes when there isn't a break, or space every now and then, I'm sure I miss a lot on the forums because I do this........... but I honestly skip over any posts that looked to jumbled.

Or I read the first and last sentences.

I think parents should be able to beat their kids......... I don't mean punch them in the face, but I still cringe when I'm visiting my dad and I hear him whip his belt off
Frank

Right there with you man.My dad used the belt and holy shit.I learned my lesson about things real quick.Hell even my mom was strict,she'd pull out a big ole wooden spoon and paddle my ass til it was red and about to bleed if I did something wrong.I hated em at the time but I gotta respect em now.It absolutely taught me right from wrong and to be respectful to them.

 

[Ranger Dave (B25)]

Learned by the belt as well; both parents would put a hurt on us if we pushed them. And I didn't grow up to be resentful or violence-prone thanks to corporal punishment (like all the bed-wetters claim will happen to kids that are spanked). Southern parents don't put up with a lot of crap from their kids - at least they didn't in my day. They've probably been infected by the disease by now though, thanks to two-and-a-half decades of rampant 'everybody's a winner' touchy-feely liberal PC bullshit.

My mom used a big wooden spoon too! Dad only had to snap the belt and we all fell in line. None of my siblings has been in serious trouble with the law and we turned out halfway decent.

You could say that when I was young I didnt see the point of doing chores and what not, but over the years of diepilne and looking back I thanked my parent one day for teaching me the right stuff.

I have a little brother and I'm like the parent to him, I tell him that if he goes to a friends he needs to be back at a set time, change the trash he does it, etc....... teaching him now so later hes not a snob to me. I told him if he nice to me I'm nice back, all I demand is respect. I'm 21 hes 11, I'd do almost anything for him.

As for the not on time thing, I had an ex-gf that I have known for 7 years now that was like that. Her parents didnt get get on her ass enough as a child and well after she had 2 kids with 2 different guys from staying out late and not getting home on time, parting late, etc....well last week I saw her and after talking to her (she married a guy and shes says there isnt much love, guy that got her pregnant with kid number 2) she said that she should have listened to me all those years ago and stayed with me, I tried to warn her. It took all that for her to learn, thank god I'm not with her and I just got a new girlfriend 1 week ago and from what I see, she is the complete opossite of my ex-gf, well mannored, has a job, car,(a million times hotter) and told me that daddy doesnt know about me yet.... YIKES, I'm told he is strict but loving to her.

I'm not a parent, but active discipline like what BDAB is doing is exactly what kids need. I used to get spanked as a kid, not abuse, it's discipline. It teaches you not to do that certain action for which you received the spanking. I respect my parents to the highest degree because of that. It puts the respective kind of fear into someone, like the fear of God..........................

I mean if she's late all the time, then putting your foot down is the exact right thing to do. If this woman doesn't understand it or the school understands it, who are they to tell you how to raise your kids.

They'll turn out really well and much better off because of the discipline.
