So beucase it's not your reason it's not legitimate? As a parent I have every right to dislike my kids being questioned in this manner. Just becusae you don't like the fact that I don't like it, in no way renders my reasons illegitimate.
Sorry I must have missed where you did that.
Don't...
Ok here I am. I have a problem with this becuase I don't approve of the president polling my kids and younger siblings.
Questions such as "Is President Obama inspiring you to do anything? Is he challenging you to do anything?" "What is the President trying to tell me? What is the President...
My problem is not with the speech. As long as it's the usual "stay in schoold and you could be president" kind. My issue lies with the "lesson plans" that have been sent out that are supposed to be paried with the speech.
I hate to thread jack my own thread...but I'm wondering what happened...I take week long break and come back to find the inmates running the assylum...Who in their right mind bestowed Modness on all these crazy folks...:)
Alas I must spend all my extra dough buying a complete set of work clothes. On the bright side that will containe a few trinkets, but no doughnuts.
And my daughter needy heffer that she is has this thing about eating 3 times a day that she's not willing to give up, so looks like my spending...
I HAVE A JOB!!!
Remember that over the phone interview I told ya'll about? We'll they called about 5 minutes ago and offered me the job and a pay rate almost a full dollar over what I asked for!!!

The situation you describe is exactly why my daughter wears a harness when we go out in public and she wants to walk. Prevents her from running away while in parking lots of while on a sidewalk and from hiding while we are shopping.
To me a spanking is being hit on the butt with a belt. However I know the defination vairies from person to person and know of several folks who consider my pop on her hand to be a form of spanking.
When I pop my daughter on the hand I do not expect her to understand that my mind is thinking...
In my daughters case I have discovered that the pop on the hand (so far at least) causes her to not revisit the object that she was poped for. Hence it is only used for objects that could harm her (stove, light socket etc.) If I ever come to discover that the pop on the hand no longer has the...
As in what would be an approiate age for spanking?
That's a hard one to pin down because each child grows and learns differently. That being said I can't iminage a child under the age of 5, maybe 7 who would be able to understand the reasons behind a spanking, and why a spanking was the...
Qualifiers...Lets see.
Any form of punishment that I use with my daughter is based on the severity of the action that warrents it. For example if she playing with something that she shouldn't be, but the object is something that won't hurt her such as one of my shoes I simply tell her no...
I was both spanked as punishment as a child and abused, and I personally find nothing wrong in using spanking as a form of correction. That being said, it should not be the only form of correction or even the most commonly used one with any child.
I for one will not be raising my daughter with the lie of Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. I find it hard to understand how some parents can teach their children to not lie, yet they themselves lie to their children for years regarding these "characters". But that's just my...
