I agree with yak that butt would be tore up. At that age they don't know better unless you show then it it's not ok.

I smacked my daughter once over 4 years ago, I only slapped her once very lightly on the bottom, it scared her so profoundly that it damn near tore my heart from my chest, the absolute last thing in this World I want my daughters doing is fearing me, throughout history violence has never been the answer to anything, all it ever does is hurt people, we don't want our children getting harmed, most especially not by us.

A little over 2 years ago we had a child psychiatrist examine her to see if there was anything 'wrong' with her, we were told that she exhibited no symptoms of psychiatric disturbance and that it would be helpful if we could treat her more often as she has a very deep sense of she has to go without all the time. Some folk just aint happy is they're not 'getting' stuff all the time, we just have to cope with her behaviour and show her the love she needs to get here through her days, we both feel she will change when she is older, we just have to keep taking the behaviour until she improves

Ah nadgers to it, I'm just being a whimpering bitch, sorry to trouble you all with my crap, I'm gonna shut up now, love and peace to you all.

It's not my place to go mucking about in your personal life. So I'm gonna say two things and then STFU.

1) Being vain, obstinate and greedy does not, IMO, call for the attention of a psychologist.

2) Women are born wanting their own way, and can be surprisingly accomplished little manipulators from little on up to get it. How inexplicable is a big, rough-around-the-edges brawler who'd back down from nobody taking orders from a child who's feigning emotional fragility and pulling his heartstrings to make him dance like a puppet ?

When grown women manipulate men to get things they want, you call them gold-diggers (if not worse).

"If daddy really loved me he'd buy me a pony" is the way girls that age sometimes think.

That's why there are adults. Who, when the limits are being tested, enforce them.

All the old cliches are true. That's why they're cliches.

My appologies if, in someone's view, I've stepped in it here.

agreed, and like you I always try to not give advice about stuff like this, hell I don't know if I raised my kids correctly.
All I know is when people I meet who have met my children always say " your kids are among the most polite people I know" makes me feel as tho I did something right.
But on the other hand my eldest son (25), has a similar attitude as your daughter Kirk... some one once told me we often hurt the ones we love and are most closest to, go figure

Same here. I am fortunate to have a very loving and friendly relationship with my kids. But they know I am the boss. I am open to discuss my decisions and directives. However I will tolerate no disrespect to me or my wife from either of them.

Sounds harsh in a way. But it's not. We have a much more harmonious and open relationship that other families we know that follow the much more "enlightened/modern" approach to discipline.

Another one from that time my friend was taking smoking photos of me:

She actually gave me a crash-course in photography last friday. Running around in snow on the frozen-over sea and trying to get everything right... lotsa laughing too, good times! I learned to really appreciate the difficulty of getting a good shot, halfway through I was crying out it was simply impossible.

:scratch: :lol!: I forgot it was.a portrait gallery.

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Shut up and post pictures.

 

[beetlejazz]

Yup, exactly. I wanna see cool guys and their pipes (giggle at that if you will, you big meanies :heart: ), not hear how little girls need their bottoms smacked. :x

Is that little stove fired up this time of year, Dragon?

Nah,

its actually "decoration" for the store. If I rem right, another customer was getting rid of it and brought it in. I think its a real stove but if it were lit up, it would def bring a whole new meaning to the term "smoking area" since its not hooked up to the outside LOL.

Me back in 2007, just a bit of snow eh, was making a snowman for my eldest daughter at the time.

Well this should do for my second post.

you still look kind of happy, Rev.

me walking the dog a few weeks ago when it was freezing out

Judging from the mess, your dog has an impressive bladder capacity.

Turn the flipping telly off (if not discard it entirely). Teach her to read when she's ready. Play counting & number games. Start memorising poetry together. Play games that require thinking. Raise a kid with the kind of functional brain that used to be taken for granted 60 years ago !

The whole concept of "quality time" is a placebo to ease the consciences of people who don't have enough time to spend, and know it in their guts.

In THAT respect, you're beyond fortunate ! You get one shot. Proceed accordingly !

:face:

Amen to that.

My Dad use to utilize a peach tree switch, or a belt, depending on our location, to correct my errant ways. God I loved that man.
