] No, not everyone can or should do this. Thanks for the acknowledgment that it takes something special to do it right.
My father is the one who should have forced to get snipped at a early age. One person who should have never become a parent. Yes, I wasn’t the only one in the family. No one talked about it or took you seriously then.
My mother did it right. Not perfect mind you, she screwed up royally in one area. As a kid, she spanked me and I deserved it. I experienced good and bad parenting. Spanking is NOT child abuse. I know the difference.
This “time out” and “self-esteem” BS doesn’t work. You can’t be their friend, you must be the parent. Else, you end up with spoiled amoral brats. Story, years ago on a message board for a free computer game project, these ME generation brats stole my ideas. This was my original idea that opened so many possible options. The programing code was slightly altered, but it was mine. They took credit for it. I told them to put my name on it or I was leaving. I gave them many chances to do the right thing. All I wanted was credit for my hard work. This was one of many original ideas, a completely redesigned user interface. I contributed so much to the community. What do I get in return?
“Why are you making a big deal out of this?” What bad parents created these amoral monsters??
So that was it, %$&#ing screw them. They lost a valued member. I deleted all my username-passwords to the websites and yahoo account. Burned my project to CD and wiped the hard drive of any trace of it. I vowed never to return. I haven’t. I keep the CD as a reminder of what happened, not to make the same mistake again.
Parents who leave kids on the computer for long periods to keep them out their hair(breeders IE bad parents). Amateur hackers who break into your computer with viruses and spyware are the result. The monsters online who go after your kids, since your your too lazy to parent.
Kids who live with their parents past 30 who can clearly afford it. Your too lazy to do you job as parent, tough love.
MYTH: “You go on as normal when you become a parent.” WRONG!
Your life, as you knew it, is gone forever! Get over it.
Your are now a 24/7 parent until their 18. If you really lucky, your hours might go down to part-time for the rest of your life.
Some bad parents created these monsters. You could be become one. Let that be a warning to you…
Now, actually finding someone to connect with that’s another matter.
