Dumb people

I hate that, just because I don't have children yet means I don't have or can't give good advice on how to deal with them. Sure there are times I joke and say they should be beat more. I was disciplined when I was growing up. I got spankings. I'm grateful for them. I thank God that he gave me 2 great parents who knew when to beat the snot out of me for disobeying. I was disciplined, not punished. There is a difference.

If you don't teach the children when they are young, then you are only making your job harder for yourself. The only one you can blame is yourself. Sure the kids grow up and make their own choices, but most times they only make the wrong choice because of how they were raised, what they were taught. Teach them while they are still young, it will help them when they grow up.

Giving in to the child that screams only teaches the child that if they keep screaming they will get their way. Letting the child play with something you they shouldn't play with or you don't want them to play with only teaches them that they can play with anything. As long as they cry and whine to mommy/daddy. He/She will get tired and give in. That's not good. Now they are making the rules and not you.

There is nothing wrong with letting a child cry!! So what if they aren't getting what they want! You know what's best for them. I say let them cry, they will shut up soon enough and then maybe just catch on that mommy and daddy are in control and not the screaming child.

I'm tired of people telling their 2 year old child that what they did "wasn't nice" or "mommy said no".. ok so mommy said no.. What are you gonna do to back that up? They keep doing it and doing it.. Are you just going to keep using words? Some parents are lucky and only ever have to speak to their child. Wow I hope that will be me one day. But if they don't listen and keep doing wrong, they need to be disciplined... not just spoken to!!! My nephew knows that if he is told no, and then does it anyway. He will get spanked. There are consequences for your actions..

They know when they are doing wrong, they are testing you. If you don't do anything, then they know they've won! Then the problem just spirals out of control and you made your job harder.

Teach them when they are young. Teach them right from wrong. Discipline them if they need it. Pastor Jennings used to tell the church a story about Shad and his diaper. It was hard on the Pastor, it was hard on his wife, it was hard on Shad and his diaper. haha But it needed to be done. Sometimes spanking isn't a bad thing. They will thank you when they are older, just like you thanked your parents. You know you're glad your parents raised you right.

I'm just tired of seeing parents let their children control everything, and then they want to complain about it. Wake up.Teach them, be consistent.
