Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
I had the real discipline. However I know people that don't hit their kids and the kids are great. There is discipline, it's consistent and there are consequences for all actions...good and bad. To me it seems like most kids can be good with consistent discipline whether they are beaten or not.
Well from what I've studied in psych, especially the development classes, there is a lot I could say.
But Bill hit the nail on the head pretty much. Discipline does not have to equal physical punishment. And that's the key.
I mean. I was raised mainly by my grandparents. Well, yeah, my grandparents gave me spankings here and there if I really showed my ass, but like if I went "home" with my mom and dad, my dad beat the crap out of me for breathing wrong.
YET now, with my little brother, he won't hardly touch him and he gets away with murder and bad mouths and is disrespectful. I mean... I took my lil bro somewhere one day and he wouldn't put his seat belt on for me, It was just me and him. I slammed the cars brakes and threatened his life if he didn't put it on. He just will NOT listen.
So there's valid points on both sides is what I'm sayin, but to this day dad and I aren't very close and my gma actually taught me right from wrong instead of whipping me and not explaining why I did or didn't do something or whatever. To me, she was the ideal parent. And if I have kids one day, I will model after my grandmother, firm nurture.
On a random thought, damn process servers came and served my neighbor papers (as you know he's an older man) so I got home just in time to intervene and send his ass on his way. Called my uncle, court date is tomorrow and he still hasn't accomplished much so I don't know anymore and quite frankly I'm running out of fvcks to give.
