Children should be seen and NOT heard?

I'm with you Josh. Mostly.. I used to babysit all the time, and I teach children's church at least once a month. I love kids. Really. But, with my job (hair stylist) I would much prefer if the little monsters that come in my shop could be strapped in the chairs and prevented from hitting, kicking and doing other terrible things to the stylist. And if they could be prevented from screaming at the tops of their lungs, that would be wonderful too. :rolleyes:


I have to go to work now, or else I'd have time to rant about how few parrents actually teach their children manners these days.. :sidestep:

I don't think it has changed. I remember when I was a kid... most of my """""peers""""" were like that back then, too. No manners, no sense of decency, no pride or shame. And of course the "I want, therefore I deserve" attitude. They've now "grown up" and had their own kids and, not surprisingly, their kids are the same way. (If by "grown up" I mean "physically capable of procreating" then yes.)

I think it's important for people who understand that difference to actually raise some kids. If none of those people have kids, the only thing left are the yard-apes and their progeny.
 
as a former child i would like to support as much screaming/running around/and rowdyness as possible. i'm 19 and i sure as hell don't consider myself an adult..
 
I agree completely Serp!

I try to teach my daughter respect. I think that's one of the most important lessons that a kid can get. It's also one of the easiest to teach since kids learn by example. :)

So far she's turned out to be a great kid, but she's only six. Ask me again in seven years. :grin01:

Enjoy your vacation, LUBU :wavey:


Back on-topic... I would have to agree with most people around here. I realize I'm not all that old, but I get sick of any kids over about 7 years old. I think Serp summed it up well. I was raised by fairly strict parents, and I think most people would testify that I've turned out well.
My dad recently said something to the effect that "You don't have to beat your kids, just make them think you will."
 
I do have to say that this is an interesting debate and I can see both sides. I agree with Serp and Mary-Beth - respect is a good thing to teach.

what do you do if they have spent their whole lives learning from bad examples, and your left with the results...

and trying to teach them new ways is disregarded by thier "bad example"

im at a total loss in my situation... thats all im saying :cry:

:( Awe, I'm sorry.
 
I believe the children are the future.
Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them a sense, of pride... to make it easier.
Let the childrens' laughter remind us how we used to be.

how can you if you spent your life as a child learning from bad examples... therefore its one big fcuked up circle....

you try to do whats best yet its thrown back in your face every day....
 
Part of being a good parent is providing an environment for your children where they will pick up good things instead of bad things.

You're 18 years old, how old can your kids be that they are in someone else's care all the time?

thats just the thing... they are not mine
but i have to share their environment due to my partners past relationship.

Of course its harder for someone like me to be displeased with the utter disrespect i get everyday... Being treated like dirt, Abused by self centered brats. What can i do about it, nothing. I dont have to be where i am, But i chose to be, WHY? Dont ask

Start showing them otherwise. That if they treat people with respect they will in turn be more respected. Half of the battle is showing them that they can be respected if they are polite and courteous instead of a "self centered brat".

if only it were that easy...
 
Oh I know it's not. It's a pain in the rear end sometimes but it's worth it when they finally get it. I've been student teaching this semester and I've taught 11th grade math, it has definately been eye opening thats for sure.

You mean they don't all turn their homework in on time with no complaints or excuses? When they fail an exam or quiz, they don't act like it's your fault for not teaching them? :rolleyes: My mom is retiring from teaching this year. She's pretty much fed up with the apathy these days.

It has to come from both you and their dad. They can't possibly be that way unless he lets them act like that all the time. If someone let their kids treat me that way, I can't tell you what a low opinion I'd have of them. But obviously that's your choice to make. :shrugs:

I'd never let a kid treat me that way. If they tried anything, I'd be all like, :realhot: "Ay! Why don't you stop dressing me up like a mailman, a-a-aand making me dance for you, smoking crack in my bedroom, and doing it on my dad's bed, with some guy I don't even know!"
