Jesus will go back on the cross if you don't behave?? That's a new one for this Catholic boy :) Hmmm for St. Patrick's day... I think you can't really threaten kids with that holiday.. but you could threaten your future husband (whomever he may be) that you're going to take away his beer :) Hahhahaha!!!

Lauderdale Thu, 08 Dec 2005 04:45:45 +0000 http://blog.largetony.com/?p=177#comment-2330 I suppose when I see any kids happy and healthy it makes me smile, even when they are being brats. I work in a surgical recovery room and some of our kids come in from abuse, shaken baby sydrome, etc. Even though they may be brats, and believe me some of them are, it makes me smile because they are healthy but more importantly, they don't come home with me!! It's like getting to play Uncle Larry all the time and spoil them when they are sick, it's the fun part of my job. PS I am a union stewart for SEIU and if the union president would see me shopping in WalMart she would break my legs.

Having 3 kids myself I have resorted to some...ummm...not so conventional tactics. As parents you learn what works and what doesn't. I think my kids are brats and yet people are always commenting to me on how good my kids are and what a great job I am doing. Strange...I think as parents I expect more from them than society as a whole does. Good news, since you changed your blog URL, I can now access it and will be reading it a lot more!!! ;) Yea I can relate in a big way.

I used the threat of "the trolls". We lived in a pretty wooded area and I told him that the trolls lived in the woods and they would come out and get any little kids that didn't listen. It worked until he was about six. Now that he is almost fourteen (GASP!) if he doesn't mind me I take his MP3 and his Napster away. That is exactly like taking the phone away from me when I was his age. I think it's a good trade off.

They have not only managed to force independent shops out of business in many small and large towns throughout the U.S., they have managed to make cheap materialism a virtue, and have fooled their own shoppers and workers to believe that they are the best place on earth to shop and work. You want low prices, well, you get low wages, too, and no service from these slack-jawed yokels, festooned with anti-union and pro-wal-mart pins and ribbons, and that stupid smiley face bandit. They have managed to gouge the avg. u.s. citizen out of their hard earned money as well as their jobs and wages. I will never again set foot in one of those stores. The fact that the shoppers there have children who misbehave is annoying, but consider their upbringing, and the utter lack of discernment in their parents' eyes. Merry Christmas.

I have 3 boys adopted with my partner and when they were younger we never let them get away with that crap. However it didn't help when people nearby excused their behavior when we corrected them. Many times I disciplined my boys for something and someone said "that's ok they are only kids" ANyway love your blog keep writing. Kevin in Baltimore You just always notice the passive parents.

I have worked in social work and pediatric nursing before settling in one of the midwest's largest county ERs. Working with fucked up families, working with underprivilaged who think the world owes them....I still believe in the foundation of good parenting. Sure my niece cries occasionally but so far, she has manners and discipline which we all have instilled in her. Sometimes, parents deserve the whippings with the rope of candy...if they would only learn like I did with a whipping as a child. God, I am so fortunate!
