And who is blue in the face?
What i want to know from the bleeding hearts is WHY do you think spankings are abuse? How did you get this in your heads? I can't believe you think they are one in the same. Abuse is: beating your child black and blue, not feeding them, leaving them unattended, and so much more i couldn't name them all. A spanking is a pop on the bottom. How the hell is that abuse? Can't you see how taking paddles out of schools has changed kids these days? What is wrong with you? A spank gets their attention and is over very quickly and effectivly. Taking a toy away, please, my kids are smarter than that. I would have to take every single toy away in the house for that to be effective. They just play with something else. You can't tell me spankings make them scared of you, or makes them abuse other children. That is such crap!
So tell me, what makes spankings abuse in your eyes?

I was abused as a child, and my parents were poor and overextended with a HUGE family.I am very vigilante about being a good mom.
I am a single Mom, and get No financial,emotional,or other help fom my sons' daddy. He is a bi polar addict, and Ive given up hope of any normal life with him as a co parent.
My question deals with my stress. Sometimes in the mornings, I wake up, give my 2 year old his bottle, put in a video, and relax on the couch while he plays. I have a hard time being chipper, and I dont like the toddler rough play that early.I wish i could be Judy homemaker...but, I do snap at him sometimes, and I discipline him strictly, because I know if I dont it will hurt him more in the long run to be bratty and unmanageable. .

l don't mean just a spank, but hitting them accross the back, dragging them, and slapping them accross the head (only a tap, but still)? Would you just call CPS or talk to her first? Would you intervene in front of the child?

My son is a healthy four year old boy, who is-was full potty trained for well over a year now, however he's had a setback.

While playing Playstation, within the past two months I've found him several times with wet pants. Each time I found him wet my temper grew more stern. This wasn't an accident while alseep or while traveling in the car, this was pure laziness. He didn't want to remove himself from the video game he as enjoying.

If there's anything more than Playstation my son loves it's his Cars movie action figures and playset. He spends hours playing with these toys, it's really heartwarming to see him enjoy himself so much.

With that said, just this past sunday, my son wet himself infront of the Playsttation again, and also soaked my couch too..this time, I LOST IT.

So...I marched up to his bedroon, and allowed him to witness as I took all the Cars toys and tossed them in a black garbage bag and placed it up in the attic, telling him why he can't have them.

My daughter had high fever from friday till yesterday afternoon. Since yesterday she does not have any fever. She loves her day care and her care taker. Also, we live in an apartment and she does not want to stay in the whole day even if she is sick. Did I do anything wrong in sending her off to day care. I have asked the day care lady to give me a call if she cries or has fever. I feel so guilty. But I know the day care lady will take care of her as good as me.

I'd only like to hear from experienced parents or couples. Please assure me, financially, it gets better in the years to come! I feel like although we make good money, there's never enough when it comes to small kids, mortgage, medical bills, new cars and house repairs...

I was always driven to school and never saw any of my school mates out of school to i was 14. And then i was forced to clubs where i never had any social life. My parents always had an excuss, you'll get muddy, i'm busy now? -worst excuss ever.

My life has been ruined because my parents 'cared' to much i'm so depressed.

I would rather live a few happy weeks of childhood and be raped and killed than having the life i have now.

Why don't parents let children free?

Those who have watched my posts. See how I have questioned the anger, hatred, and vile temper. That has become so much a part of these sites. Those that answer my questions. Blame it on "Lack of Parenting".
There seems to be a great many children, on these sites. With the wrong image of what being an Adult is all about. There also seems to be (so-called) Adults. That show their insecurities. By feeling the need to put others down. In order to make themselves superior.

QUESTION:
Do you feel these forms of insults. Are the direct cause of lack of Parenting? And would you correct your child (no matter the age) If you found that they were stooping to this level?

Personal note: I was raised, respecting others. I have a great deal of trouble understanding how someone would feel it acceptable to act like this. And it's not doing anyone any good.
Looking the other way. Doesn't seem to cure the problem.

What's your opinion on what should be done?

I am tired of finding bad sitters, it has interrupted my education and working potentential. Is there a website to rate them so others do not have bad experiences. Would it be illegal to start one? My local CCRS provides a list of child care providers but does not recommend one over another. I am not an over protective parent, but my daughter has been through a rape exam, my son hospitalized, and my youngest was given nyquil w/o my knowledge to keep him quite. My kids now tells me the sitter curses them out and I have overheard her being verbally abusive to my kids, her own and others in custody. I am sick of this sort of thing, but as a single parent what can I do. I am usually a good judge of character but it is impossible to know what people do in their homes and how they treat your children.

The UK news tells us this morning that not giving your children freedom to play outside and preventing them from climing trees, running about etc in case they hurt themselves is damaging to childrens development and prevents them learning about life and being independant. However, parents are constantly bombarded with news of paedophiles on every street corner and, should a child be lost or hurt, the parents are crucified for not taking proper care of the child. No wonder they're scared to let the kids out of their sight for 10 seconds.

How are you supposed to know what's right?
