Classic case of abuse of authority

[Well-hung Start]

My brother I got our asses busted when we acted out in public as kids...19 months or otherwise. Only took us a couple times to realize when mom or dad says sit there and be quiet, you sit there and be quiet. My brother does the same with his 17 month old son, and I plan on doing the exact same with my children.

Guess we're in the minority?

Not only in the minority, but CNN is just dying to set an example of abusive parents like you destroying the liberal agenda!

"Logic and compassion" doesn't get a child to behave...discipline does. A healthy fear of punishment from my parents kept me out of trouble as a child, and it taught me a thing or two about the proper way to act as an adult.

From my observations today, most coddled children and their acquiescing parents don't know anything about that...

Hmmmmmmmmmm....... Discipline and punishment in your mind equates to physical pain. (Spare the rod and spoil the child, right?)

And this punishment must start at what age? Two days? one year? It must be before 17 months because your brother, whose parental skills you so admire is already whipping his 17 month old.

You were lucky. Try a sock full of nickels. Ouch.

The "backhand" and other moves such as Sweeping the Leg, Power Drivers and gouging of the eye balls were all for public use only.
When we were behind closed doors, it was all about Soda cans in pillow sheets. Mom and the Louisville Slugger. I swear she could bat clean up for the Yankees.
Dad had an old car battery in the basement, that he used to hook us up to and then make us stand in a pan of water. He stopped that after my older brother developed a limp, that causes him to walk in circles today.

...well, when my Dad was in a good mood, he'd purposely miss my head when throwing his empty beer bottles at me.

Heyas,

Of course, you don't have to have a lot of mass to instill fear. My mom used a flyswatter, and man, did that thing hurt....it left little waffle shaped welts.

Let's not forget the old fashion yard stick. The plastic ones lasted longer, but the old school wooden ones with the metal tip hurt like a SOB.

Needless to say, I sat up straight, put my feet on the floor, ate my dinner and did my homework.

Nu

What a bunch of wusses. My parents made me wear a meat helmet and walk through bear country.

Anyone else fly around on the flight deck with their parents when they were about the same age as that kid?

The rule was, if I said anything, or touched anything, I went to the back with Mom. I was on my very best behavior around airplanes, although I was known for crawling under the Flight Engineer's (Dad's) panel and sacking out.

Can you imagine the holy hell that would get raised if your two and a half year old was on on the flight deck with you these days? Back then, going to work with Dad, was just going to work with Dad and the 727 had all kinds of room up front.

Anyone else notice that kids these days seem unable to focus? Really makes you wonder what is in the food.

What movie?

Breakfast Club?

Amen bro! Amen!

Got my a$$ beat with a belt a few times and I think I turned out fine....of course my honey might argue that.

 

[capt. megadeth]

bye. bye job... bye bye job....

hello.... would like fries with that...

bye bye job.....

Probably a blessing in disguise for her....

You probably make more at McDonald's than being a commuter FA.

 

[capt. megadeth]

Mommy needs to learn how to back hand her child

LOL! Yup!

 

[RadioClash]

Getting smacked a few times as a kid and told that you suck a few times won't crush little Timmy's spirit. If anything it builds character.

Its a he!! of a lot better than the BS these days of giving every single kid a trophy just for participating in a sport, you came in last place and you rode the bench every game but hey here is a super duper trophy just for showing up. What did that just teach the kid? Don't put forth any effort and you will get a trophy just for being present.

Hello entitlement. That crap is worse than getting knocked down a few times.

 

[HarryParatestes]

Smack the kid, punch the flight attendant. Probably some old nag who's husband left her so she became a "Cart Donkey" because that was her "Dream" job as a kid.

I never got spanked a day in my life. But you better believe there was the threat of it. Dad would start to pop his leather belt and that would change everything. I don't remember it but my parents swear I finally earned a spanking once (dad had to do it because mom didn't have the heart though she put up a good front) and I showed up for it with little golden books stuffed down the back of my pants. It was everything dad could do to stifle a laugh but he let me go without a tanned a$$. I got off easy and new it. No more bad behavior. This b.s. of reasoning and bargaining with kids does nothing but set the stage for kids controlling parents.

Your story with the books is cute and funny.

ever hear of a condom?

 

[samballs]

Of course she's going to whine and cry about how that mean FA insulted her kid. Everyone loves to hate the airlines these days.

She claims the FA told her to drug her obnoxious kid, but claims she made no threat. I'm betting she told that FA "I'm gonna beat your skinny a__ as soon as we park". She seems two steps from a trailer.

Sure she was skinny

I did the same with my son. All I have to do is look at him the right way and he knows to stop.....very handy in public places.

My favorite thing to watch is when he sees another kid have a temper tantrum, and he gives him a look of "what the heck is wrong with you?" He gives the parents who are desperately trying to control their child the same look. It cracks me up.
