    How to hit without leaving any marks.
    How to turn ordinary household items into weapons of torture.
    How to feed a kid as little as possible but still keep them alive and able to function in the world.
    Why the thumbs down? Part of the question reads “… or ones you truly did not care for and are now opting to avoid them.” These are things my mom used on my siblings and I, not ones I use.

    opting to avoid swearing and beating.
    its too stressful, and painful to bother with. its unhealthy for me, the children and the sort of family i would like.
    lol!! i love the first two answers.
    i will probably be a different parent in some many ways.
    some times my parents have been very supportive(fiancially mostly) which helped our relationship, i would be a supportive parent but some times also in a different way…
    mostly i hope my two children in the future will be healthy, happy and very capable individuals.
    i wouldn’t be over emotional, over dramatic which some times my parents were very often especially more when the younger i was.
    they are at their best now, and even in their own relationship together.

    1. Butt whoopings
    2. No hats indoors
    3. Answer elders with “yes ma’am or yes sir”
    4. No locked doors in my house
    5. Nothing below a B on a report card (anything less and you’re on punishment)
    Those are probably the main ones. I probably let them get away with a little more than my parents did, but I’m still pretty strict.

    The Total OPPOSITE: I’ve Never Parented like my parents did…
    I don’t Neglect my kids..
    I STOPPED the cycle of abuse, when I became a parent..
    My kids & I are Very Close, but are free to Discover themselves as a whole person, and be free to make their own decisions and mistakes.. & to learn from their choices.. and consequences of those choices…
    I will NEVER PARENT As my parents taught me…
    GOOD LUCK with your parenting skills..

    The counting trick! My Mom was a counter and now I am too. It really does clear kids out of the room, it’s just my boys are not quite as fast as my sisters and I were. Well the 7yr old has caught on but his 5yr old brother is argumentative about going to his room. My Mother could clear a room before she got to 10 and we never knew what would happen if she got to 10 because we never had the gumption to find out.

    I remember the fact that my parents were overly strict and they gave me more whippings than my sister ever had and I was never a bad kid. Not fair at all. I will not do the same to my kids.

    making a man out of me by not babying. you fell down, you dealt with it. you broke a bone, you paid to get it set and casted. you stole dad’s ride, you spent a night in the slammer.

  8. AVN Says:

    Reason w/ your child first. If you are extremely upset, give at least 10 minutes to yourself & tell talk to a child in a calm voice.

    I finally figured out how to make that cool sound when pulling my belt out.
