I actually would love a job working for the people that manufacture the magic eraser. I owe them far more than I can ever repay.
Kid draws with essentially anything that isn’t a sharpie on the walls? Magic marker and slight pressure has you covered. Almost no paint loss, even against markers and pens.
Wrong.
My dad would say that.
I suppose now I have to show how this is relevant…
It’s because he is a good parent. And he has infact said that. Therefore what you said isn’t true in this case, which makes your entire point false.
Saying it about another kid has no effect on a person’s “parent score” as it’s not their kid.
Also, being a “good parent” isn’t a permanent state of being. It’s constantly moving. We’re all human. Some days I’m a good parent and some days I have a hangover and I’ll happily plant the kids in front of a movie to get 2 hours of peace.
If your dad said that about you, he was, at the time, IMO, being a bad parent. Whether or not he continued to do so doesn’t change his actions at that time. It also doesn’t really matter, as looking at one non major point in time to judge a person’s salt is a joke at best.
Back to Tumps Second Year.
YouTube headquarters shooting. 4 people injured. Suspect shot herself. Being reported she was a white woman in a head scarf (which made me think of @loppar 's description of Syrians) … here we go.
Wanna form a pool on potential Trump tweets and lefty marches?
Blame Muslims
Blame guns
Blame head scarves
Blame women
I know 3 kids that refer to me as their uncle. Probably the greatest uncle too, doing chin-ups with them on my back last easter in front of all the fat lazy irresponsible parents and grandparents.
One of those is the same kid that I had to take a water gun from at 4th of July. This was cause I was the only “adult” willing to do anything about the fact that the kid was pissing all of the adults off with it, so i had to take it.
But anyway…
I’ll try to help you understand here.
It’s a bad move on the parents to come to our house and expect their kid to sit quietly while they chat. It’s a bad move to not have a plan to handle the kids predictable energy. It’s a bad move to not address it once it happens. It’s a bad move when they don’t pickup on the fact that the hosts are having to keep an eye on THEIR kid cause he is picking everything up without asking…a habit I assume he has learned at daycare, where he is supposed to pick everything up, which I understand, it’s just that the parents should’ve emphasized that they weren’t at daycare and they shouldn’t touch anything without asking.
My parents weren’t dumb enough to do that and if they found themselves in that situation they would addressed it real fucking quick…and I would never do that cause it’s an irresponsible thing to do, and I know that…as a non parent.
What the fuck negative?? The goddamm point is that I was the one who had to suggest this, not the fucking parent. Wtf!?! And this was 30min after I was told by one of the visiting ham beasts that I could never handle kids cause I wouldn’t have the energy? Dafuq? I want to go to the park, does that sound like I’m lacking energy? Think I won’t use the playground equipment like a child? Being short has some advantages… like 4 if I remember correctly, and this is one of them!
All very good points. But in a vacuum, you rewarded a kid for negative behavior. It doesn’t make you a monster. It makes you human. The fact that you’re not a parent seems to be holding you back from understanding the difference. That being said, I know plenty of non parents that get that as they’ve had more experience working with kids.
Of the ~6 daycares I’ve attended in my youth, at none of them was I supposed to pick everything up. They’re generally very organized and rotate through a schedule and planned curriculum. They don’t just drop 12 kids in a room. This isn’t toy story.
You suggested rewarding a kid’s bad behavior with no knowledge of the context and they didn’t automatically agree?
GASP.
Here it is lol. Wound still sore. Least we’re making progress
The only thing that will stop a bad cat video with a gun is a good cat video with a gun.
Too soon?
I winced, then chuckled.
Actually the tweet in your article is damn near presidential. Between that and a good week of tariffs he hasn’t totally pissed me off this week yet.
Didn’t he just propose to send the military to man the border in lieu of a wall Congress won’t fund?
Oh god damnit…
Generally I agree with you, and you have some valid points.
The thing is, this is getting to be like those threads where someone pontificates about squats or dead lifts and when challenged responds “Well I don’t squat at all. But when I do…”
You have some strong opinions and good ideas about parenting, which is great but as Mike Tyson said “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”.
If she appears even remotely Muslim, Trump will, of course, tweet something inappropriate. If it was a white, Christian male, not a peep (see Austin bombings).
And if they join the military they’re ready to hurry up and wait.
Maybe he’ll be confused if she’s white and a Muslim. World view can’t square it.
My first take with the details I have is jealous wife/GF. Husband was running around with someone at work. Four wounded and she kills herself before police enter the premises… doesn’t fit normal mass shooting protocol. Seems like you would go for more than four.
Also the woman factor takes away a ton of that. When’s the last time we had a female mass shooter?
If it wasn’t for the headscarf, she could have been Iranian. Persian women in general are very smart and very beautiful… but they don’t like being cheated on, to put it very mildly.
Well remember, this was California. There’s like 32 genders out there. We might be unintentionally oppressing the late xe by misgendering xir.
They drive men to murder so in a way, they’re accomplices.
