Condencending? You have proven my point with your stint in Texas. Your advice to this kid was this:Quote:

No offence, but you're a dumbass.
If you know your mom has a tendency to freak out, why wouldn't you be more careful with it, and WHY after you KNEW you were grounded, would you even begin to tell your mom where you actually were?
Correct answer to her question: Studying in my room.
Never fails.
No offence, you were dumb and you kind of deserve the punishment. Take it with a spoonful of sugar and deal with it. Who knows what your parents will resort to next? They love you, they're scared and they're relatively ignorant about weed. Inform them, talk to them, work it out but DO NOT get caught again.
Money doesn't buy happiness... peace of mind gets you there.Quote:

Littlewing, the best advice I can give you is think about what you REALLY want out of life. It may take a while since you're young, but once you figure out what you truely want, everything will fall in it's right place and nobody can hold you back from your dreams, not even your parents. For now the best thing you can do is what you're told to do, but once you figure everything out, GO WITH IT.
And P4B, you challenge your kid to a fight in the backyard if he steps out of line? Teaching them to settle disputes with violence? Good parenting.
IF he felt his underage ass was big enough to rule over the person that pays the bills the backyard was his option.Quote:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
i definately don't agree that parents should be listened to 100%.... alot of parents have a tendancy to overreact... whether it be some power trip (can't lie either, some parents are on power trips..) then there are those who care, that are just misinformed... and of course, the oens who went through something similar and think you're gonna wind up just like them if you keep on it, so they try to stop it...
my only advice is stop lying... if you say you're gonna quit, then do so. if you have no intention of quitting, then don't tell them you will... it probably won't be pretty, but lying makes the situation worse... it adds a new level of defiance ontop of the already defiant nature of 'i'm going to do it whether you liek it or not'
in my years i've noticed something... the parents who don't want their kid to do something, but hte kid tells them they're goign ot anyway... eventually most come around to some type of compromise or accept it.... the ones that get lied to and are told you will stop, then find out you're still doing it, usually trip out alot worse....
so if you don't plan to stop, tell them so... just my advice/observation...
i can't even begin to describe how ironic that statement is LMFAO....Quote:
sigh..
adults think they know everything.
also on a side note, the freedoms/rights applies to ADULTS.... go ask a cop if you don't believe me.... as long as the parent is providing the nessecities, they have every right to do anything they want, so long as it doesn't break any major law... such as neglect or abuse.... the only law regaurding confing you, is they cannot lock you in your room... they can send you to room and make you stay there as long as they like.... but they can't lock it from the outside (atleast in texas)....
other then that, your balls belong to your parents until you're 18 or emancipated.... (or someone else gets custody, which they then take the parental role and have every right hte parent has..)
oh yeah, also on the note of P4B taking his kid out in the back yard...
it's not like he beat his kids ass... he gave his child the option of stepping outside and proving whether he was man enough or not, or shutting hte hell up and dealing with the rules of the house..
seems perfectly fine to me.... beating your kid? no.... offering to swing it out like men (since he obviously thought he was a man lol) fine whatever lol.... there's a diffrence between abuse and fighting you know.... abuse is when the kid has no control over it, his son had the decision to make, and i guess he made his...
violence doesn't solve anything, but sure is a great way to put a child in check when they think they're man enough to do such a thing :jointsmile: i don't beleive in violence but bet your ass if my son reaches 16 or so and decides he wants to fight me... i'll oblige... i don't even spank my child (i've done it twice (and not hard either, probably coudln't even really feel it), and he now knows when daddy says no, he means NO) but if he wants to fight me, then so be it.... i hope it never comes to that... but i'm not gonna send the wrong message and let him think i'm scared of HIM... and he can do whatever he wants cuz i'm too afraid to lay my foot down...
the irony you see is topped by irony of your own, in criticizing my writing with irony, you therefore ironically proved the statement to be true in this case.Quote:

ha:hippy:ha:hippy:ha:hippy:
on a slightly more serious note, ive noticed whenever someone has an issue with a parent it always turns into such saucy conversation! :0
even more seriously, to each his own. im gonna be an ill parent in my own way, just like all other parents who parent in their ill ways.
Listen to your mommy and daddy kid.. or learn to hide your habbits a bit better.
