hahaha
do you have kids ?
there are different ways to raise kids
those techniques might work for some
but i keep it real with my kids..
my ways of parenting are not like that at all...
many will not agree with my ways but...
my kids are polite and respectful
very intelligent and creative
well behaved children...
cuz if they aint they going to be in some shit with daddy
no I dont kids yet and I want it to stay that way for awhile
just remember
" no balloons, no party "
they forgot one very important one... "why, <answer> why, <answer> why ect ect"
there is one simple answer. SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is reckoned by experts that a 4 year old can ask upto 400 questions a day.Quote:

I bet talking with a little kid while you're stoned is pretty silly because of all the crazy things they come up with
Haha, that made me lol. I could definitely do that. Im so glad I dont have kids at the moment. Maybe eventually Ill calm down and settle down and see whats up.Quote:

He only did it when I was trying to concentrate on other things temporarily and a simple, "That's great, honey. I see you" usually did the trick. But it still really got on my nerves. I see moms sometimes in at the grocery store and hear their kids doing that and am very glad mine got past that stage!
I stumbled across that same article. what interested me more was to read that oil prices are down. $50 per barrel.
i'ma try to break that habbit in my son before it even starts lol.. i'm going to teach him something i was never taught... patients..
I don't know how to teach a toddler or a child patience. They just have short fuses, as a rule, and I'm not sure the area of the brain that controls patience is even developed to the point that they can learn it. Have you read about ways to help raise a patient child? I'd like to know them so I can help with that when I have grandchildren--or, possibly pretty soon here, a niece or nephew if my younger sister gets pregnant this year. With our son, he got more patient as he grew up and his attention span got longer. But when he was small, it was a lost cause. Or at least it seemed that way!
The most annoying thing my daughetr says is "Please" . Don't get me wrong, for a 3yo my daughter is unbelievably polite and that's a great thing. When she wants something she will always say "please". When she gets something she will always say "thank you". We, my wife and I, always get compliments on how polite she it and we think it's great.
The problem is that she expects to get what she wants when she says "please". The conversation goes something like this:
"Daddy, can I please have a cookie?"
"No honey, you've already brushed your teeth and it's time for bed"
"PLEASE"
"No, you can not have a cookie"
"But daddy, I said the nice word"
nice word, of course, is "please"
"No, you can't have a cookie!"
"PLEASE!"
"No"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"PLEASE!"
"Ahhhh, where's your mother?"
ahh
im annoyed by just reading that list
just another reason to get a vasectomy when i turn 18 :D

But that article is eh, could be better.
i dunno yet but i'll let you know when i figure it out lol :p and no i haven't read any articles.. i just assume if he's screaming his head off, make him wait a few minutes for whatever it is he wants...Quote:

You are the best teacher.
reading that article just keeps reminding me why i hate little kids. i want like 2 children, but i wish they could go straight to being teenagers. it would be so much easier that way and less stressful.
i see a lot of little kids. last week at work, there was a little boy, probably 5 or 6, doing the whole why thing. his mom did stay pretty calm though. me on the other hand...
BWAHAHAHAHAAH
You think a teenager would be easier. Not if you didn't know them, and raise them I can guarentee that one.
