and I'm talking all the way off the bump/nest. I was on another board because they have a Coping with Chronic Conditions and figured "hey, I'll check out the todder boards".
There was a post about someone's 2ish year old cussing and how to stop it. The very first response was to put a jalapeno in the kids mouth and the mom responded "thanks, I'll try that" Whaaaaaaat? There were a few other posts about spanking the kid and one that said she should put him in a chair facing a wall for 45 minutes.
Holy cow did it all make me glad for our normal, rational people around here. I may have seen some things on the boards that I may not agree with or raise my eyebrows but nothing like a jalapeno to the mouth.
Re: I ventured far, way to far off our boards
Geez a friggin Japaleno!?!?! I wouldn't even put one in my mouth and I talk like a truck driver!
On the other point, 45 minutes in time out is a life time for a toddler. Maybe the parent should look at their own language and see if the kiddo is just mimicing them.
Glad you came back
No kidding! The original poster even admitted that the kid learned it from her and she was trying to stop but that it was really hard. I had a mouth like a sailor prior to kids too but I knew that I better replace my words as soon as I had them and as much as they walk around saying things like " oh rats!" and "awwww man" super loud and with such emphasis makes me soooo glad I did.
I'm glad I came back too, even the Chronic Conditions board is making me scratch my head. Today someone is complaining that their Dr. treats them like a drug seeker and probably isn't going to refill their vico. dine yet she straight ups says she refuses to consider any other treatments or medications. Umm seriously lady you are making yourself look like a drug seeker, sure she probably has pain but being unwilling to even try anything else makes it look like all you want it the meds and not to solve your pain issues.
It really makes me shake my head, I mean how is it that our board as a whole (the nest/knot/bump) are filling with basically intelligent women with rational responses and another board be so filled with cuckoos.
