I think we need a new board!!!!!!!!

jessicada76 · May 2009

Hey Punk do you think you can get a new board created and help us all be perfect parents just like YOU!!!!!!!! Well, that is how you come across anyway - really doubt you are IRL! We all make mistakes and Callips was asking for ways to prevent her child from getting hurt - whether that is a swat on the butt or a firm no! I think you need to step off your high horse and get a life! What happened to supporting each other and not running each other into the ground!

punkfiction · May 2009

i am not running her into the ground, jessica. im telling her to wise up. she knows her child is going to run when she opens the door - so why the heck isn't she carrying her, holding her hand tightly, putting her in the car first, etc. that has nothing to do with "perfect parenting" - it has to do with common sense. .

marriedchick06 · May 2009

I agree. Saying that she needs to carry her if she won't hold her hand is crazy. I can't carry DD everytime, (granted I have a big ol belly) but even without that there are times, I need/expect her to hold my hand and sometimes she gets away. It doesn't make me a bad parent! And with #2 here in 10 days and me carrying an infant seat me carrying DD and the infant seat is NOT going to be possible, so DD will have to learn that she needs to stay by my side and hold my hand going from the car to the house, or what not.And if she takes off for the road, I can't say I won't swat her on the bottom to remind her its not okay and defiantely not safe. I hope its not an issue but I can't play it all out to be perfect.

punkfiction · May 2009

and like i said in the other post-

jessicada, a 2.5 year old cannot put herself in a dangerous situation. a parent not watching their child and not preventing behavior is what makes it dangerous. i am sorry you don't like the attitude that preventing behavior is important to parenting and discipline, but you also don't have a 2.5 yo.

but you want to call me a crazy poster bc i have the common sense to prevent a dangerous situation from happening?? LOL okay.

well it IS possible to do.

but that isn't the issue. the issue is that her daughter runs when the door is open. ok - that is preventable. thats the point. and if i were you and my dd did it, then id take 1 child to the car and then the other. until the older one knew the routine. now aidan comes out and waits by the car while i put sawyer in and out. but that became the routine. but i was not going to "expect" her to do it bc "i needed" her to. good behavior needs to be taught - not just bad behavior punished.

You are a pregnant girl that can't breath as it is - we need to stop wasting our breath on this! Why did I ever have concern that she was posting more on 6-12?!

soontobecapek · May 2009

the OP was a boigger issue than this, and if it werent running off it would be another problem... You can't honestly believe that EVERYTHING can be fixed by saying no.... that may stop them this time, but won't prevent it in the future... I also think it's crazy to expect her to carry her kid everywhere.... Lastly, I don't think you having an opinion is a bad thing, however the way you said it, you were very much so making yourself seem like a much better parent than anyone else.

VERY WELL SAID! You climbed in my head and said what I couldn't get out! Thanks STBC!

punkfiction · May 2009

youre right STBC, swatting your child will prevent a negative behavior in the future. and i stand by it when i say that is lazy.

aaaand i didnt say to carry her kid everywhere. but nice exaggeration - so please go re-read.

bridesrighthand · May 2009

Punk, I dont' know you, I've only seen you on here a few times...but you really do come across as having a "holier than thou" attitude. YOU might want to re-read some of your posts and realize how you come across. What you said could have had a lot of great points, but the WAY you said it, is what was very "i'm a perfect mom". Just my 2cents.

I didn't say that it will prevent negative behavior, I said telling a child no won't. I was agreeing with MC when I said you can't expect someone to carry their child.... So you should probably read exactly what was said before assuming I am putting words in you mouth, and while putting 1 kid in the car and going back for the other might work at home it won't work while you are out alone.... So come up with something that will.... That's great you feel it's lazy, I don't, but that was the point of my post, IT IS OK to have a differing opinion.

punkfiction · May 2009

you can keep your 2 cents.

this board was meant for those with 24mo+ and if those were the mothers answering, then the answers would be more helpful. but alas, people are going to continue to pretend as if an 18 month old is the same as a 2.5 yo and argue.

and i dont care how i say it, BRH. you should learn that.

I don't KNOW she is going to do this. She has run down the street before but this is only the 3rd time when leaving in the AM. She often just holds my hand, walks to the car, and climbs on in. As you said yourself, you can never guess what the morning will be like and I am sure as hell not going to carry my kid as a practice on the chance that this morning she may decide to test limits.

I have common sense. And more attacks like this is what gets everyone's dander up. I have replied pretty civily to you but I keep getting, lazy, put my kid in danger, no common sense, etc.

If you suggest carrying her to avoid the chance of running off and there is always a chance a child will run, than maybe you should design a Bjorn for 2 to 5 year olds.

no, again. not what i meant, but go ahead and resume thinking what you want.

but now its a game for her - so have fun with that.

MWAHAHAHA board for 24+ months...that's frickin funny, what a cheap shot. Why don't you go join another board if you don't like the regular moms on here? There was no 12-24 month board when the core moved up from 6-12 so here we are, and we're here to stay. Deal. With. It. That's not a valid argument yo, so save it for someone that cares (aka no one here). I'm cool with your opinions on butt swating / nose picking / thumb sucking / ear piercing / blow jobs, but we all can be here if we want.

and so what was wrong with going to 12-24 months? where you actually have something in common with the age group that is listed? so then perhaps people WITH 24mo+ could have a board to go to without having to listen to the grovel from parents who don't have children their childs age/

Moral of the story-- presentation is king.

I like you punk, but even if you have the best advice in the world, if you continue to sh!t on everyone that crosses your path, no one will be interested in your great advice. There are better things in life than coming off as in internet b!tch with too many opinions. You and I have plenty of advice for those with the younger kiddos since we have survived that phase already, but the whole vinegar/honey fable comes to mind. And no, it's not about "winning people over", but rather not being a bossy boots that everyone is sick of dealing with.

1. I can't relate with most of the things they talk on that board! 2. If we left there would be a whole 2 of you on here. It's not like we all just came out of the woodwork and started posting. We have been on this board for a good year now.

folan, i am sorry that this board has no other option than "support" - no one can say anything else except offering (((big hugs))) but im not going to pretend as if swatting your kid is good - in any situation - bc i think my opinions should be heard. i dont care if anyone listens or not - thats up to them. this board doesn't like opposing opinions - notice 95% of the people on that thread said "to each their own" or some sort - but im sorry, swatting your kid is not right no matter what someone thinks.

oh so I was slightly irritated, but now that was soo uncalled for I am livid with your self-righteous belittling attitude... How dare you assume anyone doesn't have experience with this stuff. I have 1 son, who is 19 months old.... HOWEVER I had custody of 2 older children for quite some time... I HAVE been through this... I HAVE had 2 year olds before... While I no longer have them I do feel I am qualified to give advice because I HAVE been there.... You don't know that any of these other ladies haven't been in the same situation... How dare you pretend you know what you are talking about... No wonder nobody on 6-12 likes you.... I sort of felt bad with everyone always saying things about you.... but now I totally get it... You have absolutely no right to tell people whether or not they are qualified or not to answer a question on a PUBLIC forum.... Get over yourself

Halo79RN · May 2009

punk, I think folan's point is that you get your opinion across better when you use sugar rather than fire. you offer the suggestions to help a person avoid spanking their child, not ridicule them for doing so even once. She's looking for advice... all you did was turn her off to your view, instead of presenting what is a good viewpoint.

i hardly want respect from you and dont care how you discipline your dd. i am not threatened, but jessicada seems to feel as if she knows it all bc she has a child a year younger than mine or calips. and that is not the case.

Particular situations aside, you do tend to come across brash. Typically you do it with humor so it is acceptable, but you could change your tone quite a bit from ridicule to constructive.

Again, I like ya. Agreed (((big hugs))) doesn't do sh!t for me when I am so frustrated with a situation that I am posting it on the internet. But you could soften it up, fo shiz.
