PHOTOS: "You are doing it wrong" II
- Thread starter Melensdad
- Start date
I was the oldest of five boys. No sisters.
Mom was Pentecostal.
I took it on the chin or the butt for all of their sins.
Ralphie in "Christmas Story," laying on the bed waiting for dad's punishment when he got home,,,, that was my life.
Things got better in my late teens. First I saved my dad's ass at an engagement party we he got drunk and said the wrong things about the bride. Five twenty year olds began to take him out. I kinda got in their way. I was 17.
Months later he was about to slap my younger brother because mom had ordered it. Laurie did not deserve it. I grabbed dad's arm mid swing and said "NO!" He took one look at my face, looked at Mom, and surrendered.
Mom lost her power that day. My brothers suffered very few "spankings" after that.
Spankings are necessary but can be and administered with caution and the learning occurs. Otherwise, they are just examples of cruelty.

"Discipline" is not abuse.
"Spankings" LEAD TO discipline.
Discipline is knowing right and wrong, and the will and the intention to not do wrong.
You can't reason with a four-year-old..... they lack the ability to understand.
A spanking, (when administered with clarity and purpose), is how you reason with someone who is unreasonable.
A wooden spoon works better than a bare hand..... you don't want a child to fear your hand, just the spoon.

Only when they are justified and never when they are cruel.
I'm not against spankings.
But telling a child," wait until your dad gets home" makes an enemy of Momand and of Dad. Worse than the spoon.
Laying on the bed gives one time to think, not about behavior but how mean parents can be.
I had brothers take that waiting for dad to come home time to pack and run away.
Consequently, they did not learn the correct lesson.
Punishments should be administered quick and in comparison, to the offense.

Usually I post funny stuff I find on line in this thread, but today I have a photo I took myself this morning in the Portland OR airport. I had just landed, and like most older guys, I made a beeline to the bathroom as soon as I got off the plane.
The sign I saw above the toilet made me stop short. Me being me, my brain immediately goes to “…The reason that sign is there, is because someone either complained about the taste of toilet water, or someone sued the airport because no one told them not to drink the toilet water…”
Really? Is this where we are as a society? Yea, don’t answer that…
