Because I Said So, which she says is the appropriate response when your four year old wants a cookie ten minutes before suppertime and won't accept a "no."
"Who negotiates with a four year old about something like that?" she asks. "You're the adult. Act like it."
Alas, I suspect her book plans are on hold, as despite her claims for years that she had no intentions of having children herself, she is now the mother of infant twins. But I think she will raise those kids with good sense. They will not get cookies before supper.
Back to my criticizing. I ride the bus to work. It's the best deal in town: $64 for a monthly pass for someone else to drive me while I read my book without guilt (if you're on a bus, it's not like you can be cleaning the bathroom or working on editing your novel, can you,celine bag?) versus $100 a month for parking plus gas plus having to buy a second car, which we would have to do. No thank you to an investment of at least $10,oakley sunglasses outlet,000 (what are used cars going for these days?) plus maintenance and insurance.
Usually, people on the bus are really nice. They mind their own business. They knit, they read, they listen to music. There is one guy who I thought looked really angry and tough all the time but then I looked at what he was reading: the Bible. Maybe he just was annoyed that the language had changed from the beautiful verbiage in King James to some of the new stuff.
But sometimes, there are people with children. And sometimes, these children make a mess.
I do not blame the children for this. If you give your little girl a soda and she spills all the ice on the seat (yes,longchamp pas cher, the cup had a lid, but she took the lid off, didn't she?), it's your fault, not hers. It's your fault for not knowing that little kids spill things. You, sir, are a bad father.
If you give a bag of popcorn to your kindergartner, you know some of it is going to end up on the floor. If you give a bag of popcorn to a kindergartner on the bus - even though there is no eating or drinking on the bus,Toms Shoes Sale, it is your fault if the child spills popcorn all over the floor. It is really your fault if your child spills food and you make no attempt to clean it up.
You, madam, are a bad mother.
And you do not improve your status as Bad Mother by telling your little boy that you are going to "beat [his] ass] for spilling the popcorn.
Let's come to an agreement on some basic definitions of good parenting. Let's agree that good parents do not cuss at their children,oakley sunglasses. Let's agree that good parents do not threaten to beat their children. ("Beating" "the occasional swat on the butt")
Let's agree that if you are a good parent, you never tell your little boy that you are going to "beat [his] ass."
Let's agree that if you are a good parent, you never ask your seven year old little girl,louis vuitton online, "What the f*** are you doing?"
If this is how you are willing to speak to your children in public, where other people are listening, how do you act when you are at home,Hogan, unobserved?
Let's agree that even though we might not agree on many parenting issues and that I, as a non-parent, might not have standing in your eyes to make parenting decisions, that cussing and threatening your children is not a good idea. It's not good for them and it's not good for any of us. Related articles:
