I don't think taking the hardass approach means you were abused as a kid. I think that's a pretty ridiculous assumption to make, actually. I'm a hardass, strict, etc because its what I know. I wasn't "abused" as a kid. I got ass whippings that were well deserved. I raise my kids the same way. You screw up, you know punishment is coming. Not necessarily in the form of a spanking, either. I much prefer military style punishment. But if I can have a talk, and correct the problem, that's always my first choice. Every kid responds differently. Every parent parents differently. Some kids don't respond to spankings, just like some kids don't respond to talks. No one style is right for every parent, or every child.

VERY well put. I completely agree.

Hell I didn't even know you were on FB LOL!!!

Me, either. lol

It's obvious there is alot of people on this board who have been abused in their pasts and now passing their hardline of thought of discipline onto their own children, I feel bad for those of you who need do so. There is a way to teach life lessons, responsibility and such with compassion and not having to be a hardlined asshole.

I wanted to respond to this earlier, but got sidetracked with a deadbeat bet welcher.....

Mandy is one of those moms that is passive & hates any type of drama even with her kids. Im sure she called Peyton & told him to make sure Jasper has water & I have no doubt that Peyton did that. But I also believe as a previous member posted. He prolly looked at his water bowl & saw a couple inchs of water in the bowl & he left it at that.

I have to ride Mandy cause even though Peyton is a good kid. My daughter on the other hand has my blood & needs that firm hand and if her mother doesnt learn to stop avoiding conflict with the kids its going to haunt her with Aubrey cause she will run right over Mandy by the time she is in 3rd grade thus creating Huge problems in the future for Mandy & I.

One thing my friend Jason told me right after my divorce was that "pushover and single mom" NEVER belong in the same sentence. He told me I needed to get ready and brace myself for the road ahead because if I wanted to be successful as a single mom, I'd have to be the hardass even in situations where I don't want to be.

That's true with anyone really though... a child will only reach for the boundaries set before them. If there are no boundaries, well then you know how that ends. She's a GREAT person, so I hope she finds that level ground soon because teenage girls are much tougher to get control of.

Well my daughters stepbrother Peyton is 9 years old & its his job to take care of their dog (JASPER), Yesterday I noticed he was at the door barking & barking. I told Peyton, Make sure to go out there & give that dog water in this heat & go check on him every couple hours. I brought my dog Buttkiss inside cause its hot. I told their mother that they should think about bringing him in and keeping him in his cage during the hot part of the day.

Well this morning I wake up & walk outside to have my morning coffee cause the sun is on the front side of their house & shady in the back. Well I find Jasper deceased laying right by the back door. Poor little guy was loyal right to the end. Well I go to check his water bowl & its completely empty, Also noted it wasn't tipped over. It was the way it should be,

My question is I want Peyton to understand the responsibility of animals & that they are living breathing creatures & not just toys. I am not certain if he passed from heat or maybe he didnt have enough water. I know this is going to be a moment that he remembers for the rest of his life. But it appears he wasn't given water at all yesterday while I was gone. I don't know if I should scold Peyton or console him.

I have met Mandy and she's a sweetheart....NOT a hardass so I doubt living with her is like living with GI Jane from a childs stand point. That being said, it's wrong to put this solely on the kid when there's no clear lines drawn in the sand for him to see before hand the magnitude a responsibility like this brings with it.

Where the fuck have you been? There was some gold back there that you could have chimed in on in a timely manner.

Sleeping, actually. I took half the day off.

I went to pull it out, and it's got two flat tires and a bent rim. Lulz! Daddy fforgot he did a couple barrel rolls in it one day. And I haven't messed with getting a new rim and tires yet. I don't even know where to look for them. Haha.
