We Like Our Kids, Except When We Don't

You are sooo right.! Look around us! When we were raising kids, how many 14 yr olds got pregnant, how many ditched Church & School? How many shot their school mates? How many joined gangs?
You knew exactly WHO did drugs & everybody avoided them like the Plague.
A well deserved Spanking always did the trick.
As for this kid, another approach, with immediate results, is to pick the little nightmare up by wrapping an arm around the thighs, clutch close to your chest, his face out and hang him upside down til the space waster quits. Then leave the shopping cart where it is and out to the car you go for a quick ride home & into the corner for a time out.

Amen, sister! A quick pop on the butt stops this nonsense. Those of us who grew up that way have a lot more self-control and respect. Time outs and all this liberal child-rearing crap are raising a generation of self-absorbed little monsters.

Hey, Its a TV commercial......not real.....save your beat the Children rant for reality.

This commercial is anything but new, causing alot of unnecessary attention. The ironic part is that MOST adults act this way, even if they were BEATEN or RAISED correctly. So we grew up in the sixtys and were raised in a whole different manner, but we are human and will act any which way we please regardless of HOW we were raised. Shoving another generations parental guidance. Expressing violence in public hardly solves anything, especially since it's more embarassing than anything else. My children have learned and actually listen, however, they have acted out, but I never beat them to teach. Embarassment and beating is not the answer, if you do this then expect to have worse problems down the line.

AMEN!!!! We need to discipline our children, otherwise you have spoiled brats shooting down their teachers and classmates in schools and at their jobs. Its so sad that people find in necessary to let their child run their families and life's. Its so sad to me, get a clue! Children need rules and leaders in their lives and as a gift from God we need to nurture them and show them the right way to behave not just in public but anywhere. I have 4 boys and they know better than to act like this little boy in the video but mostly they know not to disobey and not to disrespect their parents or any other adult. The problem is that parents don't spank their kids anymore and there always seams to be no stable father figure around. That's the root of the problems, God made the man as head of the home and if you have the head to busy or not around we get kids like this.....

Relax, this is a TV commercial. This is not reality. These are paid actors. Save your "hate the liberals" rant for reality. Although it seems you have some difficulty seperating the two.

Dear Richelle,

As an EDUCATED mother of identical twins with a doctorate in English literature and Rhetoric, I encountered a few errors in your pathetic attempt at an insult, so, let me educate you:

"Ronnie - Shut your flatulant pie hole. Nobody wants to read a 1000 word comment - I read about 10 words & get fed up. U probably don't have kids cause no one would touch that sawdust fishy smelling crap you got. Who the hell are you to deem how many kids people should have? Keep your half-retarded comments to yourself & your 50 cats."

1) Learn to spell.
2) It is spelled flatulent, and does not pertain to the mouth. That would be burping, or eructation.
3) Numerals are generally spelled out.
4) It should be "got fed up," however, using "got" lacks formality and conveys ignorance.
5) Limit contractions as they are a sign of laziness.
6) "because" should be used in place of cause.
7) "Sawdust fishy smelling crap you got"- I would love an explanation to this metaphor because this is simply verbal vomit.
8) "half-retarded," unfortunately, I will assume you do not understand the definition of retarded/ retard because it is used completely incorrectly above.
9) I have identical twins, so you are wrong.
10) I am allergic to cats. I prefer birds.

So Richelle, next time you decide to post an ATTEMPT at an insult, let's make sure it is not POORLY written and decent for the public to read. Personally, I feel my intelligence has been insulted after perusing your garbage more so than my opinion on the aforementioned blog. My young children could think of something more creative than that. How about this, provided that it is indeed the holiday season, I will personally help you write your next blog. The other option you have would be to go to college and become educated. However, since I doubt very much your future endeavors in academia, perhaps a five dollar grammar book will be of use to you. After all, you do not want to humiliate yourself again.

Sincerely,

Ronnie

Your comment ignores the fact that the commercial was used as a starting off point for a series of questions that were aimed at real issues.

1111,
"acting like this is real" obviously you don't have children.....I have spent years avoiding nice restaurants and stores with my children of a certain age.....a spirited 2 year old certainly can, does and will act just like this.......

Had a similar experience in Target a few months ago.....except my little guy was confined screaming to the cart, as everyone who walked by me gave me a dirty look, when I apologized to other shoppers I was often told "oh, don't worry, I have kids, luckily mine are grown now".

But dad should have grabbed him and took him out of the store, into the car and home for a time out immediately.

I agree...it's just a commercial, and a hilarious one at that. You know you've jokingly thought the same thing before, either when looking at someone else's kid having a meltdown or your own.
