Wow you are disrespectful! I have two teens, ages 14 and 16. In my house, disrespectful posts and comments towards parents come with consequences. For first offense, they lose internet privileges for an unspecified time, get a talking to, and have to remove the offensive material. Second offense carries a punishment of internet loss for 2 years or until 18th birthday, whichever comes first. Kids should never disrespect parents.

We seem to be having some confusion over internet as a privilege versus a right, or a necessity for life. We live in a poor area. There are families here who are occasionally without electricity or running water. Their kids certainly don't have internet, game systems, or cell phones. My kids see this. They know that internet is a privilege and is not necessary for life. They know that they are lucky to have it and, being a poor family ourselves, we consider internet to be a considerable expense every month. They are not spoiled brats.

You are a joke to society... You see kids as your slaves basically... You are no different then a child itself. If you live a poor neighborhood and are tight on money too, might wanna turn of your lights now and think about your choices.

Don't disrespect those who pay your bills and buy your food in a public forum. In the real world, some employers make their employees sign a contract. Badmouthing the company online results in termination. More serious than internet loss! Good habits should be cultivated early

They make those rules because the majority of today's kids seem to think they can go around saying whatever they want about whoever they want. I say, instead of posting it, try saying it to their face. See what happens.

작성자: Andrenden 9/30/2015 8:29:33 PMSo what your saying is, you want your kids to spit in your face. But if they do you'll essentially beat them into submission with series of punishments. It's still slavery because there is no second option for them. You took away their outlet to vent which would be the equivalent of me being able to quit the job if I didn't like it. So you're saying the only option is to purposely get myself fired by yelling straight at the boss.[spoiler]In the kids case, they are going to get punished either way. Why not call you a -blam!- to your face? I know I would if that's literally my only option. People need to speak out just because you don't like what they say doesn't mean they didn't need to say it.[/spoiler]

But you don't have to post it when you can quit the job yourself. You don't give your kids that option. I'm sure given the choice they would leave you for another family. You should ask them you might honestly be surprised. Just don't punish them when they tell you they hate living with you.

Sounds to me like you are the one who hates your parents. You seem to think they owe you everything, you have no problem disrespecting them, and you are afraid to talk to them. I actually think I might feel sorry for you. And them.

작성자: Andrenden 10/1/2015 5:36:57 AMI don't hate my parents. In fact I still talk to them every month or so just to see how they are keeping up. This ontop of living out on my own with my girlfriend and working my full time job. I wasn't raised to be fearful of my parents like you're raising yours to be. I'll be surprised if you hear back from them ever again, let alone a month or two at the time.[spoiler]Ever hear the expression family isn't about blood? Sounds like you're the one feeling entitled. Just because you gave birth to them you feel like they owe you something. They didn't ask to be your children. They got stuck with it, they had no choice, if they had choices do you really think they would continue to live with you? You want respect? Earn it, you don't just get it for being a brood mare.[/spoiler]

Soooo then you don't have any kids. Save the parenting advice for when you have some. I am 35 and I still don't call my mother names, to her face, online, or anywhere else. I would never do that. I am certainly not afraid of her. I actually have enough intelligence and respect to behave properly. I guess it might help that I was actually taught that it is wrong to call other people names and bash them in general. There's never any excuse to behave that way just because someone does something you're not happy with. That is life. Life goes much more smoothly when you can talk to others about why you are unhappy or disagree with them, in a calm and MATURE manner, instead of resorting to childish name calling,over the internet no less, which in addition to being cowardly creates more problems than it solves.

If you can't say something to someone's face, maybe you shouldn't say it at all. That's cowardice. I guess now everyone knows that's how you operate. Good for you. Hope that serves you well in life. And I hope your kids turn out just like you!
-
I literally just said *and by saying it, did* call you a -blam!- as close to your face as possible. Unless you want to meet somewhere I don't know how else I can do it. There's a difference between cowardice and a dignified response. Back to my example, if I don't like my job I can just quit it and that's the end of it. You're forcing me to take the only other way out and are calling the other method an act of cowardice. Back to the kids this all relies on a method of fear anyway. You are raising cowards, people who won't stand up for themselves and their opinions. That "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" it's bullshit and you know it. Because everyone someone says will always offend another. Wether they say it to your face or away from it you'll still take offense and still punish them. So they end up FEARFUL of you.

No, the coward is the person who instead of talking to someone about a problem, hides behind a website, where they can read it anyway. Then, they just bend over and take it up the ***. Because they are afraid to open their mouth. What a way to live! So if your boss gives you a sh*tty schedule one week, you're going to b*tch online about it, which can get you fired, then bow down and work it anyway, in silence. I have had MUCH better results talking to the boss. He can switch some shifts around. I don't have to work the schedule, and I don't get fired. Same works with parents. Most decent parents are likely to listen to a reasonable discussion. But what sane parent would reason or discuss with a disrespectful spoiled brat, such as yourself, who believes privileges are in fact rights owed to them by their parents? As for what you think of me, I honestly couldn't give a rats *ss. You will raise children to behave as you do. Someday you will have the privilege of reading an online post from your child, calling you a dumb*ss or some such thing. I just wish I could see it, so I could sit back and laugh! Because I don't have to put up with that.

작성자: Andrenden 10/1/2015 5:30:52 AMYou're right, I could always just punish my child into submission rather than allowing them to speak their mind. I mean imagine. You took to a public forum and told us about your children and their punishments, something that's not our business and is disrespectful to the child. It's between you and the child like you said. Yet you're being hypocritical by taking to, what is essentially, social media just because "you're the parent" respect goes both ways and I'm sure you're kids don't want you doing that anymore than you want them doing it. The difference is you won't get punished for your disrespect. tl;dr Pot meet Kettle.

See parents like you are why kids leave after their 18th birthday and don't come back. My parents were complete assholes to my brother and now they never see him. Give your kids some fricken slack and don't run your house like a dictator ship.
