I'm going to Denmark

[Darcler]

I would have to keep it a babysitting service instead. I am leaving the state in Feb.

[Gargamellow]

whoa..I cahrge a buck an hour to babysit...don't care how many kids there are

and I usually just babysit for free...you know, babysitting is actually a form of community service

[Darcler]

hoho, I dont like other people's kids near enough to do it for free.

[Gargamellow]

i think kids are funny

I'm going to have to agree with that. Unless they are babies. I see so many kids at work far less well behaved than my own, it's hard for me to even suck it up and have my 5 yr. old's friends play here for an hour because they all act like satan.

[DangerPaul]

all kids are rotten little fucks who need to be beaten until they learn to speak when spoken too

[Darcler]

Watching other people's kids play really makes me reconsider how "bad" I think my daughter is. Never once has she taken a toy, pushed anoter child, hit another child, thrown a temper tantrum when soomeone else asks her to do something. She just tells me no when I say its time for bed and she now yells at me when I try to put her in a pull up.

[DangerPaul]

Why do all of you stupid ass parents say, "Oh I know my kids are good when I see how other people's kids act." Newsflash, every fucking kid, unless they are a mentally retarded mute, are obnoxious, whiny smart mouthed assholes who will remain that way until they die. I hope every child under the age of 12 dies today.

Screw you, my kids aren't. Taxx can probably even testify to the fact that my kids were good almost every day he was out here, with the exception of when my oldest ran off upstairs with the neighbor's kid without telling him.

Unless you timewarped your children in from the 20s, where children were quiet and polite, said yes sir and maam and respected all elders, I call bullshit. Your kids are no better than anyone elses, they just are also no worse.

[Tacks]

All kids are going to be kids and doing stupid shit every now and then. No amount of beating is going to change that. With that being said, anytime IF's kids were being "supervised" (it wasn't playtime for them) they were basically perfect gentlemen. I don't recall a time she had to tell them NO or not to do something more than once. I've been around some pretty nutso kids, my brother even, and yeah theres a ton out there who deserve to have their asses handed to them, however not all of them do.

Adults don't act like adults did in the 20's either, why should children.

P.S. Paul...you know my mother? You two would get along famously.

[Insanityfair]

*shrug* Think what you want. Nothing I say to you here is going to change your mind.

[Tacks]

Paul getting his ass beat by his father surely worked on him.....right?.............RIGHT?

[Gargamellow]

.................I like how you empasized that second RIGHT?

but if he did get beat then I feel for him

[Jay]

Paul is pretty successful from what I hear. If I find out his dad beat him, I'm beating my kids.

[KaiineTN]

All this talk about beating has got me excited.

[araby]

you should nanny that way you get to still be with your kids and get paid for it. they can make very good money. put yourself in the paper offering to keep children in your home or talk to some people you know. rich moms always like the idea of a mom keeping her own children as well as theirs. just an idea, you don't really have to license yourself for a couple or three children. plus your daughter might make a playmate =)

I don't really like other people's kids either and I don't mean to sound snooty, but my son is a good kid and he makes other people's kids look really bad.

[Gaazy]

Damn, if I ever told my old man to shut up or told him "no" I would be goin out back to get a switch and be standin for a few days

[araby]

I think my mom was always tired because she was so busy keeping us in line. we were honestly like omg life sucks our parents are horrible. but they really were busting our balls all the time...I appreciate it now.

[Gaazy]

hell yeah same here, glad it was the way it was

[DangerPaul]

A brick or firepoker to the head or dodging the occasional full cup of coffee flying at me, if that is a beating, I guess I was beat. I would say it was more like, he had no patience for children and when that fuse was lit, whatever he was holding usually was launched at me.
/shrug
I don't care anymore

[10sun]

I was always polite...

because my grandmother beat me with a tennis raquet one day when I wasn't ><
