All good tj....and if you look at my first post here I came right out and said that given the situation I could not fault the mother.
What I mildly objected to,and it's gotten worse since on fox news,is the idea that she is somehow mother of the year material.
If she had been such a good mother she would have been able to tell her sixteen year old son to march his ass out of that situation.
I take issue with the fact that in order to make him heed her it was necessary to smack him upside the head repeatedly.
Greta Sundstrom had her on tonight,the banner at the bottom of the scree actually hailed her as "Mother of the Year"....I call bullshit on that.
A mother that has gained her sons respect thru non violent parenting tells her son to walk away and they both walk to the car,minus the whacks....just my opinion [:)]
And a mother who has gained her son's disrespect and animosity because of her non-violent parenting which...because of what else he saw and learned from others while growing up...left him thinking she was weak or afraid or didn't know how to stand up to him when she should have...would tell him to leave and he'd refuse. Because really...what's she going to do?
I know that you think every child raised in a home where there was NEVER any striking grows up right...they don't. Just as every child who grows up in a home where there was only the occasional Swat still doesn't turn out right.
But most times...in both households...they do.
I didn't say any of that ...you did.
Why do folks seem so intent on picking a fight with me over this...I'm not all that incensed over the incident,I simply object to the idea that she is the model we should hold up on high as something to aspire to.
What's so fucking hard about that for you to understand ?
What's so wrong about thinking in an IDEAL situation she would not have needed to repeatedly strike her child.
Seriously dude,what you malfunction ?
But you see Mike, when you make a statement such as "If she had been such a good mother she would have been able to tell her sixteen year old son to march his ass out of that situation.". What you seem to be saying is...and correct me if I'm wrong...that this IS the best way to handle this and that if she could have done so, she'd have been a better mother.
You don't see that as derogatory of anyone else who doesn't see it your way?
Yes...in an IDEAL world, none of us would have ever had to Swat our children...And we'd have married the right partpartner the first time around...And the right job would have miraculously opened up for us. But it isn't an ideal world nor was it an ideal situation. What I see is a mother who moved her child in a way that she knew would move him.
