Could your child do something worthy of punishing them by taking Christmas away?
Also, no one seems to know how the bailout money for the banks is being spent, or if it’s being spent
Had too much to drink? Wanna take the Light Rail home? Sorry, it’s closed… just take your car
I feel for the mother because she did react to a shock and she has to stand firm. However, Tuesday is reconciliation day.
If this boy has any remorse he will confess is saddness and his mother will forgive him. Yet, if he is being stubborn and loaded with ego. His lesson is his choice to experience and learn.
He has the choice to join the family Christmas morning and he has the choice to stay in his room alone. It is only Monday and he has 48 hours to reflect on his behaviour. The Mom and Dad have to stand firm and yes it is tough to be good parents.
I think all the Mother accomplished was proving to her son that she is indeed the “B” word. The truth hurts. That’s probably why she overreacted. She’s also very insecure and an “it’s all about me” Mother. She has obviously never read the Love Chapter - Chapter 13 of Corinthians. I screamed at my Mom that I hated her when I was about 8 because she wouldn’t let me play with the kid next door. She calmy replied that she knew I didn’t really hate her, but was upset, and assured me that she loved me very much and I would feel badly some day that I had ever said that. Then she warmed my bottom and that was that. Love accepts apologies, understands outbursts and bestows forgiveness. The child was unduly punished and instead of remembering a kind, loving, Mother, he will remember her as being insensitive. Hopefully, unlike her, he will be able to forgive her for being evil-spirited.
It is easy to say things when you are angry but I would never do that to one of my children. I would talk to them and give them a chance to say they were sorry–then we would both feel better and enjoy the true meaning of the holiday–the Christmas Spirit.
This is just too weird. I thought my friends wife was just being weird when she had their son. It kinda freaked me out when we were at the store and she started breast feeding while doing her shopping. There she was, hold ing the kid with one arm, pushing the shopping cart with the other. I’d never seen anything like this before in my life. The kid was only a few weeks old at the time so I figured it was new mom weirdness. Then a few months later, at I was with them for Thanks Giving Dinner at his brothers house. Were sitting down, haveing a great dinner and she desides to feed the kid at the table. Now at this point I know somethng is wrong here. I’m not sure what it is but I know it’s not right. I don’t know if it’s her being weird or Me not reacting to her being weird. People just don’t do stuff like this in public or at the dinner table with guests. Or do they? Not that I’ve ever seen or heard of. Then as time passed I noticed that the kid was 2 and she was still Breast feeding him. I didn’t think breast feeding was really usefull after 6 months but I knew people did it up to about the a year or so. Once the kid was eating solid food I thought you were suppsed to stop, right? I guess not. I know she breast fead the kid at least until he was 4. I wasn’t around much after that so I don’t know when she stopped. I’d never heard of anything like this before until I saw it forst hand. Since then it’s come up a few times in the news. Whats the deal with this?
