bandaideman Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Will be leaving tomorrow night for home from Honolulu. Nice visit but was done with it about 5 days after getting here. visited with daughter, grandkids and son-in-law. My wife thought 2 weeks was a good time limit for the cost. Kids are brats lack of consistent discipline. do you know how many times a day and how many days you can tell the kids the same thing over and over and over not to do. Well at least 50 times and in 2 weeks I have not seen it help we still do the same thing. Kids kind of figured out nobody will do anything about it anyway. I am ready for the quiet of the shop and scroll saw and lathe. It is a long trip but I am excited to get back. Must be old age I like things quieter and slower.

WolfmoonCT Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 To me it's the problem with kids these days Dan. We cannot discipline them without worry about being arrested. All this PC crap is teaching them nothing can be done. Granted, no one needs to leave bruises on their kids, but a little smack on the back of the head, or a few swift smacks on the butt did wonders back in the old days. woodworker13403A, amazingkevin and Huntter2022 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clayton717 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I feel you pain, after a few hours with my granddaughter I'm usually ready for some peace and quiet. She is generally a good kid, but gets in the moods not to listen and that irritates me. Have a safe trip home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelCass Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Sorry the Gkids got on your nerves........I know the feeling. If they are in my house they get the rath of grandma when they are in their own house, not much you can do. How about a slap up side the head for the parents, think that would help???????? lol amazingkevin and woodworker13403A 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullyscroller Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Dan sure do miss the good ole days. My son still calls me SIR and he's 30 years old !! The biggest reason kids are the way they are is that our " society" is to lazy to smack their kids on the behind when they need it. I see it all the time at shows - It irks my wife to no end when i tell kids of any age "don't touch they are not toys!!!" As far as i'm concerned if feelings get hurt they can just get over it !!!! I was raised in a military family and if ya screwed up ya payed the price - right there right then. My shop is my sanctuary from all the PCBS out there. My motto "make sawdust not enemies" sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 When I was a kid if you were out in the street where you didn't live the police used to walk the beat and they would click you around the ear and send you on your way and if you told you your dad you would get another one. never did us any wrong, it teaches you respect which is not in any children theses days. they are told to sit on the naughty step. lol Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullyscroller Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Here in the US they call it a time out chair. What it needs in the chair is nails facing up or maybe a stun gun facing up to remind them why they are there. But then that would not be PC , maybe thats what we need to do to all the chairs in Washington DC. so that our elected officials remember why they are there. OOOPPPPPSSSS now i'll never get my SSI back sully woodworker13403A, bobscroll and Phantom Scroller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 SULLY FOR PRESIDENT That should help gets things back on track. Hey Sully after a short 5 years, you would be entiteled to a lifelong benefits and get paid big money just to talk with people. I have alread registered my vote for you. then you can tell them in Washington to take your SSI and shove it where the sun don't shine sullyscroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks guys for the response. I have done Pediatrics for more than 40 years. and the times they are changing. Kids used to be disciplined as was said right then and there. Now if a parent does that in public authorities are called. If not in public the kids call themselves and report it and then can't figure out when then call and stretch the truth and they end up in foster care how that happened. I would use a swat on the butt when needed not over done and not overdone. Kids always said it hurt there butt but told them it wouldn't hurt their butt cause it was already cracked. Dad always said I am going to kick your butt up around your ears so you can hear me better AND then would proceed to do it. I did learn to hear better and as far as I know I have not killed anyone or have bad feelings toward my parents. Kids have a hard time sorting out right and wrong. The pregnancy rate may be decreased a little but the disease rate is increasing. I have girls as young as 13 to 14 that want to get pregnant I am told so they can have someone love them but they have no idea what they are getting into and of course the guy doesn't stick around, We did have a good trip home and arrived safely. Will mow the grass and take truck in for work then will be in the shop. sullyscroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Too bad some kids these days do not get discipline at home. One day they will find out all about it from a cop/judge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
