Lol, to me, Smash? And you're basing that on your tremendous experience in child rearing? You've raised what, 10 kids? 18 if we include those orphans you rescued from that burning building? 135 children if we add the foster kids you helped put through college?
Relax, Sarge, no one really cares if you took the easy way out raising your kids.
To the uninitiated and untested child rearing is as simple as pressing Button A and getting Result B. Real life teaches an actual parent differently.
Only a fool throws away a viable option for raising a child effectively. And until you become a parent-- and not one by default, ie via Nexa's kid --you have no clue as to what you are talking about.
Sure, the magic of your wife having one fall out of her ****** who had your DNA goes far beyond what I could ever experience. The very fact that you share some genes with them qualifies you beyond any measure as a parent. This is why adoptive parents are so much worse for children. They have no concept of the massive knowledge gained by having ejaculated into the woman who bore one.
Let me put some perspective on this discussion. When I was young, 24 years old, and my two kids were little, we had by all accounts well behaved, mild mannered children. I, in my hubris, believed I had figured out the secret to parenting. I thought I could raise 20 kids on the basis of what I had seen to that point. One girl, one boy, I had it covered, come to me for all the answers.
Then, little by little, as they grew older, I recognised that one size does not fit all. And by the time they were teenagers very different approaches to parenting were required to make any impact on their lives and behavior at all.
I've had the joy and priviledge of raising two good, well adjusted children, despite my errors in parenting, job choice, living conditions, and discipline. I've had the priviledge of seeing a wonderful, creative, but headstrong daughter and a self driven, self policing, and intensely charismatic son grow up into adults who are ready to begin their own families any day now. But if they should ever come to me asking for parenting advice I will firmly and voraciously advocate spanking for defiant behavior, because nothing, nothing is more destructive to a child's maturity and growth than him believing he's the boss in a child/parent relationship.
Sure. How else would they know how to be properly submissive to other authority figures? ****, if you didn't physically strike them, they might grow into people with distinct identities that weren't molded by your Svengali like application of violence.
But you go on and tell us tales and give us the wisdom you've gleaned based on your vast experience in raising children. I'm all ears.
Sure, whatever makes you happy, man. You didn't care enough to find something other than hitting your kids to accomplish your parenting goals. End of story. If you can't deal with it, that's fine. You have to know, though, that the "you can't understand child psychology because you haven't impregnated a woman" just results in people laughing at you, right?
