Having a good childhood
    #5740689 - 06/12/06 03:41 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Last year I was on the train and there was a young mum with a baby (probably less than a year old) in a pram. The baby was crying and obviously needing attention, and the mum told it "Shut up you little cunt".  :shocked:

Now I was amused at the time, but at the same time very disturbed. What chance has that kid got? In my eyes, there's few things as sad as bad parenting. I believe that in most cases, almost every child has the potential to be a great human being. Of course there will be a few with a gene setup that can only lead to disaster, but I think that solid, loving upbringings lead to good people. When I see parents mistreating their kids, neglecting them or just not caring enough, it really pisses me off.

There's a TV show called Supernanny which is ridiculously banal but the people on it beggar belief. They wonder why their little Tommy is behaving like the child of satan, and then Supernanny discovers they're feeding him crisps, ready meals, processed shite, slapping him at the dinner table when he refuses to eat it, shouting at him like a possesed psycho and allowing him to waste his brain on shite tv (eg Supernanny) and Playstation Games till he goes to bed at 11 oclock.

Having kids seems to be the major reason for our existence (excepeting homosexuals). It's a shame so many people suck at it.

that is erroneous. People always want to use this as some defense for poor parenting.
Do I have kids? no. Does that mean that I have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to kids? no.
weren't we all kids at one point? or does that not qualify me to "know how kids work"?



(a somewhat related story)..... I used to work at a latte-type kiosk in a hospital complex. All the time, people would ask me "what do you reccomend", and I would respond, "I wouldn't know, I don't drink coffee".
Almost every single person would give me a weird look and say something to the extent of, "don't you think you are in the wrong profession then?"...... to which I would say, "not really, most social workers don't have kids".
Everybody understood what I meant, usually agreed, and sometimes even chuckled.

No I don't have kids and won't for a good few years. But as above, that doesn't mean Im clueless.

Praise the child and you praise the mother.

the woman who told her child "shut up you little cunt"

this is a woman who has NO respect for herself
and
NO respect for life itself, period

raising children is the most important thing anybody can do on earth.
nothing else you can do even remotely compares to nurturing the next generation life.

usually i dont place blame on parents.
after all, it was their parents before them that made them the way they are too.

people take everything for granted.
they rarely know what love is.
and they rarely have any respect for life.

Really great parents are very few and very far between. :frown: Mine almost totally sucked. As did my education, church, social peer groups, govt, etc.  :wink: But it all begins with parenting.

I had good, loving parents, but unfortunately they couldn't prepare me for a rough adolescence and early adulthood.

Later in life some guy will tell that same little girl/woman to "shut up you little cunt" and worse and it won't bother her as she will be used to it. In fact, she will find herself attracted to those abusive type men just as the abusive man who was abused and seeking to abuse will find the abused woman in need of further abuse.

Ah, the cycle of life. Not always good but true dat.
