Define too much.

I'm sorry about his trouble too.

It was simpler when I grew up. make the beast with two backs up and you got a beating from whomever you make the beast with two backsed up with.

Truth.

Seems like a lot of kids now either got beat too much or not enough and now they're all fubar.

The kids that do nothing wrong and get beaten by a parent/guardian/adult for no reason are fubared.

The kids that do everything wrong because they believe there are no consequences are fubared...because there are no consequences.

We are basically...fubared.

Too much? when I have to hold onto the ground, daily, then I've been having too much.

Beatings were going away when I came through, but, I was terrified of the old man.

Yep. Cops gave us the choice, official youth record or a hiding (or a deal with dad if you had one to give you a hiding). Local cops straightened me out and I'm grateful for their wisdom and discretion. Call it old fashioned early intervention.

Sounds like you get it

I feel like many parents perpetuate this by getting all bent out of shape whenever anyone dares speak out against their kid. It's like they form this protective bubble around the kid and they never get a chance to see how life really is.

I remember in grade school there was a wood paddle up front. I never saw it get used but we were all sure as shit afraid of that thing. No one would ever step out of line with a teacher.

Now none of em give a make the beast with two backs.

Yep. I have known violent abuse which was unacceptable and also now cant stand that there are no consequences for little shits, so I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Yep.

It all has to do with humans confusing the removal of natural consequence with caring.


Tomorrow will be an interesting day.

All i can say is you did the best you could.   Unfortunately it is now out of your hands.

The icing on yesterday's cake.... I found out we had a couple of UPS packages stolen from our doorstep.

make the beast with two backs humans.

That sucks Joel. Seems to be all the rage right now. News here has a daily showing of someone stealing boxes from front doors.

Sucks about your trials at work too.

Want me to mail you a box of cat poop?

Ditto, have plenty. 

Pretty sure no reply means a yes. 

It would seem I have his address in an old PM....
