That's just a ridiculous assumption

idd, wine is nice

[Spartan_Marine88]

Wine is another drink that has so much variety saying its for a 'type' of person is just moronic.

I was helping babysitting 2 kids for friend - she married american, but boy did I underestimate differences between raising up american kids and ours - small boy genuinelly believed he can do anything without consequnces (usa way yay), I was so close to punching him in face!

Anyway after 6 hours of terror and disbelief, she saw my tension and ordered her hubby to bring me bottle on way from airport.

So here I am 4th day sipping last drops of Zacapa 23 Solera Gran Reserva Rum. No sights of hangover yet. Highly recomended, i dig the flavour

Because that's impossible in other countries right? I mean, it's not like USA isn't made up of 1 type of parent only.

[LiquiDeath]

Its only that she told me, that american way is to not ever hit the kid and let them be more free, expressive or something.

But I recall its somewhat very restrictive how you can deal with children in usa anyway.

So it was stressful to not be able to put him in his place with 'last power option' snd he was clearly abusing it, little brat.

So thats why 4 day rum rehab for me

Where not all like honey boo boo


Can somone please refer me a good cheap whiskey they import/make around in america?

[RikiRude]

That's quite a blanket statement, I didn't know Europeans were stupid enough to believe things like that (see what I did there?)  But trust me, its not that way all around I was hit, given hot sauce, got the belt, and worst than that, I had to do military exercise!  But trust me there's many ways to raise your kid. And you know what? I had a friend that was never hit as a kid and he was a fucking pussy who never finished anyt

[TheIcelandicManiac]

I see what you did there 

[Tymathee]

not all families raise their kids that way but it's increasingly becoming that way. I think it comes down to parents being more busy and more options to give kids to entertain themselves with.

in the past we worked less hours and spent more time with children, now we work more hours and spend less time with anybody important and when we do go out, it's reckless.

Thats why Americans are so big, we're always moving so we go for high calorie options that satisfy us in a short amount of time.

I never raised my son that way, his mom gives him a bit more leeway than I do but i'm a pretty tough parent. I'd rather not hit but I always warn him before I do and I do it in the "legal way" an open palm on his butt, different from how I grew up but still effective and if you do it hard enough it gets their attention, especially when they're young.

also, chastising a child while you're angry is always bad, you don't think clearly.

[PonySlaystation]

In the past people worked more but then the children were involved because most people worked from home with farming, craftsmanship etc.

[Sachaztan]

This might come as a shock to some of you, but you can raise a child sternly to become obedient WITHOUT hitting them. Amazing!

I live in the USA, my daughter is 5. Punishment depends on offense. If she is just being whiny or whatever, timeout in a corner. If that escalates to a tantrum, close the door and leave after telling her she has to calm down and have her time out. IF she keeps escalating she gets 1 smack on the rear. Never had it go beyond that.

If something is genuinely dangerous, like playing with a light socket or running into the street/parking lot, it's an immediate smack.

Don't have many issues with her at all.

[Unkn0wn]

How did a thread about alcohol end up on how to raise kids street? lol

Anyway, I absolutely agree you can easily raise kids without having to resort to physical punishment, but I don't necessarily think some minor forms of physical punishment are child abuse, like some people would say. (Obviously though there are people who do abuse their children, and they should just the children taken away from them)

[Vermillion_Hawk]

Psychological punishment is far more effective anyways.

[AmPM]

Psychological punishment is far more effective anyways.

Not always, it doesn't get the point across nearly as fast and is far less memorable.

[Vermillion_Hawk]

You're not inventive enough.

I'm just sending my kids to military school the first time they misbehave. Or get anything under A+ at school.

Either that or I'll hang up a bunch of pictures of some random kid in my house, and anytime my kids ask about the person in the pictures I'll explain.. It's your older brother. You probably don't remember him. You're never going to see him - you see, he misbehaved once when you were just a baby...
