A whole bunch of Parenting issues

Alright so in the past couple weeks I have read two very disturbing articles. One was about a 6yr old child being arrested for kicking his principle, and a second was about extended Breast Feeding. Both of these really annoyed me to the core.

First...how the HELL do you expect teachers to discipline when they're literally not allowed to put a hand on your kid. By all means I dont think they should hit, beat, drag etc our children, but really they should at least have the power to restrain them. All these parents fighting to make sure that these teachers cant do this are giving these kids run of the mill in schools. To add to it, it seems as if respect has gone out the window. I dont care if I am 20yrs older than you or 20yrs younger..RESPECT me. I respect you, whether it be your religion your parents stratigies, your job, your lack there of, your marriage...or lack there of. No one is perfect and I might not agree with your choices but I wont tell you that you are wrong because I RESPECT YOU!!! My husbands aunt gave me a compliment around easter that I let my children learn for themselves and in her words "you can tell your children the fire is hot...but they wont learn until they get burned". FANTASTIC!!! I love love love that saying. why? because I believe people have done nothing but baby their children for the past decade. Dont let them do this, dont let them do that, dont use the word "no" instead redirect them. REALLY????? Are you f*in kidding me? My children climb, not because I dont worry that they will fall, because I know eventually they will...but because they learn to be independent and take chances. You cant go through life thinking that actions do not have consequences, good or bad. But when you dont let your children explore than they're nto learning that on their own, instead they just hear it from you. The best lesson is experience. Now onto this child that got arrested...what were they supposed to do?? They cant touch him, who really cares if they get thrown in detention or have out of school suspension..really that is a break. No instead they call the cops the kid gets arrested, allbeit six years old. But ya know what??? I promise you that child will never try doing that again!!! I'd be okay if that was one of my children..why?? Because it taught them a valualbe lesson. Instead I'm sure these parents are going to sue? Because one we're a sue happy country and two because they dont discipline their child, as i'm sure these actions happen at home also. If my child ever raised a hand at me (or foot) I can promise you it would be the LAST time. I'm nto saying I'd beat them but I certianly would find their weakness. Like waht?? Idk take away their bed make them sleep on the barefloor, take away tv, feed them pb sandwhiches for a week straight. I dont really care what it takes I will do it to teach them a lesson. My daughter had a little boy in her class that kicked punched pulled her hair....even after talking to the parents they did NOTHING. So what did i do? I made sure that child was not going to be in her kindergarden class and I will continue to make sure until 4th grade and she will learn to fight back. If she gets in trouble for fighting back I dont care, she is a woman and she will learn to stick up for herself just like that boys will. My children are learning respect, I dont care how shy you're pretending to be, you will look them in the eye when they say hi to you. You will order your own dinner at restaurants, you will use your manners. When you are asked to do something you are expected to do it, or there will be consequences. There are two choices...you choose to do as you are asked, or your choose to be punished. Dont get me wrong there are somethigns and soem times I just dont want to fight, dont want to deal with the attitudes and I will just do it. Then I regret it!!

Onto extended booby time. So many of these articles compare us to cows or dolphins or idk any other animal with a boob that feeds its young. You are told that it's wrong for it to be socially unacceptable to bf your 3-7yr old. Seriously????? you want them to nurse HOW LONG?? Okay as a person fully supporting of the boob, I can honestly say it gets gross when you're child is lifing your shirt in the middle of a conversation with someone else...I dont mean 6-7 mos old, I'm perfectly fine if you wish to nurse your child til two. Just not in front of me. I get grossed out at about ummm...1 1.5yrs to seeing it. But not just that, they want them to self wean like nature does it. SERIOUSLY, a cow stops nursing a calf about 6-9mos in...how?? by a swift kick from its mother!!! So you want us to drop kick our kids NICE!!! Dolphins naturally wean somewhere between 8mos and two years, but their mother rarely leaves their side. Monkeys nurse until 1-1.5yrs. I mean honestly in all of these there are the few exceptions. But in reality, do you really think your children will be more socially accepted because he nursed so long? I'm sure it would be a secret he will take to his grave when he finds out that you nursed him until he was 5. It's not that I dont believe in the power of our milk, I totally do...but seriously you want to keep your kid on your boob is selfish and not wanting to give it up, it's not because they need it! I'm sure if you ask most Yale graduates or Harvard graduates, they didn't succeed because of their mommys milk, I am rather sure that they weren't working on homework and take a break for a suckle on moms nipple...ENERGY BOOST. ew the thought is disturbing.
