They'd need an army to pull me off of him. Then he'd be off some where working off those damages and paying me in installments. 7 ain't too young to get a paper route. <BR/><BR/>Something just ain't right. A SEVEN year old doesn't learn stuff like that out of thin air. I agree with rashad. There needs to be fear. To this day, i'm mindful of the things that I do because i'm scared of what my mother will say, do, or think...and the woman isn't even in the same state as me. This training has to start early. And grandma can't do it on her own...<BR/><BR/>Kenya<BR/>VBVirtuous Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057652570562128499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37208798.post-54077691447675894992008-05-09T14:07:00.000-04:002008-05-09T14:07:00.000-04:00I agree with all 3 posters.

As I say WTF, I then say I am not surprised....WTF! As I say WTF, I then say I am not surprised. New times, new generation. Different upbringing than what we remember. OH NO, just think I am about to go down this new journey in the field of social work. Dealing with children and families like this on a regular basis and realizing that I will not save them all because it's just way too many. <BR/><BR/>To many families missing a solid foundation, good parenting, good homes, good role models and the value of life and consequences. To much time spent thinking we want them to have a better life than we did by showering them with lavish gifts, clothes, techno trends and failing them in that we are missing the old school discipline (i.e., a good ole butt whipping or the look of the eye). Lord help me what am I getting myself into!<BR/><BR/>So you say you don't want to go back to teaching, well join me because there is lots of room for social workers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37208798.post-59005862942971066912008-05-08T22:21:00.000-04:002008-05-08T22:21:00.000-04:00This is exactly what happens when we let the gover...This is exactly what happens when we let the government raise our kids!!!!!!!!!<BR/>friendly advice to all<BR/>light stabs to the feet of bad children with a safety pin does not leave any marks for the police to identify as childabusehustlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851169835749252936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37208798.post-80185868037576045742008-05-08T19:57:00.000-04:002008-05-08T19:57:00.000-04:00fear and success. kids need to fear their parents,...fear and success. kids need to fear their parents, but they also need to see some level of success from their parents, guardian or whoever. this sounds simplistic, but its true. i was scared of my dad physically, but i also saw him getting money, reading books, and being important. kids are being brought into the world under some bullshit, premature circumstances, and sadly, not enough thought has been placed on a child rearing approach.rashadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384684218145041166noreply@blogger.com
