I'd rather be napping!!
He is six, his birthday is in Sept, he might not reach 7. Keeping in mind, he has been told too many times to recount, do not ride that little electric chopper...

That said, there is a child that lives a couple of doors over that has a small electric chopper motorcycle. I have told my children since the day they got it, that they weren't allowed to ride it. This weekend, my oldest comes in with skinned knees, he was riding the chopper and wrecked, at this time I re-iterated, "DO NOT RIDE THE CHOPPER".


Tonight, my youngest comes into the house, tears welling up in his eyes....

"I forgot to tell you, I was riding the chopper, and I wrecked into someones car".

She came to see me....


FUCK!!!

God please grant me Patience I wanted to hurt him, I really did. He took a shower, washed his wounds, and I made him go to bed (roughly 8:30). Now, he will stay in bed till tomorrow, and he will stay in the house all day tomorrow (I have informants :biggrin:) .

I also told him that the $ for the car was coming from his birthday $.

Now, my wife says I am acting out of line, I don't really think so. Harsh, yes, but the child has a history of ignoring things that he is told. I think it is time he learned a lesson.

As much as it pains me to say this, " I have not laid a single hand on him" that said, my parents would have beaten the holey tar out of me...

I need a beer.......


FUCK

He is now asleep, I feel like shit for scolding him, but dammit. I don't know how many times it comes down to "stop doing that" in a row before you snap. This one just happened to have financial consequences.

Now, the lady that came down to talk to me was not being mean, she didn't even ask for retribution. Principle would dictate though, that the damage should be covered. It is however minimal, a flat tire only from what I am told. Still, it is a lessoned learned, hopefully on his part....

Kids will be kids. Think of all of the shit that you did as a child. This is probably nothing compared to that. I know you and I know what kinds of things kids did where you grew up. I don't think you overreacted tonight though. My father would have broken a couple of my bones if it were me. You still have to let him know that dad means business.

We'll go for beers tomorrow :wink:

My dad had one of his old fraternity paddles hanging on the wall when I was a kid. Whenever I would act up (about once a year) he would send me to my room and get the paddle. Side note - my dad was a teacher and principal back when they were allowed to spank students so he was very well practiced. There was nothing quite like the fear of getting spanked to keep me in line.
If you try it have your kid put his hands on the seat of a chair and stand there for a minute or two while you warm up your swing behind him before you actually whack him. The anticipation of the pain is probably worse than the actual pain of the spanking. If he isn't sobbing by the time you hit him you aren't doing it right.

I don't think you were too hard on him... it's tough to see your kids upset but they have to learn to listen. My boys are only four but if one of them would have listened to me me yesterday we wouldn't have a keyboard at home that is in the trash because it had a container of bubbles dumped on it.

Well, having had the night to cool off. I have come up with a solution. Today, when I get home, I am going to make him take $50 down to the ladies house (she only lives a few doors down), give her the $ and apologize. Then, I am going to make him work off the $50 to me by reading a book, and writing a report on it for me. I have thought hard about this one, yard work... he would enjoy it, he isn't old enough to run the mower, his house work is shoddy. Nothing worse on summer vacation than doing school like work.

I am a dick :biggrin:

No, you're a good parent. Never too early to teach accountability.

You need to beat the child. Legally, of course. I'm convinced that the reason kids today have no respect, are lazy, (I'm not going to keep going, you can all add to this list) etc., is because they are no longer spanked. I'm sorry, but "time out" just doesn't cut it.

Oh dude, I am all about the spankings.... Just not when I am as upset as I was yesterday. Besides, I think the book report will be more effective.

Cool...I can understand being too upset to do it...and it's probably for the best. The longer you take to "deliver" the punishment, the more your kid will freak. I just got the impression that you've never spanked them when you said that you'd never "laid a hand on them".
