There's a big difference between a car and an action figure. An action figure is easily replaced, but a new car costs tens of thousands of dollars. I doubt she'd be happy if she got an older blue car. The point is that you can't have your way all the time. She shouldn't get a car at all if she can't appreciate the one she has. On the other hand, I would understand if a kid gets angry because he got a Wii when he asked for a PS3 (or vice versa).

I think parents need to discipline their children somehow. I started receiving spankings when I was four. I stopped getting them when I stopped misbehaving. I think a mix of negative and positive reinforcement should be employed.

I can agree that laziness spoils children but to think that corporal punishment it self is the solution is quite primitive.

This is what an expert would say to you: Show children that you are in charge, give them love, make clear that you have principles and correct improper behavior.

Needles to say there are lots of way to correct bad behavior. To take the corporal punishment would be the easy route since the parent would not have to challenge their ability to explain things to the children. Talk about lazy.

Promise me you will never become a parent. This will ensure that the average IQ remains slightly higher and some what better quality of the common gene pool than it would otherwise. Thank you.

My kids are not going to act like that little bitch. They are going to respect me, and when they get out of line, the hammer comes down on their asses.

Respect me, and I will respect you back.

Fleck YOU'RE an idiot.

If a child is given a car as a gift (which I question as being a good idea to begin with) then they have no reason in the world to be upset if a part of it wasn't exactly to their liking. I promise that for every one of the spoiled bitches like her in the world there are 100, maybe 1000, kids who would kiss your feet for such a gift.

This is all a product of the mentality that kids are special and are made the center of the parent's universe consequently making the child believe they are the center of the ENTIRE universe. Hey kid! You aren't shit. You've done nothing to deserve what you've been given. In fact, since you don't have any respect for others or ability to see past your own nose to realize how good you have it and should have your shit taken away and given to some kid who does.

Oh, back to you, Fleck, get away from the left for a little while and maybe you'll start to see the world in a more reasonable fashion. Ya feel me? fuck...

LOL yeah bud, beat 'em good! Then some nosy neighbour sees you, CAS is at your door the next day ready to take your kid.

You can't beat your kids these days. You can't even raise your voice. Hell, you can't even have a vocal argument with your spouse because if that nozy neighbour hears you, they'll rat you off to CAS in a heartbeat.
