I know more than you will ever know about raising kids, especially if you spend the rest of your days behind the wheel of a truck.
No, you know nothing about raising kids. You don't have any kids. That's like saying you know Aikido better than me and you've never trained a day in your life. That would be like me saying I know gymnastics better than you because I trained in gymnastics when I was 8 for a year (which I did).
I have no problem with raising kids, because I understand how they operate and how to train them to behave.
Right, cause you had so many kids. You know how to "train them," because that's what you did. You did not raise them, so lets not pretend like you did. You didn't.
I watched you for a week LD, you got no clue on this.
Well if it's training gymies that you are talking about you are correct. I have no idea how to train them. That seems to me what you are talking about. You most certainly are not talking about raising your own children because you know nothing about it having never procreated.
You don't know how to reward or punish behavior issues. You YELL at them and make mean faces and say "I will KILL you if you do that again", but the kid learns quickly they won't be killed.
Don't even do that. Don't quote me saying I'm going to kill my kids. I never once have said to my kids that I'm going to kill them. Not once, ever, nor will I ever, because I would never do that to my kids. You did not hear me say that.
You have to follow through with punishment and reward, and they have to be appropriate to the behavior and the child involved as to what works and what does not.
Yep, Dr. RE comin' with some deep knowledge on kid psychology.
In my raising of the gymmies, in any given group you had the EZ ones who were pleasers and the tough ones who were disobedient.
You did not raise kids RE, you taught them gymnastics.
Always more of the 2nd type with the boys than the girls. With girls, maybe 25% disobedient. With boys, 50%. That is ballpark though, it varies.
Yep, little boys get into more trouble and generally are not as intelligent as little girls. Again, more bright insight from Dr. RE.
The real KEY for this though is you have to be uncompromising and absolutely authorotative when the time has come to squash a behavior that is inappropriate. You have to HAMMER DOWN, and hammer down hard with something that the kid wants but won't get if they continue the behavior, or something that hurts like a spanking.
Hammer down like "I'm gonna kill you"? Sounds like maybe you got yourself confused with me. I'd never say that to my kids, but maybe you and your hammer would.
In my profession, we could not spank,
So if you could you would?
so I had to find psychological means to spank them, and I spent 30 years refining that technique. That is why my gymmies were always so good in the end. Well disciplined.
RE
Let me translate for those of you who may be reading this and don't know RE as well as I do. This last sentence really says "this is why I'm the best gymnastic coach ever, because I could psychologically abuse my gymies with razor sharp precision. In fact I spent 30 years honing the technique. That's what my gymmies were the best. Because of me. I'm the best. I'm better then you. In fact, I'm so good I'm even better then Dump. Dump has nothing on me...and I mean it, I'm just better."
Whatever RE. Carve it on your fuckin' self made modern day pyramid.
