wow never heard of that before:?

Parents that don't dicipline their kids are stupid. When I was little and having a tantrum in public my mum used to say "If you don't stop it now I'll pull your pants down and give you a smack bottom in front of everyone" - that shut me up! Kids are going wild nowadays and it's mostly their parents fault. If you don't know how to bring up your kids properly then don't have them o_Otofu-lion91

this girl in my 3rd period her parents give 200 dollars for making all A+'s and if she gets two B's they beat her so she goes to a private tutor and every grading period she always back fine and i saw her report cardsDBScott11

That's stupid parenting... pushing your children to be the best. Parents may want the best from their kids and for them to go to uni and be doctors or whatever, however the reality is not everyone can do it or wants to do it. If you don't get a degree, you won't end up a construction worker (I'm basing this on a few adverts I have seen on TV in the US). Similarily in the UK, there are so many joke degrees it's a waste of time for most people to get a degree. I haven't got a degree and I'm doing pretty well for myself. Lol, the country I live in doesnt even have a university (it's only 2.5 square miles :P). I think that parents who try to push their children to greatness are making up for the own failures. It's not the kids' fault that their parents sucked at life lol.

As for bad parenting... take the 13 year old dad story. Everywhere is rife with crap parenting because of the "Politically Correct" world that we live in. It's not just bad parents, it's bad teachers and law enforcement due to ridiculous Government legislation. Bring back using children as chimney sweeps (and occasionally the broom :P)

I saw a parent buy their kids 50 Cent Bulletproof one time.Vandalvideo

That's almost a punishment rather a reward. I wonder what those kids must've done to deserve that.

Stupid parents IMO are:

Parents who think it's a great idea to take an 8 year old to a Nickleback concert.

Parents who take their four year olds to a Def Leppard Concert (I got a baby sitter so should they...)

Parents who allow their 10 year old to sign up for sites like facebook.

Parents who give their offspring'unique' names like Rain and Ocean.

Parents who think their 11 year old needs a cell phone.

Parents who allow their children to speak to them disrepectfully in front of others.

Parents who coddle their children so much that they can not become productive members of society and live in their parents basements.

Parents that allow their 10 year old to drink alcohol because it's a better pain killer than an advil.

Parents who purchase those damn healey's for their children and allow them to roll around stores knocking into people.

Parents who purchase games for their children without finding out if their child should be playing those games.

Parents who have done any/all of the above and then question why their children have grown up so fast.

Please define 'unique', any more examples than those 2? I'm about to become a stupid parent which I wouldn't want.

Also my parents must be stupid parents cause I have a pretty unique name, though according to local names database my name has become increasingly popular. (At the time I was born there were 2 others with the same name. Around 80 years before that there had been 5)

My parents were stupid as well because my name is a month and back in those days it wasn't near as popular as it is now. I don't think I met anyone with my name until I hit high school. Children are mean and tend to make an example of those with an unusual name or at least that was my experience.

Rain and Ocean are actual children that sat one row behind my family at the theatre. Their mother had to tell them to sit down so many times that by midway through the movie I was singing Rain rain go away in my head. I have a friend who has named her daughter Meadow. My own daughter has a unique name as well, but it's a name from a book it's not just a word I liked and decided to make a name out of it (Apple anyone?)

So it's pretty much only names that mean something and can easily be twisted into meaning something else? Here in Finland 'Tuuli' is a really common girl's name and in finnish it means 'wind'. I don't think they've been picked on at school, maybe just cause it's so common.

On the other hand a unique name might be a blessing too. Guess it depends a lot on the kid in question and how he/she handles it. I got picked on a bit cause of my name but it wasn't serious.

Just checked the names database and it seems there's 53 boys called 'Kivi' (Rock) in Finland. Some of them might hear something about their names. Kids named after the show wrestler / actor "the Rock" are not easily bullied though. :P

EDIT: April, May, June and July are nice names and quite common too I believe, at least April is, and I don't think girls with such names get picked on. All the other months I believe might be a bit hazardous.

[QUOTE="Vanadium2k8"] Would you say that you wouldn't have turned out ot be good people unless your parents beat you up? There are alternatives - these alternatives just aren't recognized by most parents that beat their children or parents that have reckless children.tofu-lion91

You will? I hope your ballsacks fall off man.. The things i've witnessed haunted me for years. No child should ever go through that.

but it cured my tooth aches ;)

Those guys who pretend that they are happy they got smacked because of something they did when they were kids, are just saying that to justify why they are doing it for their own kids. Hitting and yelling is the easy way out of kids having problems. Hitting a kid is not a solution, it is a problem. My dad used to hit me every now and then for the most silly reasons, now i hate him as death. He doesn't pay my shrink bills even though he is the one who created my problems. Parents are not to hit their kids unless nothing is working. It shall never be the first thing that a parent uses when the kid disobeys or makes a noise. I never hit my kid, my wife spanked them maybe 2 or 3 times, and I don't blame her for it though. She only used it as a last resort when nothing else worked. My kids get yelled at, sit on the floor, get their games taken away and are to do extra chores in the house when they deserve a punishment. Hitting is the last resort, it is never a right-of-the-bat thing, and never should be.mithrixx
