k-fed or brit?

Hopefully the Nanny is good and goes with the kids.

This just gave me a great idea- K-fed and Brit need to be on Supernanny. Can y'all imagine? But I bet Supernanny can whip them into shape better than anyone!

Yes, good idea! That Supernanny skeers me!!!

I wish I woulda had a Supernanny to refer to when raisin' my kids. Bet my kids do too. They've made it in to adulthood alive. ;-) I Supernanny. Kinda ashamed to admit it now, after watching Supernanny, but I was a spanker occasionally. That's how we were raised too in the 60's and 70's. The 'naughty corner' does seem more sensible. When you look around and see the likes of all these brat pack kids acting out though, it does make me wonder. Did they just need thier butts beat a couple times to straighten 'em out. Supernanny would say that is just wrong. :nono1: I think she's right, now, especially when she shows you how to do it differently.

I don't know. it's not the first or last custody case. hope it works out best for all, especially the kids.

I think spanking and lots of discipline are the only ways to raise kids! So many brats running around because their parents can't say "no" and all they have to fear is a "timeout". I know I certainly earned and deserved all my punishments . Lots of manual labor (worst was having to clean up the dog poo from the yard), reheated meals because I didn't finish them at a prior meal, and loss of TV.

One of my brother's friends had apathetic/absentee parents ........ he actually enjoyed getting chewed out by my parents for his bad grades, latest stupid move etc. He even gave my mother a card one mother's day!

They do seem to thrive on discipline and limits. Maybe Supernanny could help brit and kfed since she does seem to work so well on parents. Then they can graduate to 'Trading Spouses'.

There is a big difference between a spanker and a beater. Don't be ashamed of spanking. I'll be the first to admit I didn't spank hardly ever. Fortunately, my son is relatively obedient about most things, but there is a big difference in the way he speaks/acts with me and the way I spoke/acted with my parents.

Alternative methods are great - IF you know how to apply them, and make the kids understand there are consequences to their behavior, like Supernanny (who I've never seen, but heard about). But, that doesn't come naturally. What often happens instead is kids are not learning about consequences, or about respect for adults.

btw, I vote that Mom gets the kids and takes them home to Louisiana.

hitting a child does not teach the things they need to know, IMO. but, good discipline certainly does. do you want to punish or teach? do you want your child to learn self-discipline, or do the right thing to avoid punishment?

hey, I'm still trying to figure it out with my little one. consistency is key. believe me, I want to whip is butt sometimes - but that is only my anger speaking. and I won't do it because I remember how demeaning this form of punishment is, and I don't remember it being effective in the least.

I believe the child needs to experience consequences of behavior, both good and bad, in order to really learn. we all learn from consequences of our actions and decisions. parents need to be sure the consequences are appropriate and enforced.

but whatever the parent believes is best for teaching their children takes a lot of time and work, that's what I've learned!

I didn't spank either, but I did do an awful lot of yelling (& screaming), yanking and jerking my son around. So, which is worse? As a small child, my son was never a compliant child. He was so NOT textbook. He never once sat in the naughty chair. He had a mind of his own. I used to just cry. But all in all, he now can stand his own ground in almost all situations.


But back to Britney and K-fed. Does anyone think that K-fed sees this as a meal ticket? That HE should be the full-time parent for self-serving reasons? He's no prize either. It's all pretty pathetic.
