I'm not into the sport of using language that way, Les. I have a lot of trouble in the area of language to begin with and here, as in life, I'm at a measurable disadvantage. The best I will be able to do is use profanities when aggravated enough. If I wanted to be mistreated I'd go visit my relatives. I finally gave them up too. I really don't get how making fun of someone is enjoyable. Just not my thing. I'm a person who has feelings, not just for myself, and really don't get you or care for the sport of using language to fight with people every day who think its fun and games to humiliate and mistreat others. If you're hard on your son because he's sensitive, I hope you get fucked up the ass for a million years as righteous payback. I had a mother like that and despise her today for who she is. A low-life coward. I'm sure you're a better father than my mother was or hoping so but based on your interests here to mock and ridicule others, it's hard to know.
My interests here? I like it here and teasing, joking, flaming, insulting are all fair game here. Do I spend my every post offending people? Nope. Do I from time to time? Sure.
Now are you asking whether in my day to day life, I treat my boy like some Adult I have a bare connection with, on the internet, far removed in culture, nationality and family relation from....then yes, actually I do. This would not be a shock to you though, would it?
As to my parenting style? I am a pretty relaxed Dad. Strict but not authoritarian. They know the rules very clearly and by and large they stick to them. They are good kids and I am very proud of them.
They are allowed to be kids and I do not seek to have them be mini adults. I am inclisive and I am interested in seeing the develop and be a part of their lives and I try not to be judgmental. I seek not to have them be mini versions of me. I teach them about morality and self-worth and humour and at the same time try to teach them how life works and how to protect themselves from life's hard knocks.
I show that I do care and respect and love them for who they are and to reinforce positive.
You know the basic parenting style I guess.
