SAH/WOH - Why?
| Mon, 02-20-2006 - 7:41am |
I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.
Why did you decide to sah/woh?
Was it a choice or something expected of you?
Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

I don't see where you've answered my question above. You just insisted your child wouldn't do that. This is a hypothetical. What would you do?
Yes, I would let my child go to school without her coat in 20-degree weather. I think that most likely, she would make it as far as the car before deciding to go back and get her coat. But if she didn't, I would let her go to school that way.

Sorry I think you misunderstand. I dont feel like a failure. If I felt that the only way to get my kids attention was to hit them, I *would* feel like a failure. I dont need to hit my kids. Ever.

Uh no I didnt have to take the poll. Your link brought up the results.
I was asking an honest question about it. I didnt see where they developed special guidelines, only that they refused to make it illegal because they didnt consider it child abuse. I saw nothing that said they consulted experts. Which is why I asked you-I admitted I only skimmed it.

Exactly. And they like to use the stupid *spare the rod* adage which has NOTHING to do with disciplining one's children. That was not what that phrase in the bible referred to.

I wouldnt smoke in front of my kids and then tell them not to either though. Even though its legal to smoke, I still think its wrong.
There are plenty of things adults *can* do that kids cant. Doesnt make it right, doesnt mean they should.

I agree. And I dont understand why a parent would be willing to take the risk.

So where is a study or statistic to back up anything in your entire post? I thought you insisted upon having research to back up a claim in order to participate in a debate? Or are you exempt from the standards with which you hold other posters to?
Because seriously, if all you have to back up your claim is that you "just dont believe it", then I "just *do* belive" my kids would turn out different if I put them in FT othercare (discalimer: not implying worse here, just different)
