Then let me introduce you to the human frontal cortex.

It has a mind of its own.

The voice of experience.

Teen children can put parents or stepparents I all sorts of financial or legal jeopardy.

Get them far away from you.

One time response to someone who THREATENED me (yes, I reported it). Far different than someone who cannot debate a topic without name calling.

I don’t threaten people, so I have NO CLUE as to what you’re talking about.

The absence of fear of violence

Let's reset the conversation. Please recast the nomenclature here in the way you see best - a 4-5 year old child that climbs onto her father's lap under the circumstances I have described.

How has anything I have written here lead you to believe I desire to take any action other than show God's love for my daughter? Ephesians 6:4.

Red States you have a lot of work ahead of you to tell me how to parent my kids.

you are paranoid. Get help.

regarding eph 6:4. It instructs one not to nag our children, be petty with them and discipline them. You discipline them when needed. Is your child angry after disciplining?. they will get over it. they are 3.

“Yes that certainly was a threat! Karen deserves the moniker.”

Thanks, and he’s just mad that our side is fighting back a bit.

Raising children takes a lot of sacrifice and work. A Mother at home all day to tend to the discipline, cooking, cleaning and teaching is an absolute must.

By discipline, that is training the child to do their own chores in just a few minutes. Spankings are doled out very rarely but consistently. From a slap on the hand when reaching for the stove top, matches or lighter. Or breakable things that are displayed on shelves.

By the time a child is 3, if your toddler is still not to be trusted being alone in the living room for a few minutes while the toilet is used, you haven’t disciplined them properly.

It drives me nuts watching my grandkids pulling pictures, vases, candles etc off of shelves. Or parents putting all things out of reach. These things are some of the best teaching tools. No amount of yelling, or distracted parent can train self discipline when opposed to childrens destructive curiosity. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE for parents time fully immersed into their childrens day.

If you cannot have one parent, or grandparent dedicate days on end to do that, and would rather work or let others raise them, get sterilized. Babies do not raise themselves. If not you, someone else will take your place. There is a reason why Chinese, Filipino, and even Mexican families have multi generational homes. BECAUSE IT WORKS.

I think you understand well my FRiend. Alternatively - do not provoke to anger or wrath. Not following this simple advice is an invitation for the deceiver to enter a child’s life.
