Thanks, I have been really surprised by people here critical of a parent being a parent. There is no official handbook, and if there was, would everybody really want the government telling us to raise their children? I am not perfect, but none of my boys have ever had to miss school because their black eye hasn’t healed yet. Put the emphasis where it belongs. Baldwin has a different political outlook than I do, but I felt as if I was eavesdropping on a very personal conversation, that I had no business listening to.

"...I have been really surprised by people here critical of a parent being a parent..."

hleewilder, I could not disagree with this statement more forcefully. What this man said to his daughter is NOT parenting. You sound like you had a rough life growing up, but that is not, repeat, NOT parenting. It might seem that way to you because that is all you knew growing up, but someone who speaks to a child like that has no business being involved in any way whatsoever raising that child.

I apologize if I have piled on you, but what you said is just not right. That is NOT a case of a parent being a parent.

I guess I missed the part about abusing my kids being okay.

You think abuse is fine most of us don’t.

The parent using their child is Alec. He clearly does not love her. If he did he never would call her a pig or consider it making a butt out of himself to get to a phone.
