Calling all Geeks: Looking for some parenting advice or suggestions...

[kutulu 1,728]

Your all over the map in this thread, kutulu. From the initial email it sounds like you are sleeping during the day/early evening some while your daughter is home. Maybe she can tuck you in, read you a story? My 6 yr old would get a kick out of that.

 

Yeah, sometimes I need to take a big nap after my real job.

 

 

Also also I agree with meph and tng: your wife, and perhaps you, need to learn how to parent your kid..

 

This is what I am trying to avoid.

[wiffleball 4,800]

I'm very busy playing online poker and ignoring my kids...HTH.

 

Perhaps you should do like Torrid and Frigid Ho do and have conversations via internet message boreds like this and the Sanct. That way, you guys get to communicate - without actually speaking - whilst gaining insight from childless internet losers.

I was thinking I could just buy her something that would fix the problem. I would rather not put any real effort into it, if at all possible.

I already said that was all she wanted. Go for it. Maybe she'd like her own e-mail account so she could talk to you just like mommy does.

Maybe your daughter is so hormonal because she is pregnant.

I thought it was from the Micky D's hamburger kid's meals I buy her 15 times a week.

You can get pregnant from them? The toys must be test tubes, frozen eggs, and man yogurt.

Obviously, because your 7yo had a tantrum this directly means you are a BAD parent. Thus, you should be thrown in jail with all the dog killers and drug dealers.

I don't think that anyone is telling him he's a BAD parent.

 

If the kid is 7 and is being physically and verbally abusive to the mom, and it's because "daddy isn't around" (whereas daddy IS around), then, IMO there is a deeper issue here that needs addressing.

 

I am willing to bet that when this girl doesn't get her way, tantrums are her way of getting it. I mean, read the email from Mrs. Kutulu. She sat in the rocking chair with the girl for 20 minutes, she cried all morning, etc.

 

I am sorry, but my five year old starts pulling this whining and crying sh!t and I tell him, "When you stop crying and calm down, we will talk. So, go in your room until you're done." The crying stops almost immediately and his tune changes. I have even told him that he's more likely to have me listen to what he wants when he talks to me like a big boy rather than whine or cry.

 

IMO, SEVEN year olds should NOT be having tantrums as seriously as this one was.

I pretty much know I'm a bad parent. I just want this crying crap to go away. Especially when I am watching football or trying to sleep.

That's easy. Punch her in the head until she passes out. After she has a few naps, she will stop crying and start to hide from you.

I don't really want to resort to that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again.

Would you suggest taking her door off the hinges?

 

Why would I suggest that?

The requires being a good parent.... so the tantrums won't stop.

 

My apologies for thinking you were serious.

I am serious. I am going to take your and pancakes suggestions and see if we can nip this in the bud. But if we can't laugh at my pitiful parenting skills, what can we laugh at?

It didn't stop your mom?

Background: kutulu has a seven year old daughter. kutulu recently took a part time job to pay down some debt....overnights, avg. 4 nights per week. well, baby girl kutulu isn't dealing with this change to well. Here's an email from Mrs. kutulu that may detail it better than I can: Any Geek ideas out there that might help the situation? I plan on doing the suggestions above, but I think I need to bust out the big guns for this problem...she is usually a really happy go lucky kid, but she is a big time Daddy's girl.

TIA

Oh yeah, can size: mosquito bites

 

 

The only thing I can come up with is that she will probably start stripping when she is 18 and then have HPV and a checkerboard baby by the time she is 20.

 

HTH

So you are saying I don't have anything to worry about.

[TommyGavin 790]

I hope your're talking about your kids

 

yes MY younger ones (not the older ones that would like nothing better then thier parents ignoring them).

[peenie 2,043]

you don't really want me to answer this one do you?

[mujack 0]

Seeing how your kid is all focked up, probably not.

Hey...either way, I'm sleeping good tonight.

[jerryskids 7,291]

I for one would like to see your response. kutulu is too retarded to take his parenting problems seriously, perhaps you could add some spice to this thread.

[The Moz 72]

There is no way other than quit your PT job. If you need the Job to make ends meet - then try to spend as much as you can with her on Weekends and such ( double your efforts even if it means not watching Football on Sundays ).

 

I work 12-14 hours a day ( leave at 6am home at 7pm ) factoring in commute and don't see my kids other than Weekends and the only game I watch is the 2nd half of the Sunday night game and MNF and spend all my time with my kids when I am home.

 

[Rattlesnake 0]

Lay off the alcohol and stop making your daughter pay for your financial issues. Let the debt ride awhile, drop the other job, and spend the time with your kid. Money comes and goes, kids don't.

[kutulu 1,728]

I knew I would get a few crap pot responses, but this isn't even remotely funny.

[TommyGavin 790]

Taking parenting advice from tng

 

[FSW Mephisto 0]

Moz and Rattlesnake... if he leaves after she goes to bed and is home before she gets up. Your advice is nice, but likely - he tantrums having nothing to do with his PT job.

Without reading any of the blah blah blah, Id have to say smackthe Mrs upide the head for emailing this crap when she could just yank the cord of your laptop and tell you face to face that you need some quality time with the offspring.

I'm in the market for some new ass.

Where was the part about not spending quality time with my kids?

[gratefulted 14]

Sit her down and tell the little whiny snot nosed brat that if she wanted to keep being fed clothed and sheltered that daddy has to work extra hours, if she doesn't see the light to that you might need to grab her and start vigorously shaking her until she does see it.

This is the kind of quality advice I expected from the rest of you focks!

 

 

 

 

 

edit: this thread actually did give me an idea and for this I thank you.

 

here's to me remembering what it is tomorrow.

 

 

 

[kutulu 1,728]

Woke the child up extra early today so she could hang out with me a little in the morning. While still in bed explained to her that we can't have these tantrums as they are unacceptable and not going to change the current situation. I also gave her a morning "chore" to do each morning to help out daddy. She is in charge of starting up my car in the morning so I don't freeze on my way to work. She gets to start the car with my remote starter. This seemed to make her happy. Got a few more ideas as a result of this thread that I will be instituting in the next couple of days.
