Northwest Indiana Gun Owners # 25 good morning all.

[KLB]

At a restaurant, I felt like Sadclown.
A kid was whining/crying the entire time.
Parents were trying to console the kid, bribe him to stop.

It normally doesn't bother me.
But after a while I was waiting for the dad to act like my dad, and tell him if he didn't stop, he'd give him something to cry about.

Alas, we are in a 'better' time... supposedly.

I used that line once or twice back in the day.

I used that line once or twice back in the day.

I had that line said to me by my dad once or twice a day back in the day

Well, of course I learned it from mine too.

 

[actaeon277]

And it worked.


But now, we don't want to be cruel, so the behavior goes on and on and on and on.

Another thing I would do is never give one of the boys anything they cried for. Throw a fit, go to your room until you are done. They learned pretty quickly to quit throwing fits when they wanted something.

Yup.

Do the discipline early, and maybe you won't be on Springer crying because your kid threatens to kill you.

Tuesday morning and going to be a long slow week at work.

As I watch my three year old grandson being raised, I have a lot of thoughts on this subject that I don’t have time right now to talk about. I will say this, it was a lot easier with the old ways. All it took was one look from my ironworker dad, and you knew what the next step was, and you’d do about anything to avoid the next step. Made for a lot less drama.

Alexa said high of 88 in Crown Point, but TWC only says 85.

 

[sadclownwp]

Good morning everyone. I hope you are all doing well. Well at least everyone south of the ghetto, lol.

 

[CTC B4Z]

Yea ok

 

[CTC B4Z]

[actaeon277]

I thanked someone for holding the door for me.

He said he was raised to help the elderly.

Ugh

 

[marvin02]

He said he was raised to help the elderly

Wasn't raised to be polite though. Could have phrased that better.

I hate when you are 30 feet away and someone holds the door open.

Ugh

You should’ve asked him to wash your car

I don't move fast, but I feel pressured to get there ASAP so they don't have to hold it forever.

Being the guy holding the door is equally as stressful…..

If I go to hold it….. and youre slow I have to wait and feel bad for rushing you. But if I let the door go and you pick up the speed door slams in your face…..

That's when you give the door a little extra of a push and hope for the best...
