minor parenting malfunction...

one of the greatest experiences as a human is to help a young human understand society and learn how to operate amongst fellow humans w/o increasing the level of suffering of all parties involved.

sadly, many humans cannot honestly claim to have done the above. some of us actually create new levels of suffering in the effort to educate our young humans.

it is oddly ignorant to forget that children are only different from adults with respect to experience, physical & biological development. people will smack the shit out of a child in the name of punishment, which is often confused w/discipline, but would never do such a thing to a peer.

wouldn't it be great if i could smack the shit out of the bus driver who makes sarcastic comments when i ask if the bus sign indicating the direction of travel is correct? PLAP! don't sass me you smart assed bus driver...

quite absurd...

i don't think corporal punishment is effective. the side effects are not worth the overall results. fuck it. i speak from personal experience as a child & a parent.

i've had slip ups w/my godren. the truth is that such behavior towards young humans by adults is usually reactionary & highly emotional. not much in the way of a lesson to teach respect & discipline by threatening & beating the godren.

it's an evil & difficult cycle to break.

make like i enjoyed being abused by my egg donor...

PEACE
...be calm...
