Smacking

[Dave the OAP]

In perfect harmony

With somethimng something eees
and hunny bees
and snow white turtle doves

 

[tedebear]

I don't believe in smacking, my son wouldn't understand (nor could I expect him to) that he can't hit me, but its ok for me to wallop him back. There is nothing inside me that can reconcile that. He gives me the odd hit, but at this age its all about wanting a reaction, to keep Mummy interested in me and not for Mummy to go off and do something he doesn't want to do. So right now, if he gives me a hit, then I calmly take away a train, if he hits me again, I pack away the whole lot and so on. That he understands, and the hitting is subsiding. Everytime he does something super, like when he just put all his toys in the toybox before his nap, then he gets more attention that he'll know what to do with including kisses, cuddles, tickles and his current favourite - butterfly kisses!! Its working for us...

Sometimes he does wind us right up (end of the day is often when this happens), and rather than retaliate I walk out of the room and take a short 5 somewhere else...he often comes twaddling to find me and gives me a pat on the leg and says sworrry muuuum

Can't f***ing leave it can you you twat? Even when you have been given an out from your daft arguments you have to sneer back and call me a ****. Little watery digit that you are. f***ing Keyboard warrior. You come across as some weasly little suck up shitbag. Exactly like I said earlier- insult someone as you are running away. You are a joke, a f***ing pair of clown shoes. You and your buddy. f***ing dick.

You were making a proper dick of yourself and I tried to turn it into a joke and you still can't take the hint and shut the f*** up. You have some serious f***ing issues, you cannot debate properly you just bang on that someone said this and someone that like a little maggoty schoolchild. Looks someone should have given you a few digs as a kid, the maybe you wouldn't have grwon up to be such a weasly, whiny, pedantic, obsessive little shit.

You sit there winding people up and going on and on and on and say shit like WOOO, Mr Angry! Of course people get angry with you, people get angry at all snivelling little shits who like to wind up but never add anything useful.

You are a pedantic shitheel.

Blimey. I come back from a very pleasant few minutes outside in the warm sunshine and discover that someone seems to have exploded.

Sorry Nipple, mate, that is the best laugh I've had in f***ing ages!

Where's lover boy Les, anyway. I thought he'd be on here winding you up, instead of leaving it to Bozza and Rusty.

He he! No but Zef could learn a thing or two from his son

(I'd feel a bit odd if Zef called me his Mum - have you ever met her? )

How to make the PERFECT omelette

1. One omelette will serve one person and, because it is so quick to make, it's not worth cooking a large one for two. So, according to how hungry you are, use 2-3 large eggs per person. For omelettes, the fresher the eggs the better, but up to two weeks old is fine. Just break the eggs carefully into a bowl and season with salt and freshly milled pepper. Blend the egg yolks and whites with a large fork – the number one rule is not to over-mix – no beating or whisking. At this stage you could add some snipped chives or perhaps 1½ oz (40 g) of grated cheese to the eggs if you like. These should be gently combined with the eggs using a fork.

2. The size of the pan is vital: too small and the omelette will be thick, spongy and difficult to fold, too large and the eggs will spread out like a thin pancake and become dry and tough. For a 2- or 3-egg omelette, the base should measure 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. I recommend using a mixture of oil and butter, ½ teaspoon of each. Place the pan on the heat and let it get quite hot, add the butter and oil and as soon as it melts swirl it round, tilting the pan so that the base and the sides get coated.

3. Turn the heat up to its highest setting – when I first demonstrated this on television I said, 'As hot as you dare' and that still stands – then when the butter is foaming, pour the eggs into the pan, tilting it to and fro to spread the eggs evenly over the base. Leave it on the heat without moving it for a count of five.

4. After this time a bubbly frill will appear round the edge. Now you can tilt the pan to 45 degrees and, using a tablespoon, draw the edge of the omelette into the centre. The liquid egg will flow into the space, filling it. Now tip the pan the other way and do the same thing. Keep tilting it backwards and forwards, pulling the edges so that the egg can travel into the space left – all this will only take half a minute.

5. Soon there will be just a small amount of liquid left, just on the surface, so now is the time to start folding. Tilt the pan again and flip one side of the omelette into the centre then fold again. Take the pan to a warm plate and the last fold will be when you tip the omelette on to the plate. Remember, an omelette will go on cooking even on the plate, so serve it immediately. For this reason it is important to have some liquid egg left before you start folding, but if you have left too much, leave it to set on the plate before eating. The perfect omelette is one just tinged with gold on the surface and very soft and squidgy on the inside.

Les is at Uni today and left me at the mercy of Rusthole and Bozza.

And he is not my lover boy. I've even been telling him to f*** off recently. Must be my time of the month or summit.

This thread is probably one of the best arguments for contraception.

I found natural childbirth helped!

 

[Nibble]

No, no. It is easy to control children you just have to hit them. That's right you see, all you do is inflict a desired amount of pain onto them and you can bend them to your will. Ok, if you did that to an adult, or an elderly person or even say a cat or a pet mouse you would be arrested but if it is your own little cherub you can give 'em a dig - it is fine.

 

[Easy 10]

You see the trouble is, folk such as Nibble take it to extremes to make a point. Nobody on here (as far as I can see) has advocated battering seven shades of shit out of a child for spilling their milk. But with Nibble, its dressed up as all part of the same thing.

I was smacked ONCE as a child, when I was about 6. Pratting about one day, I ran straight out into the road and was nearly hit by a car. My mum dragged me off and smacked my arse. My big sister was smacked once by my dad when she was about 11, when it emerged she had been THIEVING stuff from school (stationary, books, that kind of stuff).

Result ? I have never come close to being run over since, and my sister has never stolen since. We crossed a line, were suitably disciplined, learned the lesson and never did it again. Certain \"offences\" (for want of a better word) have to be driven home as more serious, simply more unacceptable than others. As far as I am concerned, my parent have been and still are superb in every respect.

 

[Deductions]

Whats this slapping nonsense all about?

What ever happend to the good old fashioned head stamp?

 

[binky]

Before I had children (9 and 5 years old), I was a believer in a sharp smack occasuionally being necessary. After all, it's what my parents did to me etc.etc.

Now, from a different perspective, I can say that through all the years of parenting, so far, neither my wife nor I have had any occasion to smack either of our children.
Yes, they have thrown tantrums. Yes, they need to be shown boundaries. Yes, we have to impose dicipline. But at no time, have we ever needed to physically chastise either of them.
For us, all that has been needed is to show the child how unhappy they have made us.

So does that mean that no child should ever be smacked ever?
To be honest, I don't know. It could be that some kids NEED some physical reinforcement of a life lesson. Are our current crop of ferral street chidren the result of too much parental discipline, (beatings), or too little. I'm not sure anyone has the figures to prove this either way.

Until I know, I would be extremely cautious about taking away a parents options in their task of socialising their children.

That is because in my opinion there is no excuse for hitting a child. I did not say anyone on here was batering their children I said that I can't condone even th elightest level of violence toward a child. You can dress it up anyway you like, calling it a slap, calling it a pressure on a protected area of the childs body, whatever it is hitting isn't it? It is violence isn't it?

 

[Nibble]

I mean people say oh it teaches them to behave, it teaches them boundries. No it doesn't teach a child anything. If violence taught children homework would be like this

Parent: What is 2 + 2

Child: 5?

Slap on the wrist!

It doesn't teach them anything it pacifies them.

 

[Easy 10]

Well according to your logic Nibble, my parents were child abusers because I got a smacked arse for running into the road.

As far as I am concerned, a short, sharp shock for a child does no harm whatsoever. That doesnt mean they should be smacked for every mistake they make, or every time they transgress and break the rules. But if what they have done is serious enough to warrant a smack (not a beating, a smack) then I see no harm in one being administered.

Thieving and stupidly putting a life at risk would, in my book, warrant a smacked arse.

You can draw what ever conclusions you like from my opinions.

 

[Nibble]

Hilarious that parents have the right to decide what wrrents corporal punishment. A form of punishment that has been banned in every other area of society.

Would you slap a retard if they stepped into the road? They have got to learn haven't they?
