Post what you are thinking at this very moment

I must be having a bad day. I do not feel like tolerating a child who's parents have not taught him the concept of respecting boundaries today.

I've a friend coming up with her daughter and dog for two nights, then they leave and another comes Sunday-Thurs with two younger kids. Then Fri-Sun two couples. Question, should I start taking the Zanex now or wait till I really need it?

It depends. Do they have a system of rules and consequences for the kids? Because my cousin has absolutely none. She threatens but doesn't follow through when he defies her. If it's like that, put your guns, knives, blunt tools, and baseball bats away. You will be seriously tempted... like I'm being right now.

First group I'm not worried about, second group...... Last year she got wasted for 5 days and left the kids to fend for themselves. Not bad kids though. I already locked the guns up for both my safety and theirs.

Who was that girl i liked ? Still she her ?

And I'm so frustrated, because I can't say anything. He's not my kid. It's not my place to tell someone how to raise their kids. He's just trespassing in my domain.

Parents need a strict set of rules. If the kids defy the rules, then there needs to be a reasonable set of consequences for each rule broken. There has to be a punishment. And parents have to be consistent with these rules and consequences, or else the kids will never listen or respect the parents.

My cousin has it worse: She's a divorced mother, she's always been very meek and timid, letting people walk all over her for all of her life, now including her kid. Her ex-husband is a piece of shit asshole who undermines her every effort with this kid, he lets the little bastard get away with murder, and she can't do anything about it because her ex-husband's family all works in the family court system of Philadelphia. Nepotism. He gets all the favors. She got royally screwed in the divorce proceedings. I'm surprised she has custody rights at all. She was ordered to pay for his business's insurance for 5 years, even though she was an unemployed stay at home mother during the marriage. How the fuck does that happen in this pro-woman family court system that RBP's been railing against for years? In liberal-controlled Philadelphia, no less.

I swear, if I was up there, I would have murdered the ex-husband's entire family line by this point.

But she needs to make a stand with this kid or she's going to have it so much worse when he hits his teens. She's been living her entire life with this little black cloud over head woe-is-me attitude all her life. She needs to assert herself, stand up for herself...

I don't remember which one, Most of the girls I knew then are in relationships now, still keep in touch tho.

Up to a certain point I agree, once the kid crosses my imaginary line and the parent doesn't say anything the new policy becomes "My house, My rules" You aren't the kids dad but he sure as hell better show respect IN YOUR HOUSE. And that would include talking back to his mother.

Me and a buddy had a long discussion about this once. The best way for us to deal with Mexico would be to actually invade it and annex it into the United States. Sure at first it would be a mess, but in the long run I think it would be better than what we have now.

Huh. How is that better than the liberal opinion to just eliminate borders? Or the liberal opinion that North America should be one union?

I prefer sovereignty.

If you eliminate borders, then Mexico retains its corrupt government. If we invade and take over, our corrupt government takes control.
