You know what got to me? - Page 3

That sounds awfully like something that happened to my mother once. She was gettind spanked by her own mom, announced, "That didn't hurt" and promptly got another spanking which [i] did[/].

I was also told, when I was a kid, that if I ever got paddled at school, I was getting it again when I got home, no questions asked.

When I got in trouble, it was usually something big.

I was always afraid of either losing my parent's respect, or having them being disappointed in me. On top of that, I've always been insanely hard on myself (that's how my friends describe it). When my parents realized that, they slacked off a bit on punishments. Now, I can move past most of my mistakes, but I always try to remember them so I don't repeat them.

I also got good at doing things that were probably borderline, but taking steps to NEVER get caught. Like painstakingly putting everything back in place after I was done.

Asha- You need to AT LEAST change the sheets after you have a girl in your parent's bed! That's common Courtesy! SHEESH!

Shazbot!

Ah Asha.... What is it with the strange infatuation of sleeping with someone in you parents' bed? I mean, why? Personally, my bed would be way better... a little smaller, yes, but that means it's oh so cosier

XMEN Ashaman DTM · 10-02-2002, 10:30 PM

I didn't have that happen. I was just saying "Shazbot" because I had never thought of that...

Ambush_Bug · 10-02-2002, 11:34 PM

The absolute worst: Misbehaving in a public place, and hearing the dreaded words.... "When we get home, you are getting a spanking."

Oh, I'd try and be nice for the rest of the trip out in public, perhaps help Mom with the groceries if we had been out in a store or something, anything to make her happier. Never worked. "Come here!" she'd say, and that horrible sense of DOOM came crashing in.

Ick. I got the paddle. At least it wasn't grandpop's barber's strop. OY.

As for the teacher stuff, yeah, I know all about it. Mom had to get all kinds of schooling to get a better pay grade, Master's degree, the whole ball o' wax.

When I had her for 8th grade Lit (yes, I had my own mom for a teacher in public school... THAT WAS A HELL YEAR.) I realized how it was she managed not to have discipline problems in class. It was so simple it was almost funny.... she demanded respect... and got it. It was not quite like having a DI for a Lit teacher, but close.

And Rogue... nothing against the area you live in, but the entire vibe I get outta the Dallas/Ft. Worth area is that 'salt of the earth' folks get crapped on socially 'cause they aren't 'refined' enough. Christ in a sidecar, staying at home and raising the kids is DAMN TOUGH. I saulte you!

Ft. Worth isn't nearly as bad in that respect as Dallas, Bug. Living in Arlington we get some of both attitudes.

XRogue · 10-03-2002, 08:33 AM

Thanks, Bug.

Gam's right tho, not everybody craps on me for staying home. And I am very grateful for having the luxury to do so. Even on days like today when my bare feet are sticking to my kitchen floor. :eek

Mind you, ppl who are rude to me about it get snapped at. And Gambit will tell you I have a very sharp tongue.

I had a teacher once who woulda been a good DI if he'd chosen to go military instead. Marvelous teacher, he was, may his tribe increase.

I really don't belive that I missed this thread. But any way about parents complaining to the school about what they don't do. I have one thing to say.

A lot of people have kids. But there are so few parents.

Its like todays parents think that their not accountable for what their children do. Thats to bad that people think that way. With what American teacheres have to put up with is anyone really suprised that we are raising several generations of idots. The United States has the lowest education rating in the world. Belive me I notice in what my kids are learning and I am glad they are not in an American school. I also teach my older child (that lives with me) things that I think he should know and we enjoy watching Discovery and National Geographic chanel togeather.

I feel sorry for the teachers in just about every respect. I also feel sorry for the students, they are paying the price for lack of education.

Well put and right on.
