Title: Another ungrateful little kid
Post by: Canada Darrell™ on December 27, 2010, 06:29:29 PM
Every year someone posts this type of video under the "funny" column but it is just sad. Blame the parents who either let the kid watch too much commercial TV or spoil the little brats rotten all year. I miss the good old days when a good backhand would cure most problems. Heck anyone over 40 probably got a good whuppin' every now and then and we turned out OK right?  :good:

100% Darrell, one of the truest sayings was.....Spare the rod and spoil the child.

A good short, sharp backhander worked.

That's the thing with kids, they are a blank canvas and the parents paint the picture. Sorry but I just don't think the rod is the way, better to educate than discipline IMO.
You could slap that wee sh**e rightly but.

Any way, the parents are laughing about 'I hate books', so I know where the problem is. It's sweet dad and mum (it's always dad's and mum's fault, I know...).

BTW trying to raise one myself*, so I know how hard it is.  :'(


* me and my wife, i.e.  ;)

My Dad was an Army drill sergeant. 'Nuff said! I guess that's why I was never all that strict with Angie when she was growing up. Now that she's in her 30's, I'm still surprised how well her mother and I did.  :good:

As for the kid in the vid, he's why they came up with Krampus in the first place!
