Lol

Yeah I’ve got 3 girls much older

I remember those days

My oldest daughter is 26 now. A successful CFP at Vanguard who just
Bought her first house.

She’s can be a “bitch”. Full blown

Doesn’t mean we don’t love em to death. Some days it’s just harder to feel that love.

Middle girl is an angel. Youngest one is a combo

Amazing the differences in all 3

It’s almost like I see my oldest in your girl there. Good luck lol

I call my 7 year-old daughter a "bitch" to her face, but while we are play fighting and in a sarcastic manner only, never in anger. It usually elicits a slap or similar insult from her. In our household, sarcastic insults are the norm (both from and to my kids and me--usually if my wife is swearing, she's actually mad) and swearing is not punished (though discouraged if excessive and gratuitous). It relates to my teaching them to not let words hurt you. If you allow yourself to be offended or affected by words, you give the person saying those words power over you that they don't deserve. If your dad flips you off and calls you a name as a way of showing affection, my theory is that you will be less offended and be able to laugh off a similar offense from someone else. And this hasn't made my 5 kids into little shits. They are all top students and are well liked by their teachers, friends, and friends' parents. There is a lot of fun and love in my house.

My mom screamed at me once and called me a "shithead" for tracking mud into the house. It was pretty traumatic!!!

Same here

A child addressing a parent like that is unacceptable and recording it is sending her the wrong signals. I wouldn't normally offer that opinion, but you did ask.

The thing about kids is that you think you know how to raise them...until you have them. Then all of your preconceived notions of parenthood goes out the window. Like Ralph, I would not trade them for anything in the world.

I have three and love them to death. Sure there are times when they drive me nuts, but I committed to myself years ago that I would love them unconditionally. Having said all that, the one that has taught me more about the world, society, life, and myself is my youngest who is Autistic. Having a child who has special needs takes your ship in a completely different direction to where you thought you were going.

I bet she didn't even color those pictures either. You only using blue was the giveaway.

That's pathetic dude....

Yeah, kids are crazy. I have 2 girls 2 years apart. First one, completely reasonable like I mean at 2-3 y.o. you could REASON with her. #2, great baby complete nightmare as a toddler. All of you giving the OP shit have probably never had their face literally scratched by a 3 y.o's nails trying to strap them into a car seat at 6:30am after fighting for 20 minutes about what fucking socks to wear THAT SHE PICKED OUT HERSELF LAST NIGHT!

Anyway, never needed to spank #1 for anything, #2 got a WOOO, paint stirrer a few times to get her attention when she was having a tantrum (still holes in the wall from door slamming), it's made out of balsa wood FFS. Amazingly, at like 3 years and 9 months and 13 days she flipped into a fantastic human being. Go figure...they are now 12 and 14 so we'll see.

Hope for you she never googles "paris hilton"...

This thread is weird. I would never post a video of my kid. Whatever works for you I guess.

I always fear there will be some deviant jerking off to it for sure, so yeah, don't post pics/vids of your kids on the internet.

That seems like an unnatural fear for someone named Mcluvin....

All this helicopter parenting you guys are talking about is why I see 20-somethings showing up with their mothers to job interviews.

Maybe you should worry less about predators and more about equipping then to live their lives.

Or think she knows what she wants.

Ya, my kids best friends are mr Smith and Mr wesson

100% man.

I fired a guy that was 26 and still living at home. When he was late for the 2nd day in a row of almost 90 minutes, I rolled his tool box out in the parking lot. I kid you not, his mother called me to plead for his job. When I told her I was running an automotive business with expectations and not a babysitting service, I got called an asshole and hung up on. This happened 60 days ago.

Rest assured, my kids do not know me by that name. It's just a great character from a great movie.

Yes generational. That word is used so loosely now and can be said on the radio. Hell, just saw this on "Today's Deals" on Amazon a few minutes ago.

I dont care if its generational or not. I simply said I would never call my daughter that. Especially at 3 yrs old. I guess I was just raised right, 60 yrs ago

No doubt. My little girl (20) is a self proclaimed bitch that was (and is) a handful, but I have no doubt that she’s going to rule the world some day. Good for you honey, you go bitch.

went to a dinner party a few years back at a friends house..my friends wife got up to cut the meat for a 14 year old with no disability and make his dinner plate up..later during the meal this kid tapped on his glass with a spoon and his mom jumped up to fill his glass..i comment that i had not seen that shit since i watched king Arthur the movie..the rest of the dinner was stone cold silence

That bitch is in check!

WOW that's insane, feel sorry for his future wife...

That kid is going to end up drug addicted at an early age and the mom will be buying him whatever he wants.

Once he dies, again at an early age, the mom will be devastated and wonder where the kid went wrong.

She will have no clue.

i think it's admirable that you find it disrespectful to call you daughter, or possibly any woman a "Bitch", so you don't ever do it. You should uphold your values and practice them without fail. And it's even fine that you find it necessary to state that. The issue for me is the finger waving you display following your comment, both in tone and w an emoji for clarification. In some families it's a term of endearment, for when someone's being sassy. Doesn't mean you have to do it, or like it. But really what's worse?.. calling your daughter a "Bitch" as a term of endearment, or judging a stranger's parenting because they do something you wouldn't do?

wait, don't answer that. it's rhetorical.

Read this too WTF!

You shouldn't spank your kids...My mother spanked me once, ONCE..

He didn't call her a bitch to her. It was written on what was supposed to be a funny post. Sheesh.

Maybe if she logs into Pinside in 10 yrs she'll get upset.

You got it right, pure shit!

Maybe if she logs

I think with any thread or topic on this site you got the more relaxed people who will see the funny side of this topic and probably are in similar situations then you get the people with slightly tighter morals that have issues with it no matter what you post on this site someone will disagree or be offended.

Why is it the people who complain the most about "these kids, today", are there ones raising "these kids, today"?
