Parents and discipline

[wombat2u2004]

Moderatly so if i remember correctly. It's a cousin to the brown recluse.

I thought i knew what a brown recluse looked like (Big, fat, chocolaty brown and hairy... nope!) until i looked up many photos on them... look almost identical to the yellow sac spider. ...turns out we have brown recluses around here too. Just days before i had spared one's life because i just thought it was an extra pretty yellow.

OK, just looked it up... I didn't want to overstate it's poisonousness... I understated it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_sac_spider

Hmmmmmm...interesting, it seems to be mildly poisonous.
I like reading about spiders, ever since I had a run in with some funnel webs here in Aust.

Cataholic - If there was a continent with no children, you know I'd be there! Until that happens though, we're not even allowed to have child-free housing communities because parents scream "DISCRIMINATION!" (At least, not until we're of retirement age)

Maybe if we were allowed to have child-free restaurants, housing communities, movie theaters, etc...we wouldn't get so annoyed at them at regular places. But we're not.

the things I have seen parents do? I recall being at a doctors office when some kis was playing with a train all over the lobby, and taking every toy of the box etc.. when the kids mom told him to put the toys away, he ignored her. when she threatned to punnish him he still ignored her.....so she picked up the toys herself and put them away... way to teach him a lesson!

I work in a pharmacy, you have no idea how often I become babysitter, it amazes me how many parents let their 2 years old have free run of the store, and dont so much as LOOK in their childs direction till they are leaving.

on the other end I have seen some really good ones too. one of the youngest mothers that comes into the store has the sweetest most well behaved daughter you will ever meet. or our carlton card rep. she brought her mentally disabled son once, she did NOT give the kid special breaks, if her kid started running around the store screaching, she punnished him. period.
