So seriously, dont say i dont discipline my child, unless you are a parent, you have no clue, so dont even try. Its rude, its inconsiderate and its down right hurtful as a friend. Thats all I am going to say, i dont know anyway else to put it.

venting :)
I am a mom, and i think i do a decent job at it. I feel like God gave me my child for a reason, so i do good. I also think that if you are not a parent you have absolutely no right to say anything about parenting. There are hundreds of books, hundreds of comments said daily, hundreds of thoughts from rude people, that really dont know. I am a christian so I am going to raise my son in a Godly home, I am going to teach him right from wrong, Im going to teach him everything i possibly know to give him the knowledge to be in this world. Right now he is 19 months old and he is starting the terrible twos. Its going to be a fun stage, i can feel it. He is absolutely wearing me out, but i discipline him. I tell him no, Im not afraid to spank him no matter where i am, I put him in time outs, I use the ONE...TWO...THREE method, and i think he listens. Yes, he is trying my patience these days, he is making it much harder to be able to punish him with that cute little face. He is trying everything he can possibly do to see if he can get away with it. Thats what they do, I've heard. My mom taught me well, and you better believe I will be teaching my kids the way she taught me.

You go girl. Joseph can testify to your discipline of Aiden. The following day after you watched my kids, in random conversation, Joseph mentioned that you had spanked Aiden.
ReplyDelete"Oh," I said. Eager for yet another teaching opportunity, I asked, "Why did she do that?"
"Because Aiden wasn't listening to her," he responded.
"So did he deserve it?" I asked.
"Yeah."
So Joseph gets it. As will Aiden as you stay consistent over the years.
I'm sorry that there are those who are making you feel like you don't discipline you kid. True true how you don't know how it really is until you're in the 'thick of it' parenting. The many comments I would take back that I made in ignorance, had I known what I know now. Just remember: they really just don't know, even though they THINK they do. It's a good reminder for ANYONE in ANY area of life where we judge without being in that persons shoes. Love ya.
:) THANK YOU, you are so encouraging cindy! love you
ReplyDeleteI know this was posted a while ago, but I want to tell you...the comments will never stop. I am proud of you for standing up for yourself. Being a Godly parent is no always easy and the twos, that is a whole other story. Hang in there and be true to God and your family and really no one else's opinion matters anyway! We mommies have to stick together when this kind of thing happens. You are a good mommy!
