Is this some kind of twisted “would ya” thread?

With the Jimmy V Classic happening this week, I always like to watch Jim’s speech at the 1993 ESPYs. Obviously very sad, but a lot of great messages here in terms of enjoying every day we have on this earth. I just love this. F cancer!

Nah. She has knobby knees. I wouldn’t want her to pop my water bed with those things.

Yeah, I think the whole point of the article is...well...duh!! ?? If your kids think they rule the roost, they are likely going to have tremendous issues in life. Especially in dealing with authority figures. If you as a parent allow them to be (or feel as though they are) in charge, you should be smacked in the forehead a few times with a piece of heavy mining equipment.

I think what he is saying is that your kids need to know that Mom and Dad are the authority figures. That is the central point of the article, no? My kids know that Mom and Dad are boss, but I don’t rule over them with an iron fist. I let them make mistakes and learn from them. When they make poor choices, I make sure that they are held accountable and know why they are culpable for their actions. I teach them to respect authority in general, but also when it’s appropriate to stand up against authority. Im pretty much parent of the year according to this old fogey! lmao

Maybe I am spoiling him? I choose to spend $2-3000 per year (and 15-20 hours per week of my time) for him to play hockey because he likes it. I could just as well spend $35 on the registration fee for rec basketball and another $100 on a ball and a pair of basketball sneakers. Tough titties little man...Daddy needs money for the car payment on my BMW. Couldn’t I? Believe me, there are a lot of things that I could spend that hockey money on. Perhaps a Caribbean cruise for the wife and I? My wife and I stopped after our 2nd child was born, and one of the main reasons for that was financial responsibility. We wanted to be able to afford everything that our kids needed and wanted (within reason), and also have money for things we like to do. What, exactly, do you think makes children spoiled? Is it giving them all the material things? Is it being a “bulldozer” parent and shielding then from any adversity in life? Does it happen when you make their “activities” the center focus of your adult life? What exactly does it mean for a child to be spoiled? I think you need to be more specific.

Know what? You’ve changed my mind. The little brat can find his own way to Stowe for his hockey game this Sunday. I’m gonna sleep in and then get ready for football. I need to live MY best life. He’ll either figure it out or be knocking on doors begging for a hot shower in 15 years. Self-important little prick that he’s become...?

My kids are always the top priority. I would (and often do) sacrifice just about anything for their need/benefit. My kids are not spoiled, but they want for nothing. Isn’t that what we sign up for when we choose to reproduce?

I’d let her piss in my coffee.

Yeah, and as someone named Bates Daley this caused me a great deal of childhood trauma.

Jarvis Landry. Scumbag. I more than dislike him.

Gets some drugs and hookers instead....

Watched the replay. I will say that Washington looks more “ready” than Goodine right now. I still say, in terms of bringing the rock up the court under pressure, JG3 is our guy.

Oh, so all we needed to do was make shots? lol. I see that Hughes spent some time at SG ?

I missed the game and forgot to record. What the hell happened other than Hughes going off. Is Ga Tech that bad? Jeebus...

Read an article on Twitter today about a way to “fix” the Orange line-up. PG: JG3 SG: Hughes SF: Dolezaj PF: Guerrier C- Sidibe Buddy would be first off the bench and could play SG or SF. Thoughts?

She’s busted. Kinda looks like the Grinch. Pass.

You’ve heard stories about my bachelor years?

It’s also the combination to my luggage.

Nancy Pelosi!! ???

Phyllis Diller. Knee jerk response...

Keep it going man! I don’t really understand the intent of his thread, but this is kind of fun ?

Ellen Degeneres?

Brett Kavanaugh? But where’s Tobin and Squee?

Rainn Wilson?
