Can Somebody Beat that Kids Ass


Hiya Peeps,
I really hate ill mannered or badly behaved people unless their inappropriate antics are fuelled by one too many cocktails. whoop, whoop!
If your a parent you will need this, and lots of it
 I feel no differently when I consider children. Unlike most adults who all seem to love children I mostly do not.  While politically incorrect, small children do not insight the same warm fuzzy feeling inside that they do for most adults.  Unless their parents happen to be a very close friends, or family members.  Even then I can do without the stuff that inevitably comes with small people like painfully doting parents who have lost all semblance of their personality BC (before child) and are consumed with the joys of parenthood. Involuntary bodily functions, oh and of course  challenging behaviour.
Diddy has not let parenthood consume him. lol
All of the above is much more acceptable to me when we are dealing with a child that is under 5 as let’s face it little miss/mr are learning to be in the world that is very confusing even for most adults.  This age group deserve a pass. I know i’m not  the only one that has noticed and endemic of badly behaved little heathens? The worst part is they seem to be attached to parents who either can’t or won’t discipline them.  I was never one for physical punishment I always believed that behaviour management should be bespoke and fit the personality of the child. But should generally involve some loss of privileges and a discussion. However I have come round to the idea of a good ass whooping.  

Parents are required to do much more than ever before what with all the expensive schools, clubs, tutoring classes etc..... you would think that most people would be producing mini Einstein’s who were cultured and more informed than ever but instead the children that I come into contact with are just plain rude. I recently met a young child on his way to church with his Grandmother he was around  7ish I said good morning to this little brat after exchanging pleasantries with his gran and you know I’m still waiting for a response.  But the most shocking part of this exchange for me was that granny didn’t challenge this behaviour but instead said to me that he doesn’t talk much. NO what you mean is this little demon has no manners.  Furthermore, by not correcting him society will have to deal with your families’ failure to manage his behaviour effectively in our classrooms, on public transport and of course in the street.


I can’t imagine being in the same position as a small child and not being compelled to respond in kind. Either with a, you wait till you get home type stare or a box right there in the street. The fear of such reprimand, not to mention the follow –up beating when I got home; kept my siblings and I well behaved in public forums most of the time.  Which gets me to thinking that we need to raise the next generation with less talk and more action. In order to create clear boundaries that are universally clear. Especially for the adults who seem unable to  step it up as they are crippled by the guilt of poverty, complex family dynamic and what ever label society has chosen to name your families issues. Some-times a spade is just a freekin spade. Chuh!

  1. Wow! This kid clearly got you on a bad day miss haha. I don't know about the re-introduction of physical punishment (especially when preceded by premeditative intent as your "wait until you get home..stare" comment implies BUT kids have, are and will be running a muck.

    My personal view is that kids are given too much, not from 5 or 13 but right from birth whether the child wants it or not, needs or not, understands it or not. Children's wants are so fleeting but parents today seem to give without limit. By the time they reach 18 they have every 'adult' luxury there ever was without ever having to work for it. The biggest adult luxury being choice. I feel this is what is producing rude children. Why is a parent asking 5 yr old Paul what he'd like for dinner as if his response is valid compared to what the parent should about a balanced diet. Or wondering if 3yr old Adrian wants to watch movie A, B or C for £8 a ticket when he won't even stay awake to see it all. Or letting 12yr old Monique play out till 11pm because she's having fun with here friends when you know you saw that kid go missing on the news last week...(I could go on)

    But why are parents doing it? Well for some, the mentality of "my kids should have better than what I did" has blown up big time. For others they feel kids are a personal reflection on them therefore 'the 1yr old must have a designer buggy and weekly meals at mc Donald's otherwise I won't be impressive to other parents'.

    I often wonder if those parents suffering potential personality loss are compensating for something? Though it's easy for non-parents to talk isn't it...

    Don't worry it'll be our turn soon then we'll know for sure.

    NL :)))
