This is great ! AND I for one think these old ways of parenting need to be re-instated ! I work in a busy ER and I know I must be getting old when I can barely tolerate how horribly misbehaved some children are . I get hit, kicked , spit on etc , and the parents just let it happen ! I had an 11 year old spit her medicine on me TWICE the other night , mom says awwww please take your medicine ! I somehow don't think this girl has heard these ! OK sorry I could really rant here LOL.

Wow, I have heard every single one of those.
|
I have heard (and said) every one of them. And it took me years to get my eyes not to cross!
|
I remember. Did bring back memories. Even my children remember some.
|
I heard some of them. I'm with raedar63. Seems to be lots of brats nowdays. Parents are afraid to damage their egos.
