C'mon folks we all got em' so lets hear about em! Whats some of your bad habits?

I Cuss A LOT <-----oops
I Bite my nails <----- slaphead
I Smoke daily <-----scared
I Eat to much Junk Food <-----ill
& I Yell at my kid constantly <------waving


i Have a ton more im sure but i wanna hear yours!


I obsess about my health. Is that really that bad though? I don't smoke, drink, bite my nails, cuss much, rarely eat junk food.
BTW, yelling at your baby constantly isn't a bad habit... its bad period.


Yeah it is but hes my kid and I raise him how I want...Noone else knows but me so go ahead and judge away!!! happy

I don't think they're judging. It's a fairly well know fact. Yelling at your child isn't really helping. Especially if you do it on a regular basis like you claim to do. Just my 2 cents.


WOW! I really shouldnt have put that you guys took it way to literally sorry my fault...So since everyone knows something i dont lets put it this way...Lets say you have a 15 month old little boy your a single parent and he comes home from his fathers house, you try to feed him, change him, etc. and when you do he smacks at you throws a screaming fit...you do what?

Since you seem to know what to do... I'm assuming that would be yell at him. What do you expect his response to be? When he comes home yelling and screaming, throwing fits... you doing the same in response is only reinforcing his bad behavior.

You tell him no, put him where he can't harm himself, and let him have his fit. Believe me, it will be challenging, but eventually when he sees fits don't get him attention they will calm down. Maybe not go away, but definitely be fewer and farther between.

I love when people use that to excuse away mistreating their children. My nephew (whom I raise) used to be like that too, but we just taught him that just because someone else lets him get away with things doesn't mean he can do it at home. Consistency works. Yelling constantly is emotional abuse.


Well thank you for your two cents because Im apparently emotionally abusing my child....You dont know me or my life. Yeah your right Consistency WOULD work...but considering he goes to his fathers for 3 days out of the week and they constantly teach him the opposite of what i am just to spite me its pretty hard to keep "consistency"

Have you tried to talk to his father about this or do you yell and scream at him too? I'm sure the guy deserves it if you do, but this isnt' about you or him.. its about your son. Don't take your frustrations about your ex out on your son. You CAN be consistent at home. He will eventually learn that just because daddy lets him doesn't mean mommy will. BUT YOU HAVE TO BE CALM AND CONSISTENT.

Judging from your responses to the judgments, you sound more like an "outburst" Mom instead of a "constantly yelling." Truthfully, you listed it as a "bad habit" not a way of life!

Seems you're gettin' hit with a lot of stones. Might wanna duck!

Coppenhagen fine cut....Iknow it's discusting.
Chasing the best women...I'll stop when I die.
Missing my ex wife.......I stopped that today.



Btw, Lady that started this thread. It's your kid, I'm sure if you were a bad mother then child services would have cought you by now. My parents yelled constantly, and I thank them for it, at least I didn't turn out to be one of the common lazy peices of s*** that commonly comes from weak parenting that lets the child get whatever they want.....
And I had to say it, but at least you are there for that child.

I hope your mood gets better.

I thought that's how you were supposed to eat it, and if it's not, then how else are you supposed to eat it?
