My brother has 2 boys, one of them is a smartazz, and he,s just 5. As a result of rap music what they play at his day care, he
know how to curse, and used some of it on my dad, needless to say he got his but torn up.
My brother, is mad about it, he thinks my dad should have told him so he could deal with the boy, what do you think?

since I'm probably older than your Dad, I'll say this...if a 5 year old cussed at me...he gets his ass paddled!

was Grand dadddy watching the five year old? Then Dad needs to close his mouth and accept grand dads beliefs nad discipline choices. HOWEVER, if Dad does not like the idea of anyone spanking the little one other than maybe him or mom, then he needs to sit down with grand daddy and explain what is acceptable and what isnt. And Grand daddy needs to accept the beliefs and abide by them.

Yeah doc, my dad is 59, and yes my parents were in town during july 4th, and took their grand kids to disneyland when the incident took place.
This boy talks back to adults constently, and curses like those guys in the rap video,s.
I think if my brother had said something to my dad, he may have got smacked too!

anyone who disciplines my children had better do so according to my beliefs...if he had paddled MY children, then he would have just guaranteed that he would never be placed in such a situation again. ever. NOBODY lifts a hand to my kids.

of course, disciplinary measures should be discussed BEFORE the children are in the position to need them.

Well, if you were my father,s child, your your kids were unruly
he would have beat there azz, and yours too had you said something about it!

then he wouldn't be allowed around my children.

period. and good luck with anyone trying to beat MINE.

Will you relax!

If I swore at my parents Lord help me.I think Granddad did what he's always done.Bet junior doesnt say mutha@@#$$ anytime soon.

well if your brother was handling the situation

it would not have happend in the first place

that is as you said learned behavior

were is he learning it

and remove him from it

if yer neighbors 17 year old drives wreckless
and is going to end up killing someone dis able the vehicle
problem solved


remove the bad influence

and the 5 year old

behaves much better

and this is not an issue

but hey what do i know

oh my gawd, that spanking happened 2 weeks ago, and he has not acted up since, before leaving back to texas, my dad said to him if I hear of you saying those things again....I,ll be back!

Gld to hear it!!!

::laughs::

I think a new DAYCARE is in order. Although kids DO learn from other KIDS about swearing, fighting, hitting, biting, etc. Being five this is a most impressionable time frame. Lord have mercy! mine was swearing at 3 for petes sakes. Where did he learn it? from GRANDMA AND GRANDPA. (NOT my side of the family) and NOT good grandparents.
If it was my child i would NOT be happy having ANYONE spank or tear his butt up as it is being put. Behavior modification and a nice bar of SOAP in his mouth remedied my childs swearing. I also STOPPED all visits with the GRANDPARENTS. I finally had to it was THAT BAD. NOT ALL GRANDPARENTS ARE GOOD PEOPLE.

amen, barbie...

your child, i think...is similar to one of mine. they'd just do sooo much harm if they took that tactic with her.

You Dad did the right thing and i hope Mine would have done the same when it comes to correcting children you do it on the spot Parent or Grandparent **waitning** till dad gets home. After waiting the effect of what they had done wrong is gone.

Example...My Son Scrached the hell out my car riding his bike but I did not catch it for three days did I yell or punish him no because that far after the fact punishment does no good....

I think you brother should have also got his ass torn up for being such a wussy dad.

randomx...children are not animals. they CAN receive consequences after the fact...depending upon their age.

a two-year-old would not understand...but a child big enough to ride a bicycle should. however, it was most likely a complete accident...not intentional in the least.

he said the kid was 5, and repeated some bad language and was spanked by his grandpa whats wrong with that lulu.

i was commenting on HIS answer...regarding the child who scratched the car.

as to the other...i do not believe in striking a child, EVER...positive and negative reinforcement has been shown to be by far more effective than punishment.
