when I saw the title of this thread, I couldnt wait to see what all the fuss is about. I figured it was a story of horrific neglector abuse, or another crack addicted mother pumping out a baby, or maybe some racist bigot teaching his kids to hate. See, although I pretend to be appalled at that stuff, it secretly pleases me to know what a better person/parent I am, compared to them.
Well I wasnt dissapointed!
This guy is the absolute worst!!! He is way way worse than the baby-in-the-microwave chick, or the one who heaved her mentally handicapped baby off a bridge. This guy is commiting the worst kind of abuse!
We should report him.
Just FTR…in Canada, if you strike the child, the Child Protective Services WILL remove said child until an investigation is completed…this is due to all the kids who are beaten/starved/neglected/raped/etc while remaining with the parents while under investigation.
I feel soooooo much more validated now that I have read what a lousy job he does as a father.
Not so long ago, MarkSerlin suggested that I would be a candidate for forced sterilization because i said if any man I was screwing hit one of my kids I would gut him like a fish. Do you all agree?
Should I be sterilized? Should MY children be taken from me? Do I need a spanking??
I only ask because;
When Ted was 3-4 yrs old, he would rise early in the AM, and eat raw meat, rifle through cupboards, roam the apartment building, knocking on doors, drawing on walls,I thought about locking his door, but fear of fire was greater than fear of mischief, and no matter how early I got up, he always managed to get up earlier. He also stuck a pencil in my big TV, rendering it un-useable…he has done more than that, but those stand out.
When Frankie was almost two, he spilled a boiling cup of water on himself, he was in the burn unit for 11 days, with 2nd &3rd degree burns to 20% of his body. I was only a couple of feet away when it happened, but it only takes a second. The trauma left him at a developemental level below his years (not unlike the learning disability of those 2 demons you revile) He was almost 4 before he could talk much, and has he done stuff…he put the car into gear when my dad was under it, coulda killed Dad, I was right next to him that time too, I looked away for an instant. After I got the tv fixed, he filled the hole left by the pencil with water from a squirt gun, the tv later recovered, I was in the kitchen, preparing supper when that happened. I couldnt have knick-knacks or anything on tables, no plants, nothing.
Now, Ted helps with the housework, he is sensitive towards animals and old people, he tries hard to please his teacher, I couldnt ask for a better kid.
And Frankie, well, I have lots of plants and clutter now, he never touches it. If he gets a time-out in the morning, the last thing he does before he goes to sleep is to come and apologise for his crime. A more loving precious child there has never been.
But according to the standards you have all set, they are future criminals, not fit to live with decent folk like all of you. I am a terrible mother, and should be punished.
Go fuck yourselves.
Kids do stuff, it isnt always fun, it sure as hell isnt always pretty, but they do it, and they grow out of it.
Maybe all you judgemental self righteous folks should call your moms and ask what YOU did when you were 2,3,4 yrs old.
If you had bothered to read any of his stuff, you would come to the same conclusion I did: Those twins were probably premature, and are not at the normal developmental level of four yr olds, they are learning disabled, and most likely hyperactive. This man is not always happy with his wife, or his parents, or his life for that matter, but he loves those kids! I am glad to see he can take their behavior and NOT beat them! Maybe he could supervise them better than he does, but who here has their children under CONSTANT supervision? He copes as best he can, by writing a journal about his life…which brings me to my next point…Why the hell are you all tearing into him? He didnt come here and make an ass of himself, flame people, etc. He was just minging his own business, doing his journal, and all of a sudden, his life is on trial by people he has never had any contact with?
Who the hell do you people think you are? This isnt a ‘public figure’ ready to be analysed and debated (M.Lewinsky for example expects people to talk) this is just a guy, and his journal.
And Coldfire, you post a link to his pic to make fun of it? How would you feel if he posted yours?
This kind of intolerance is expected on the LBMB, or that anti-kids website (which BTW is so full of hate, it makes our PIT look like Sunday School!) but when I see this kind of flaming directed at a man whose only crime is that he is too nice to his kids…
I dont know what else to say.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves, I know I am.
I ask you to renew my belief in the superiority of this board, and reconsider you earlier posts.
