Do you live too Far from your mom?
Well my biological mom has passed so in regards to her yes but my step mom who ive always seen as my mom lives about 300 miles away, well at least she did. Its hard being far away from a parent but its also a blessing at times. Visits seems to be more meaningful when u have to set aside time to plan them out. Sometimes its nice not to be caught up in the everyday crud that happens in a persons life so when u do ask for advice or need something then u know its something important are can be more open to it then u would be if u had to deal with it all the time. Its nice having peiple close by but its also nice having ur own space. Just try to appreciate what u have when u have it because ur lucky enough to have it there to have and ot everyone can say that. :)
How do I know if my father has gone too far with spanking?
Spanking should not leave any marks on the child. No bruises. Some redness is going to happen but it should disappear quickly.Having said that, it really isn’t necessary to spank a child to the point where someone is asking if it has gone too far. If you feel the need to ask, the answer is probably that he always goes too far. One or two swats with an open hand on a clothed bottom should be enough. Of course, most psychologist and doctors will say that spanking really isn’t acceptable at all. There should be other ways to discipline a child. A stern talking to and some age-appropriate timeout usually works just as well. Also, it can depend on how old the child is. Taking away a favorite toy or privilege (TV, computer game, etc.) works very well too and is better for the child.
My atheist sister has gone too far?
I really think she's damned to hell. My mother is heartbroken about it. Right now I'm discusted, all though I know I'll become sad. My sister, although she professes to be an atheist, has been interested in eastern religious things for a long time. Not actually following the "religion" or anything but like she has a lot of buddhist decorations in her house. But then last night we all met at golden corral for dinner and...she has a new tattoo. She has several and everyone in the family hates them but this is too much. On her forearm she has a buddhist "god"!!! It's an elephant with a bunch of arms. Right there where anyone can see it. I'm so discusted I want to vomit! I'm really feeling led to cut off all ties with her. She may be my sister and we are all sinners but she's happily breaking Commandments right and left. now she has put a graven image, an idol, on her arm. Please help me decide what to do. I'm beside myself.
Did my dad go too far with “The Talk?”?
Hell everyone. I am 14 years old guy and recently my dad decided to have “the talk” with me. Although, thanks to the internet, I could probably teach him a few things. I guess he felt it was his duty. The talk seemed pretty normal with one exception, he demonstrated how to put on a condom on himself. He pulled out his penis, got it hard, and put on a condom and gave explanations. No he has never touched me inappropriately nor did he want me to touch him. He put it on, asked if I had questions, then left. Is this too far? I was kind of wielded out, but I have seen him before, just not erect. Anyone think this was too much or weird? Did anyone else get this version of the “talk?”
When did a teacher push you too far?
As a parent, did you ever push your child in ways you now regret – or not push enough? Or when you were a child, did you ever feel pushed too hard or not enough?These were the questions we posed to you, our audience, at the conclusion of our story highlighting a troubling situation in Ghana: Parents in the capital city of Accra are putting their kids in strict, academically focused preschools at ever younger ages – but tests suggest most kids aren't actually learning much. And when the government tried an experimental training program to get teachers to shift from call-and-response drills to a play-based approach, the results were hugely promising — until the moms and dads started getting involved. The researchers say the parents' anxious inquiries about their children's progress may have caused teachers to revert to the stricter, but less effective style.All of which points to a dilemma of parenting: Sometimes a parent's determination to give a child the best possible start becomes the very thing that gets in the way.How has this challenge played out in the lives of NPR's audience? Your answers ran the gamut. A mother of four regrets pushing her older two children — but found her footing with the youngest two. A former foster child explains why his grandparents' no-excuses attitude proved his salvation. An Indian immigrant mother recounts that in her family each successive generation of parents has reversed the approach of the one before – swinging like a pendulum between pushy and relaxed.
Do you think this LGBT hate has gone too far?
Yes. Hate has gone way too far.Hate is never a good thing.Even worse, hate against people that can’t change who they are is a dreadful thing.Hate agains LGBT people is just like hating white people. I was born white. There is nothing I can do about it.I know that people often hate LGBT people because they actually don’t know LGBT people. It’s actually quite hard to hate people when you know them, even if you think they are wrong.When I was young, I was a bigot. I won’t lie. I was! I thought gay people were sub-par. I did. I was so, so very wrong.I don’t know if I hated gay people. I think I might have hated. But the thing is, I just didn’t know any gay people! For me, they were a mass of faceless people that were just revolting.Then I met a gay guy. He was a super nice and decent human being. Not a whif revolting. Then I met a gay woman. And at Quora I’ve met dozens of gay people.I wasn’t a bigot when I joined Quora, but I got a lot better at actually understanding and caring about gay people once I’ve made friends with people like James Finn, Fred Shirley, Jennifer Louise Porter, Dan Holliday and so many others.I really care and love my friends.We often spew what our parents and relatives taught us, and coming from a 1980’s stock, I was quite prone to homophobia.Nowadays, I fight for LBGT rights and I try to educate people to realize that LGBT people are just that — people! They are just as nice, decent and flawed as any other person. Most are lovely people!All they want is to have a good life, a family, to love and live just as everyone else does. There’s nothing wrong or sub-par with them.Hate is something bad, but we can end hate when we educate people. Or at least that’s what I believe in.
Can a spanking go too far?
I ve been seeing a lot of videos online lately where parents are excessively beating their children all over their bodies leaving welts and scars all over their faces, backs and other places. The girls getting beaten are screaming loudly and writhing in pain. It s kind of disturbing to watch. What s even more disturbing is the comments below each video praising the parents and saying that putting fear into their children s hearts will make them better people. Is there a such thing as going too far with discipline?
What are some of your "I went way too far" moments?
I started smoking pot around 12–13 years old. Then I moved back to Ohio and in with my dad. My dad was disabled so he felt that since he couldn't bond with me the “normal” way that he would just let me do what I wanted. I broke my ankle in a homecoming football game and got taken to the hospital by ambulance. I got home before my dad. When he finally came home the first thing he asked me was “what did they give you for pain”? They gave me Darvocet (for all you who know what they are) at the time I had no idea what pain pills really were. Anyway, he said “those are garbage” and threw them out. Then he said “take these” and threw me a bottle of coffin cut vicodin e.s….again (for those of you who know). Well I found out real quick that I liked those…. Too much. One thing turned to another and 29–30 years later I hit rock bottom and got clean. Almost 9 years clean now. At my worst I would crush up 5 Roxy 30s and a few oxy 80s before I went to sleep so I had them as soon as I opened my eyes. Then I would eat fentynal patches…Yes EAT. My tolerance was through the roof at this point. I know people won't believe me if I were to say what all I ate or snorted throughout the day but let's just say it was alot and by all rites I shouldn't be here. Anyway I could go on for days about this. I stole, lied, cheated, doctor hopped etc, all just to get high. I spent 11,000$ in 9 days behind my wife's back and that was my bottom, when I seen the look of disgust on her face.To answer the question before I forget and ramble…. I took, using pain medication for medicinal use too far…. WAY TOO FAR. I almost lost everything…I did lose my dad.I am an open book to anyone who would like to know more, just ask. Nothing is off the table, don't be afraid. I think I was supposed to endure that so that I can help other people in similar situations today. I've walked a mile or 2 in those shoes so if you need to talk or just to vent, I'm your guy.I'm in the process of getting my shit together to become a drug and alcohol counselor. Just have another hurdle to get past first in my lovely state of Ohio.I'm sorry for rambling, thank you for reading, if you made it this far.
What does "don't go too far" mean?
It means that the hearer should not go beyond a certain point, a point which the speaker assumes the hearer knows. For instance, a mother might have established the end of the block as the farthest from their house that her child can go. When the mother says, “Don't go too far!” she is telling her child not to go beyond the end of the block.
