Why do some parents say mean things about their children in front of other people?
I am also very surprised with that attitude of parents. Probably they think it is to discipline them more and extract more virtues from the children. They might be thinking that insulting or chiding at the children would make them reach higher standards. Or the parents may not know that it is insulting. But someone looking from outside will feel terrible. Yes I agree we do not know well enough about that family and how they handle criticisms between them.However, in terms of general parenting, for the extent I know, it will only demoralize the children. For example I know a loving family with awesome kids. I noticed the parents often call their children “Idiot” for even small mischief. In our family that is a big word. We will elaborate little bit more and pick softer words or use less cursory words, and will explain why such mischief is not appropriate. But then children are children, they have to misbehave. We did not bring toys into this world.When parents are impatient they find it easier to use a straight one word to get the anger out of their chest. It is also instant gratification. Some obsessive parents like to call using such words in a rush to discipline them. But cursing them before the strangers would not be appropriate as in a way parental education and advice is common as the children are seen the future pillars of the society where we all play a part.
What is the most insulting thing you can say to your parents?
Most insulting, is “I wish you weren’t my mother/father!” That’ll hurt lots as a parent.But in the end I suppose it depends on the relationship dynamics between the child and parent(s). If a normally loving child blurted it out of emotion, that’ll hurt far more than say a child who regularly screams insults at his/her parent(s).The most insulting thing I’ve ever said was when my dad was teaching me how to drive. He’s a strict teacher and I was frustrated. When he said, “This is going to be important, you need to practice more before you’re ready to drive regularly,” I replied, “But it’s not like I want to be a driver or anything ridiculous like that!” My dad got quiet and said nothing. I instantly remember how he unfailingly drives me to school, music lessons, anywhere without complaining, and felt SO guilty.. but I was in the middle of my teen rebellion so instead of apologising I stormed out of the car and slammed the door (regretting each action as I did). Later that night I found my dad had fell asleep in the living room with my baby album beside him, and my rebellious phase came to an end, then and there. I hugged my dad and apologised (to which he replied, “what could you be sorry for, you’re my angel”). No, dad, YOU’RE my angel (mum too, of course).
How to tell your parents that you wanna be a guy?
Ignore those pricks sweetie they are just being bastatds probably attention seeking. First before you tell your parents make sure you have a support system in place in case they take it badly, you know somewhere to stay or someone you can rely on. Then you should sit your parents down for a talk, putting things off can only make then worse in the long run. You have to then explain to then how you feel wrong in your own skin which is how most people describe your feeling. Explain to them when you began to feel this way and how it makes you truly feel to live as a girl. (Having a trusted friend or advisor there can make these things much easier to say like maybe a school councilor or a best friend who supports you) If they take it well you can begin to discuss ways to further develop your feelings. If it goes wrong remember to use your support system... and remember that you are worth it. Hope this helps.
Why is the shirt " adoption is the new pregnant" so offensive?
Im an addoptive mother of two, not because im infertile but because i decided not to have my own kids because there are a lot of kids in need..... Any way i was reading some comments about this shirt some saying its offensive because adopting is not the same as giving birth, some others that the birthmom suffered when the baby was removed from her but if she was a good mom no one has the right to take your babys away do they? I just want to say that im an adoptive mom and im proud of my kids and if i have to give my life for them i totally would in a heart beat! And i would love to weAr this shirt, why a pregnant woman can wear her maternity clothes, some of them saying "expecting" and us not wear this great shirt i aprecciate your time
