No, the key word was "the". Please try to keep up.
That's a lot of information. I would be careful about posting that much personal detail about anyone.
No doubt the institutionalization of poverty and assistance is huge problem. I see it everyday. Sadly, it's far too complex and deep to fix by anything other than significant changes in educational policy and priority, among many other things. Far too big of a topic to delve into here. And another poster was right in that it really didn't have much to do with the initial OP.
You advocate children speaking in an adult realm to total strangers? That seems all good to you? Really???
There is nothing innocent about bragging...especially to adults...or do you have perfect pitch also, as was imparted to you by your father when you were young?
You never answered the question...would you be proud of your son to do that... Do you even have kids???
You're being a bit dramatic. While I don't encourage my children to speak to strangers,if it did happen it certainly wouldn't merit the vitriol and physical reaction both you and the OP seem to condone.
Putting myself in the OPs shoes, I'm certainly not going to try to take the low road and insult a 12 year old, or go at his father because his child dared to forget his position.
3....very well behaved at that. Although they do occasionally speak to adults.
To each their own but I'm not going to raise my kids to be afraid of strangers. That can lead to a lot of overbearing and vexatious behavior on website forums in the future.
And I assume they are well behaved because it is something you instilled in them. If the OPs thread is even half true, that child was ill mannered to say the least. I don't advocate violence, but I was a staunch disciplinarian regarding how to act around adult strangers... Something my wonderful parents taught me, as I taught my son and am teaching my grandson. The child was out of line to offer opinion or correction to an adult stranger....period. The OP had choices..sure...but that surely does not excuse some obviously bad behavior from the child.
It's a child, bragging on a talent. They do that sometime. No back handing required.
The child's behavior is excusable because he IS a child. The OPs? That's a different story.
Stupid kids. Telling us to be in tune. I hate that. I'll play out of tune whenever I want. You showed that little git, and then some! Now I would've hauled his butt outside, and me and him would've had a fist fight!
Of course. My daughter is sick today. I keep back handing her, but she's still not getting better?!?!?!
I don't understand why we had to go down the road of "obesity epidemic in America" and what causes it.
That's a complex issue and none of us here are going to be able to solve it.
However, we might be able to give the OP or anyone else here that might be insecure by the bragging of a 12 year old some tips on how to handle things more maturely.
