They shouldn't let the little fuckers run around biting random members of the public hard enough that they bleed, then, should they? It's fair turnabout. What if junior actually DID go and bite someone with HIV, hepatitis, etc? Or someone with violent psychopathic/schizophrenic tendancies that are barely controlled by their medication, which they sometimes skip? The situation shouldn't even get to this point. Sometimes people need a boot up the ass to readjust their outlook. Pulling this "prank" is the verbal equivalent of such, and hopefully gives them pause and a motivation to control their child (or, hell, leave them with an aunt/uncle for a couple hours whilst mama/papa go shopping?!) before the real deal has a chance to go down?sheah1 said:You realise this is the equivalent of telling someone that, no, not them, but the child who they more than likely live and breather for, has cancer right?
Hmm. That's a really creative way for a kid to get rid of a bad habit. I hope that I'll be able to figure out creative, yet harmless, solutions/punishments to make my kids behave.Viral_Lola said:Hmm... My daughter wasn't a biter or a hair puller but she liked to throw things. One day I was tired of her throwing things on the ground and at me, so I taped what she was tossing to her hand. (It was a set of keys.) Since then she has not thrown anything.
