THE ART OF PARENTING
IN RESPECT TO RESPECT
I picked this place, I thought I should
go where our topic is... have a seat this could take a while,
but leave the lid up we may need to get in there.
question??
Why do people treat little people
differently? Like I spilled a pop and my dad got mad and took my glass
away, He called me a slob. He made me feel bad. When a friend of his
came over, and spilled his beer and my dad just got a rag and he
told me to get him another one. then when I told him he couldn't have another
one cause he was a slob, I got hit and sent to my room. This is stupid,
what is it about age that makes it okay to treat little people worse that
bigger people?
question??
why do people treat little people
differently? like my aunt was mad because my uncle hit her cause she they
got in a fight about the mess the house was in she called the police and
they took him, she said she wouldn't be hit anymore then she hit my cousin
and told her she couldn't go outside till her room was clean. How come
it 's okay for her to hit but not for my uncle??
why is it okay to treat little people worse
than big people???
we went to a place to get parts for our
car and my dad told me to wait in the car, but their was nothing to do
and he took a real long time so I got out and walked around and went and
played on a hill near by. when he got back was he ever mad he yelled I
told you to stay in the car!!!!!! but when we went to pick up mom
she wasn't ready yet and he got mad and left her cause he didn't want to
wait a few minutes and he left us their and when we got home he just was
standing around talking and drinking. he hadn't even got the part on yet.
he was so mad at me for being bored and yet he couldn't wait twenty minutes
himself!!!
Why is it okay to treat little kids differently??
Then we were at the doctors I had
a rash and we were waiting for the doctor. My mom grabbed a book and
was reading, I didn't know how to read so I got bored and decided to
walk a round and explore but my mom got mad and told me to sit down. I tried
to turn around to see what was behind me and she slapped my
bum and got more mad. Then when I tried to grab a magazine she slapped
my hands and told me not to play with things that weren't toys. Then she
took out some makeup and played with her face, got up and asked how long
the doctor would, be yelled at me to sit down, walked over to the window
and came back, picked up another book,played with the card in it
till it broke loose. Tucked it away and then walked around more. See,
she couldn't sit there and she could rip the book, yet she yelled at me
for the same things and all the other moms did just about
the same things.
Why is it okay to treat little people worse?
I think that I could list a million million
things here but I hope you get the idea it just seems like parents were
never kids, don't you remember being bored, or excited about
something, or curious about something new, don't you remember what it felt
like being little
I DON"T UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!! At what age do you become insane
cause I think I want to miss that age cause it doesn't make any sense.
You see all this stuff were doing is new
to me and I just want to learn and I don't know if I'm doing something
wrong you don't need to get mad at me you need to teach me the right way
You need to think I will not treat little
people differently than I would want to be treated myself. If you wouldn't
want your wife to hit you for forgetting to pay a bill, then don't hit me
for forgetting to take out the garbage If you get bored sitting doing
nothing, DON'T expect me to be able to do it, I have a hundred times
more energy and curiosity than you do. If you know that were going to
do boring things then bring something along to keep me from being bored
and ask me what I would like to have don't just assume you know what I
want.
Ya another one is when we were in the line
up at the money place and I was bored again just standing waiting and so
I pulled out a car from my pocket and started to drive it and the another
little boy saw me and I pushed the car to him but it turned and hit a post
(it was funny cause it rolled) and then my dad yelled at me to be quiet
and he pulled me into line and told me to stand their and behave and be
quiet and he was making way more noise that I was yelling and being mad,
my noise lasted a couple secs, his noise went on forever. Then there was
this girl at the grocery store and this girl wanted into the back of the
cart. She asked to get lifted up, the parents ignored her and so she tried
to crawl up herself. She got hit and then she started to cry and she got
yelled at. Then she started to get mad cause they weren't listening to
her. She started to yell and stamp her feet, then the dad picked her up and
went stomping into the corner and yelled at her.I was sad
cause the dad was mad at her and he was acting the same as her. If they
didn't ignore her and just asked her what she wanted and put her into the
back of the cart like she wanted none of that would have happened. When
this lady needed some help with a box he stopped doing what he was doing
and helped her right away. Why are other people more important than us
little people? I was in a hospital one time and their were two other
boys that were the same. They were driving in these cars and their mom
was talking and laughing and stuff, the boys bumped into each other,
they were playing and she came over and started yelling that they weren't
supposed to bang into each other. Then she said they were supposed to
be quiet. Then when they bumped into each other again she yelled again, one
of the boys was ignoring her. She was making way more noise
than they were. She grabbed him and held him down on her lap, so he couldn't
move and he banged his head against her, he didn't like being held
like that and she took her hand and covered his face so he couldn't move
and he started to scream. She got mad at him for getting angry and she
made him sit all alone on the bed with nothing to do and told him to sit
their till he wasn't mad any more. How stupid. If I would have been big I would have
got a stick and hit her. She caused all the problems and was noisier
than all of us together.
I'm kinda sure that she would be really
mad if my dad grabbed her and held her down with his hand on her face. No
matter what the reason.
How come it's okay to treat little kids bad?
I think the first thing that big people
need to think when looking after little people is;
You will never treat us like you wouldn't want to be treated yourself.
You will give the same respect to us as you would to a friend.
This shouldn't be special treatment, just respectful treatment. If you wouldn't
hit a Co-worker for making a mistake, don't hit me. If you will take the time to
teach a friend how to fix something. Then allow me the same courtesy, but
remember I am new at this living thing. I don't know anything.
You have to teach me everything. If you will treat me like you would
like to be treated, I will learn. Maybe not very fast, I'm small and
I am new at this. What I learn is directly dependent on how well you
teach me and that most of the time I'm standing around watching. If you
are doing one thing and saying another I will see that to, then how am
I suppose to know how to act.
