Mom Booted From Plane Goes National; Toddler Bucks, Whines During Interview

[Logic n' Reason]

Regardless of the kid’s behavior on the flight, bringing him on the air during a live interview was pretty frickin stupid. There’s no predicting how a kid that age is going to act.

"If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!"

Hell, we Americans are known far and wide for our stupidity! Why should this gal be any different?

Speaking of church — one of our biggest disruptions was my own fault. I had three children at the time. My oldest had to go to the bathroom or the baby was getting fussy. I can’t remember which. But we were going to leave. My daughter had fallen asleep, so I whispered to my 5 year old to wake up his sister and we would go. I put the baby in the stroller, but accidentally smacked his head. His mouth opened wide and I knew I had two seconds to get out of there before the scream started. I grabbed all I could and was about to leave when my other son says, “What about her?” My daughter is still asleep. The baby starts screaming. I am red faced as I realize the talk has suddenly stopped and everyone in the congregation is staring at me. As a sister helped me I heard the talk resume, “In the church I used to attend children were not seen in the congregation, so it was strange to me at first. But, now I love it.”

Spanking works if done correctly. 1st of all, it SHOULD hurt; theres no other way around it. That means no thick jeans, red butts and maybe a crying child by the end of it. You do it right so hopefully you don’t have to do it again, and you always remind them that you love them. Thats what my dad did, I respect him so much for doing so. You can go on yelling and threatening until your face goes red, and it may work for some kids (if your lucky), but kids know if your serious about it. The best parents aren’t the ones that give in to their kid’s every whims. All you will get is a spoiled child who knows that their parents will take care of them no matter what they do. There are countless examples out there. Once in a while though, you see disciplined, well mannered, incredibly mature children and you just know that they came from a good family.

Think about it
