[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No, I don't think it's me. I hired you to do a specific job; I wasn't coy about what the daily tasks were. When you drag your feet, when I overhear you complaining about them, when the tasks are carelessly done, that's on you, not me. Now, if you come to me with an idea about how to improve a task or whatever, I applaud that. But your bitching and carelessness? No. And I am more than happy to work with my team to bring out their unique skills and strengths - ONLY AFTER they have proven to me that they have a good attitude, are a team player, etc. If you come in with a chip on your shoulder? Good luck. You better figure it out quick or you'll be in my office for a very uncomfortable discussion (for you anyway).

And YOU are kidding yourself if you think that parents who take this attitude with their small children miraculously change their tune as their kids get older. It's pretty much their mindset/attitude from the get-go, and it just manifests itself in different ways as the kids get older. [/quote]

And you attribute ALL of this to a kid's parent not making them do homework.  I don't find anything in your scenario that leads me to believe that homework has anything to with the problems you seem to have.  If you still insist that what you say is true and not your perception, then please provide peer reviewed research to back up your claims.  (I won't hold my breath).[/quote]

Yeah, PP, just pop on over to PubMed to get all the "peer-reviewed research" that's required for this person to accept reality. I think I saw a piece about this last month in Entitled Snowflake Quarterly.[/quote]
