[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, you should never say STFU to a child.  I cannot believe that would be in dispute.  You say, "Sweetie, we don't talk like that."  Or "Jimmy, you know better than interrupting mommy."  Who cusses at a child?  That's only going to teach them to misbehave.[/quote]

You all are very literal.[/quote]

It's a message board on the internet.  How much interpretation of your tone of voice do you expect?   :roll: [/quote]

this was actually said to the child at a playground. nothing surprises me in DC.  this kid really doesn't have a chance.[/quote]

Because he heard a curse word? Hah. You know who doesn't have a chance to see other children as children? Your dear Karla, whose mother sighs in front of her and shakes her head and says, "those poor children don't have a chance. It's a damn shame."[/quote]

If what the PP overheard was an adult telling her child to STFU on the playground, then yeah, I do think that child's got a tougher road than most of us.  [/quote]

A-F'ING-MEN.  That is not okay.  How can anyone think that is okay?  Do you think Barack has ever ONCE said STFU to his daughters?  No.  He's not raising gang-bangers.  He says, "Darling, I adore you, but Daddy is talking to Putin on the phone right now and trying to make sure he doesn't hack into our government official emails anymore.  I'm sorry, baby, but I'll make time to talk as soon as I'm done dealing with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea."  When Michelle is interrupted, she says, "Is that the way you are going to act when we have dinner with Queen Elizabeth next month?  I'll be embarrassed that I did not raise you better.  Please remember that we always wait for an adult to finish talking, listen to them, and then we can talk.  This is how civilized humans communicate."

My child definitely knows to respect me -- I'm not his friend, I'm his parent.  But I don't cuss at him, because I sure as heck don't want him cussing at my grandchildren one day.  Saying "don't interrupt me" or "I need some peace and quiet right now" is not the same as STFU. You end up with better behaved children, mutual respect, and children who are not afraid to talk with their parents about important issues.  If there are seriously parents on DCUM (who care enough about their kids, our schools, and DCPS' future to be here) who believe saying STFU to a young child on a playground in front of other kids is EVER acceptable, we don't need to call CPS, we need to arrange required parent training at all the DCPS schools for our future generation.  There can be multiple dates for 1-hour -- you only need to show up once, but ever parent needs some basic -- civilized human training 101.  Lesson one of CHT 101: don't cuss at children.[/quote]
