i didn't say it's priviledged information jenny, but i was pointing out that they shouldn't act like a degree in ECD means shit. in my experience, the average parent (including my sister and my uncle who recently had his first child) don't have a fucking clue as to what they're doing with their kids. but i'm sure there are also plenty without the degrees and whatnot (and who occasionally spank their children) who are doing a terrific job. don't forget, earlier in this thread, i said that i was a little torn, but that i didn't think it was ridiculous to give a small child a smack on the hand or a light spanking...but i certainly wouldn't make a habit out of it with my own children. i've gotten impatient and annoyed with my nephew or children i was watching, but it just didn't occur to me to spank them. i know it's because they're not my own, but i dont think i would be that way with my own either.
my uncle's kid still hasn't slept ONE day (i swear to god i'm not exaggerating) in his own bed, even though they probably spent about 5k decorating it. he "still likes to sleep with mommy and daddy" and he's 3, going to be 4 in about 4 months. they pretty much let him run the household. when we were there for christmas, he kept changing the channel in the livingroom even though my mom and i (and a few other family members) were watching something on TV and my uncle's wife was just like, "oh, hahha he wants to watch Barnie".
i'm nervous about how he's going to turn out as an adult.
