This is the reason I think people should have to be tested or something before having kids... who punishes their child for not saying "hi"?

Apparently (I haven't read far enough) she doesn't even have birth certificates or Social Securtiy #s for the kids..
PS - It's on a lot of boards, but I stole from TIP
Re: Another read...
geez - narcissist much? He wouldn't say "hi mommy" ??? So she got UPSET? Whataloser.
"So I got my teeny, tiny baby spanker. It's a little back scratcher that barely stings, but it's great for babies."
"Swat. Cry. Swat. This went on for about 30 minutes. I'd cradle him and rock him and he would be soothed, then I'd tell him again, "Say 'Hi Mommy.' " over and over."
She's a fvcking LOON.
"Finally, when I was trying to decide if he would get dinner or not ...he is too young to go without a meal"
NO CHILD SHOULD GO WITHOUT A MEAL YOU B*TCH!
can you tell this angers me?
I only read the entry about her child not wanting to say "Hi Mommy" and the tactics she used to get him to say it. Denying your 2 year old child food, teasing him by giving the other children special treatment and my fave spanking him with a back scratcher. Wow! This woman claims to be so in touch with her children and to be such a kind and caring nurturer you would think she might understand that there may have been a reason her child did not want to speak.
The scary thing is she has 9 kids. I hope that these children grow into adults who understand the problems with how they were raised and don't go on to continue the cycle!
That word is simply not used enough. You brought it back - awesome!
I don't think so, (not that I found yet) but is sounds like enough Nesties went to the site with terrible comments about her that she felt the need to write that intro part.
I have mixed feelings. Let me explain.
The whole back scratcher thing I think is way out of line. But I also believe in spanking kids (flame away if you must).
As for the not saying hi. This is actually something that is very important in my family, especially to DH. He gets very offended if someone does not say hello when they walk in the room and that will be the first thing he teaches any child of ours.. and I'm guessing if the child doesn't say it back (yes even at 2) there will be consequences.
This mother though does seem to get pleasure out of tormenting her child and that's what I find disturbing about the situation.
Yeah, I was reading this over on 3rd Tri last night. I was horrified. I don't actually have a problem with spanking, but will reserve it as a last resort punishment for something drastic that needs to be corrected immediately. i.e. running out into traffic can't be corrected by a time-out when you get home. I don't think spanking should be used (in a 30 minute cycle!) on a 2 y/o for something so small as not saying hello.
This breaks my heart! That poor baby?
I agree that the baby spanking and soothing for 30 min is just crazy.
I was raised in a ?spanking? household and let me tell you, when you got spanked there was no soothing, no mixed signals, you knew what you did was bad.
I feel that soothing the child after each spank is confusing him + 30 min that?s not spanking, that?s abuse. IMO a spank happens in the moment, it?s not planned out.
There are so many things wrong with this woman, abuse, teaching jealously towards the other children and no food WTF? Plus whatever else we don?t know about [scary].
A teenager who gets brought home by the cops = no dinner, straight to bed!
A baby who doesn?t feel like ?talking? = Food always no matter what ? it?s a baby!!!
