We older mature folks know that swats never hurt our little egos and swats showed what our boundaries were...certain behaviors would not be tolerated and we were "afraid" to try that again...

I got threatened with swats for chewing gum in class and needless to say...no more gum...

Parents aren't allowed to parent anymore...our Government in all its wisdom has forbid corporal punishment ....and kids know it... A neighbor of mine....spanked her 11 year old and the kid called 911.... an officer had to come spend an hour to calm the kid down...The mother tucked her tail between her legs and just cried....

My grandaughter has a one year old....and let me tell you.... this one year old is going on 13.....hard headedist baby Ive ever seen.... she will keep on and keep on doing what ever you have told her not to do... for instance....get into the trash , she will look at you as her sweet little hand is going into it and see if you notice... .... I know ...you say....move the trash where she can't get to it...... with this child you need to empty your house ..her mother has no control ... I say ....pull her little diaper down and set her ass on fire.....you only have to do that a couple of times and they get the Idea...Too young to spank...???? This one knows exactly what she is doing... and does it.....by the way.....she is a redhead...... oops am I profiling redheads....
Funny tho.... when mom is not around and I have the baby... I dont have a problem at all ....all I have to do is say NO...


Long story short Parents have lost control ....fear of social services ....

At that point, I get pissed and defiant and go ahead and wait the full 10 days before mowing. If the person that turned me in wouldn't have, my yard would have been mowed much sooner.

Just so you know.

Done told you before Bubba----Get a sheep!!

I used to travel a bit before I left Dodge and got "reported" too - LOL really ticked me off at the time especially since they also told me I couldn't park an extra car on my grass next to my driveway. When I could go 2 block and show them cars jacked up in folks' front yard........... when they had a driveway....... geesh - I feel the pain there!!! LOL

Nothings changed Texie!! They still have MULTIPLE FAMILIES living in SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS, all over town, and parking vehicles all over the place!! When you complain, you just get the run-around!!
