How bout a morning dose of Unfunny?
Sorry all, I'm in a foul mood and I'm taking you all down with me.

In Parenting101 on LJ Digitalexx makes a post requesting help disciplining her 18 month old.
The 18 month old rips her older sibling's book and is told to apologize. She 'refused' so she was put in time out.
18 month old apologizes twice to sibling but not to parents.
The next day, she still isn't apologizing to her parents, so what does Digitalexx do?
Why, refuse to nurse her and leave her in the car all alone of course!
Parenting101:WTF is wrong with you?

EDIT: Deleted. But it's on Stupid_free and CPS has been called.

Warning: Real name is in comments in her journal entry about it (not the comm entry that I saw), so be careful linking to it. Not that this freak seems all that concerned about separating her name from her journal, which she might do now that CPS has been called and maybe even the cops under a charge of Impersonating Joan Crawford.

Not to defend this woman - AT ALL - but it's the four-year-old that peed her pants.

Poor kids.

Okay, CPS has been called because of the prior incidents of her locking her daughters alone in the car.

The woman was very nice, she's looking through the community right now to read this post and hopefully, if someone compiled a list of previous posts/incidents, she'll be able to find it.

She also said she has one other case in front of this one but she will be getting someone out today to make sure that the 18-month-old is no longer locked up out in the car.


Internet justice ftw, I guess. I hope CPS gets out there ASAP, before she decides that the response she got from LJ is the daughter's fault too.

Ugh. This reminds me of stories I've heard about a horrible ex-friend. She acquired a stepdaughter, who is now 18 months old, and apparently she gets mad at the kid for ripping books and not sitting quietly in front of the TV for hours. Oh, and she told her husband that his daughter must be "mentally retarded" because she isn't talking yet, and threw a jealous fit when he wanted to buy the baby a souvenir when they were on a trip because she wanted it instead. Some people really do not need to be in any sort of parenting position. Ever. D:

I honestly think that people that act like that towards children either hate themselves or have deep-seated issues with their parents. Their inevitably the kind of people I do not get along with. At. All.

The second someone is horrible to a child or an animal, I cool off. Arctic chill, man. I am cool with people saying, "I don't like kida enough to want them for myself" but being perfectly polite and nice to them, hell, my best friend is like that, but people that have that... that weird thing where they're perfectly happy to neglect a child or whatever, that shits me.

I wonder if the mother's a fan of the "Babywise" or "Train Up a Child" program, that advocates baby beating basically starting from birth.

Probably not, sadly.

Also, that link may be triggering.

... I... I... My eight year old son tells me "No" all the damned time when I ask him something. This is relevant, because my son's developmental level isn't much more than a two year old, on several levels*.

Eighteen month olds say no. You can ask them if they want to go on the sparkliest adventure with all the sugar they can eat and the shiny favourite cartoon characters, and they will still say 'no'. While clapping their hands and jumping up and down in delight.

*My son has Downs Syndrome. Whole boatload of issues, and vocalising/acquiring language/expressive language is just some of them.

I have a 21-month-old and therefore I have been having a hands-on course on how a toddler thinks.

She thinks "no" is a hilarious word.
She can't specifically remember what she did yesterday.
And she does not understand the concept of "sorry." She can barely understand "please" (beyond "saying this gets me that").


Ahem. Anyways. *madface* I'm gonna go back to reading this to cheer myself up.

I keep thinking of my youngest brother (24 months -- huge ass agegap. I was seventeen when he was born) and what he does/doesn't do. Granted Dalton has some speech delays, but 'no' is a big part of his vocabulary. He's a toddler. It's what they do. You don't cause them deliberate pain/hunger because they're acting developmentally appropriate.

Jesus.

So... when I started reading all of this, I was thinking maybe this woman was in her early twenties. Not that that excuses her behavior at all, but generally (key word there) very young parents are stupider than older parents. This whole attitude of hers about wanting to be a "cool parent" and getting pissed off when she finds out that "being a friend" != "being a parent", and still putting herself before her kids ("we're going to do what I want to do, so STFU and like it or I'm locking you in the car!") struck me as extremely juvenile.

...This woman is thirty-fucking-six years old.

She's pissed off that her children think the world revolves around them? They're her children. Her world should revolve around them. This twat needs a swift kick in the ass and a reminder that the moment she had a child, everything stopped being about her and started being about her daughter(s). Children are not accessories, but she seems to think they are.

*rage*

The misconceptions about CPS are particularly quaint, especially the people in the sf_drama thread who protest that calling CPS wouldn't do any good because it was "after business hours."

Yeah, don't call 911 and say there is a child in danger! there's no fast line to the CPS person oncall!

And for even more "fun," it seems that obliteration (the person who supposedly called CPS) may be a sockpuppet of a previous sf_drama troll:

My TA in History of five years (Hooray college course sequels) works in CPS, and has to deal with this sort of shit every day, so many stories.

On that (horrible note)
