Kid slaps mom

[starmom]

I would just like to say that anyone posting in this thread that has not lived with a very troubled child under their roof has NO IDEA what they are talking about.

I raised 2 bi-polar kids. One is bipolar I and the other bi-polar II. I am raising a kid who had all of his episodic memories erased after 2 open heart surgeries, the second one performed because the first one was botched and created an aortic aneurysm. My brother committed suicide. So yeah, I've been there.... it's hard.

I try hard in these types of posts to create an intellectual discussions- can't be done I think.

Sound byte = knee jerk; Opinions based on NO experience; very little compassion overall..... crazazy and sad world.................

AMEN! I went to jail for correcting one of my kids in front of a police mang.. Verbally not physicully (sp??).. Sucked!

My oldest told me "go ahead, slap me and I'll have you arrested...that'll teach me"

She told a friend, whose mom worked for social services that a scar on her ribs, from falling on the stairs was a stab wound...

*blink blink*

She said she was mad because I would not let her sleep over a friends house and thats why she said those things


My dad would have whipped me up by my arm, beat my butt and "give me a reason to be stabbed" LOL

i never "got that" till I had kids...."I'll give you a reason to cry"....ok, lemme think on that...LOL

If my kid slapped me, i really don't think I would have the composure that woman held......unreal

Ya know I try to have understanding for people and their problems, I really do, but I honestly can't say how I would respond if I ever saw a kid do that to his mom.

Ummm, do you mean my 2 with BP I & II and the one with no memories? Yep they are. And, I might add, all are doing quite well- even my daughter who is dying. Talk about grace...
I also have a 'normal' son; not het for anything!

my parents never hit me lol my uncle has a construction company they would just make me do hard labor. lol

That actually works really well. It has been a huge focus for my family. We have always lived on land that came with a million chores and we also lived on a sailboat on the hook in the Puget Sound. Lots of chores, lots of things to do, not a lot of time for 'hanging'.....
We also didn't have tv or telephone. Played a lot of board games and stuff. It helped.

I didn't read all of the replies, but I saw this clip at another site as well. Honestly, I blame the mother more than the child. The kid's a kid, he learned that behavior, point blank period. That's what parents get when they try to treat their kids like adults and "talk out" their issues. That kid is NOT an adult, and can not ration with the mother as an adult. If she felt the need to nudge him the stomach or side with her elbow, so be it. She does not need to explain herself to him or try to figure out how it made him "feel". I think parents trying to do that crap and feed their kids prosac is the most ridiculous form of parenting ever.

My mother is a 4'10 maybe 100-110 lb korean woman, but if I ever tried to intimidate her physically I guarantee you she would tear me apart. And I'm 5'8 170 lbs and a grown man. Granted, I would never in a million years do that, but I know she would. Korean mothers are fast with the corporal punishment.

as for the kids that threaten to have their parents arrested... if my kids ever did that to me, I'd pop em a good one and hand them the phone. I'd also let them know that I am their provider and if they really want to go that route go ahead. But when I'm done with the bs investigations and so on and so forth they can go ahead and see if they want to go out in the world without my help. If not, they better follow my rules in my home.

I can't even imagine ever speaking to my mother like that..

But I do think that the behaviour has to be learned from somewhere. Kids just don't grow up and one day hit their mothers.
