I agree, she is aiming for a lonely, bitter old ladyhood like your mom. And oof, and hugs to you – what a lot of crappola you had to grow up in.

She is a freak! I knew about the hot sauce on the tongue but I’m sorry-crazy commands and denying normal requests are going to give her kids such a sense of helplessness and doormat syndrome. It’ll be interesting and perhaps sad to see how her kids turn out.

Seriously disturbing.

“I ain’t never getting those 2 minutes back” – That? Was funny.

Geez…looking at Curtis Higgs writings, there were no good women in the Bible. Vastly different from my feminist teachings of women of the Bible, Torah and Qur’an at the mosque. Gosh, at the mosque I was taught about all these strong and marvelous women who used their heads and aided these prophets and men of God.

You are a great Mom. And I say that as an actual observer of your parenting.

Ah…a book club. That means 3 books. Kelli, my thinking is if the conservatives have their way with the library rentals then we could be put on a Good People list by checking this crap out. Our only other way to obtain the book (besides buying it) is finding some freebies. You know how the GOP authors and FoF people pump up their book sales by printing up a bunch and then giving them away? We just need to find one of those things.

I like Kelli’s idea – host a book club discussion of it!! After our heads stop spinning and we are back to being able to hold down solid foods, that might make for some hilarious entertainment!

Hey Shayera, you must have a good library then. Since my library only has about 200 English language books, it should be easy to run down if this book exist there. Oooh, maybe I’ll go to Central and see if they have it. I have to read it for myself.

On an “Ain’t I a Great Mom” front, my daughter was acting a fool and I managed not put clothespins or hot sauce on her tongue. Score 1 for me!

Seriously.

BG: You’re scaring me. I didn’t even think of the sadism in that. That’s just downright crazy. Hey, if Whelchel’s man gets off on getting his tongue spanked or being forced to close a door 100 times then fine, but don’t make the kids do that and pretend it’s parenting.

In the early years of that birth list group, there was a participant who was a Dobson follower. This we did not sniff out until the kids were a little over a year old. Naturally since this list was created with simply a birth month in common, there are varying religions, non-religions child rearing and political views blended in. However, she stuck out like a sore thumb due to her extremist child-rearing views and eventually she left the group (thank gawd!)

But Lisa Whelchel? Who I used to LOVE? Oh hells bells. Woman is totally a CWB.

=====================

One thing I left out of there is the fact that one of her kids is ADHD, so that just kinda makes it all the more even screwed up. Then to add insult to injury she quotes Scriptures at them as to why she’s being a CWB. Gah…that’s one thing I left out that my mother used to do. She’s the Queen CBB.

That mom is on another April board. I have to hand it to the other moms, they were very diplomatic when she’d start in how she “disciplines” her kids. One time, she was talking about how she had to punish little Brian because when he was eating he one of his toes when off his square (the kids have to stand on a plastic square when eating snacks). The punishment? He had to stand on the square for 30 minutes, then she spanked him, quoted some Scripture at him, them put in his room with the lights out for another 30 minutes. I’m sorry, but that’s overkill. The rest of were saying, “Gosh, I’m happy when they only spill half a cup of apple juice.” Now, can you imagine Carter standing still for 30 minutes anywhere? I know Ilia would die after 3 minutes. 30 minutes is completely unreasonable, but to add 2 more punishements because a toe when over the line? Damn.
