    If it's true...then it's either a sad state of affairs or he is just an ass.

    Seriously, I have a workmate who has 3 teenage girls and a husband who doesn't make them do anything or be responsible for themselves.

    One of the girls has to go to a special program as she has been expelled from so many schools no-one will accept her. The second one has been expelled from 2 schools and is constantly getting in fights. We have lost count the number of times the cops have shown up at work at 2am etc with one of her girls because they have been playing up. ANd the youngest who was always the better behaved one has just started going wild following the lead of the others and had a pregnancy scare @14yo!!

    This woman is seriously depressed and constantly wishes she didn't have kids. A think the difference in parenting and expectations between her and her husband has been what has caused it all, but she can't seem to get him to understand this.

    Some people think raising kids is easy.....it's not. Especially if the parents can't agree on boundaries and rules.

    Maybe not the kids but the parents (or lack thereof)? Kids (or anyone) aren't going to be nice with Dad if he projects that kind of loathing towards his kids. You reap what you sow....

    Kids are great and they suck all at the same time. It's hard to explain. If this is real it sounds like the guy just took his anger for his wife out on his kids. He is also no taking into consideration how they feel about their mom being a junkie.

    This is example #1 of a good case for the sterilization of morons. :lol::lol::lol:

    I didn't read that, don't ask me why, fragile as of late I guess. Sorry, this is my addition on the subject
    All I know is when kids are teens you truly wonder "where is my child what have you done with them" when you interact with your once loving child. I always thought, oh no not us, we have a great bond, they are great kids.We will sail through the teen years unscathed, somebody else's problem for sure.
    Nope they were gone. They hated us. Thought we were the dumbest people alive who could never understand anything or do or say anything right. They lied, stole, and worst of all were unappreciative of our love and concern. They hurt our hearts.
    Good news is they come back as loving adults to be proud of.
    The sacrifice and hard work parents put in is worth every second.
    So if anyone is out there wondering WTF is going on, will things ever be right again?
    If you have lost hope and are afraid, know that, if the foundation you laid is strong and you taught them good morals, everything is going to be ok.

    I used to work for a domestic violence agency and a woman would call the hotline ALL THE TIME asking how she could give up her kids. I think they were 5 & 7. She would call us because apparently they were beating her up and had locked her in the closet and she needed protection. :roll:

    Well they grow up to be people so I can't see how they could be anything other than terrible.

    Surely, that must have been a joke? I can't believe someone would really post that.

    Some people just really shouldn't have children! Think before you roll in the hay, accidents happen and people need to think whether parenthood is something they want for the rest of their lives.

    Love, love, love my kiddies, they can be angels :angel: one moment and devils :twisted: the next, but my love will never wane.

    Sometimes kids are terrible...don't you remember being a kid?

    I vividly recall spray painting the side of my house...I was 8! Kids have terrible judgment.

    That said, this MUST be fake.

    Yeah, that BETTER be a joke. At the ages the guy said his kids are, the school or any adult who comes in contact with them aren't doing their job if this is a true story!
    I've recently been watching court TV about a 16 year old girl who died 'cuz the house caught on fire and the girl was chained to her bed and couldn't get out, but everyone else got out, even the dog! Her name is Calista, if anyone has been watching. The parents had other kids who the teachers and neighbors said they treated good, but this one they wouldn't feed properly, cloth properly and chained her up. The parents said it was because she would get sharp objects and eat them and stuff, but the school said they never saw her behave like that.
    She was in special ed., but not for bad behavior. She had chain marks around her waist when they found her.

    I think because she was a special ed. student and needed a little special attention at home, the parents just didn't want to deal with it. The school said she was very shy and well-behaved!!
    Its a horrible story.
    I know that if any teachers know of this guy's story and are ignoring it, they are eqaully culpable.

    Its horrific!!
    I worked with neglected, abused, and throw-away kids for a living, until I became diabled. Some people really do hate their kids!! I don't know why they don't turn them over to the state? They can. This guy says its because he's afraid of going to jail. That's BS, he can turn them over without facing jail.
    When I worked in the field, I never once saw a parent go to jail. What usually happens is that they just lose the kids, even for some very bad abuse.
    The only time I have even heard of parents going to jail was if a kid died or was permanently harmed and I have only HEARD of that, but never witnessed it
    I have always felt that if they were facing jail, we'd see less abuse! They don't want the kids anyway, so they get what the want and the kids are the only ones who suffer. Laws need to be changed.
    Even when its found out that the kids are being abused, the kids are the ones who end up in a youth facility, which suits the parents just fine, 'cuz they didn't want them to begin with, unless the kids are the way the parents get a paycheck!
    The kids end up being uprooted and by being in a youth facility its like they are the ones going to jail!! Not only were the kids abused by their parents, but then they are also abused by the system, who I guess have no other choice, but I wish the parents suffered some consequences also.
    I have heard lots of parents complain about losing their income when they lose the kids. Sickos!!
