delicate features can look amazing with short hair. Just personal preference innit. I thought I looked pretty good with my pixie cut. Couldnt be arsed to keep up with the maintenance of it though
Truth. My hair grows so fast that I was having to get a cut every 4 weeks to keep it neat. But unless I have a fringe, I can just let my hair grow when it's longer. Before my fringe was cut in this time I went a year without a proper cut (had a trim to fix mismatched length but otherwise nada).
Problem with me with long hair though is when my hair gets to a certain length, it starts looking lank and a bit crap.
Long thick luxurious hair looks wonderful, but mine just looks a bit ratty. Shorter hair gives it body.
I may just take up wearing hats
i really like anne with short hair. her long hair was lovely too though. but the short is a lot more striking.
You can have some of my hair. It's like a mane if I don't get it thinned out.
I think capital punishment should be brought back.
the argument 'it never did me any harm' which i can see you're leaning towards holds no gravitas because i could equally say the same thing. not being smacked never did me any harm because i was made aware of boundaries in other ways.
Sort of, I don't stand completely in the "I did me no harm", but it works for some and doesn't work for others. Some kids are well behaved some are not. Some listen when you say no, some need a much more firmer approach. As long as it isn't over abused, or too firm. Then i think it's fine. I think that's what wrong with my generation, no firm discepline.
I thought about this the other day, when i got arrested by the police, i was in the car going to the station thinking "Fuck it what's the worst that could happen, i'll get put in a warm cell, given a blanket, regular food. It's not like i'm going to be beaten or starved - easy life".
I think parents who have to resort to smacking kids have failed.
It seems to be more of a release for the parent than anything. And that isn't great.
I like it.
Another one:
Parenting should be touched apon in schools - chances are most of us will have kids.
What about 'as a father'?
The same but without the chuff element.
Those who disagree about smacking assume that anyone who thinks its bad is not a parent.
I have a three year old girl. She's naughty and cheeky and clever. Never once have I had to lay a finger on her, because I can set boundaries without the use of my hand.
Spanking is for those who want to be spanked.
Thing is though there are no qualifications to be a parent (which I agree is a shame for many) so we can best rely on experience however as a father I find it hard to accept the opinion of someone who has none especially when they try to tell me my ways of bringing up my child are 'wrong'.
Nothing like a good generalisation to back up your opinion eh?
I'm sorry you take offence to my opinion but it's just that- my opinion. I take offence to you insinuating I'm not allowed to have an opinion because I'm not a mother. (Yet. I am in fact due at the end of this month )
I'll assume you'll take AR's shared opinion into account because he's a dad?
a) - I've not said I take offence - and I don't
and
b) - I've not said (nor would I ever suggest) you do not have the right to an opinion on anything.
However putting words in someone's mouth can be just as fun as generalising
D'oh! More assuming
I accept anybody's opinion about anything. However I won't be told my way of doing things - which stems from experience - is 'wrong' by somebody who has no experience.
If there was some sort of widely-accepted form of qualification on parenting (I agree this is needed) and you had said qualification yet no children and then told me my way of doing things was wrong then I'd happily take it all on board.
Parenting is one of those things that you really cannot get right unless you've been there yourself. No I am NOT saying just because somebody has kids they are always right. Far from it.
Really interested as to why you are still ignoring that Arctic Roll shares the same stance that I do, despite having a child. But I guess it's just heavily pregnant women (yet without child) forming strong opinions on parental discipline that really get your goat.
