Okay, here is the thing: my friend Laura, an ex-Marine, has the best solution I've ever heard for "how to keep it real without spanking your kids" and that is: PT.
Seriously: you can have a kid doing squat-thrusts until they cry without ever laying a finger on them, and the best part is, you can do it anywhere - home, mall, grocery store, you name it; little buddy can drop on the spot and start cranking out the push-ups until he has burnt the mischief right out of his little body. (And then he's done? you ask. No, and then he's dismissed to go start cleaning the bathroom. Repaying one's debt to society also figured big in the discipline at her house. I am in awe.)
Also: welcome back, sunshine! We missed your sparkling rays!
dont worry, someone for real will decide that that is child abuse too... ive heard it many times before, im an abusive parent because my kids have chores to do. Yeah.
OMG YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED? *flings liek PINK EXPLODING CONFETTI*
I am good, but what are you talking about? There is no Outside. The voices told me so. really I am sick this week but alright in general - ticking along, have been writing fairly steadily for the last couple of years. I hate GA and it may hate me but I'm alive.
Yep. After seven years, I'm gonna make an honest woman of street_howitzer. As my current journal says, I'm already in Houston, setting up the paperwork. Damn bureaucracies!
I think it's the urban sprawl that's at the root of it. Grrr I miss living in West London and walking everywhere. Honestly, we're existentially bored at this point and just waiting for a chance to move someplace else.
And fff yes bureaucracies :/ *is a US permanent resident now, at least*
