My "punishment" is ignoring you. Bitch, please. You wanna scream and cry and throw yourself on the floor because I won't give you a cookie? Go nuts. I'll be over here ignoring you. We can interact again when you act like a human.
Unfortunately, my parents did not provide swift punishment when I had tantrums as a child, so I still react this way when I don't get cookies. Are you saying that's not an appropriate reaction?
Ask @rutherily, apparently she's the new Dr. Spock of our generation in regards to child rearing.
Well when I was referring to children of an age who know better, like how the woman's story was about her 5 year old, I guess that's the same thing as making me feel like an ass with stories about toddlers right? Even though initially that was not the point of my story and why I didn't feel I had to go into a detailed explanation of punishment for each stage of my child's life. But by all means continue tagging me and making the coworkers comment even more difficult to deal with since I couldn't talk to anyone else about it.
Oh honey. You really just need to find a sense of humor. Anyone would find it ridiculous that you can just tell your kid to act right and they will. Your co worker is an ass for saying you shouldn't have kids, but you also need to see the bigger picture with your comment.

C'mon Ruth. This isn't your first FFFC rodeo.
You (general you, not you specifically) post something stupid, it's going to get flamed.
And I can defend myself against the flames. I'm just saying my point was not my misconceptions about motherhood but the stupid statement the coworker made.

It does not matter what your point was. We know what your point was. Good GOD, we get it. Yes, your coworker is an asshole for saying that. But your confession (which really isn't a confession) just had to include more than "your point."
You just can't accept criticism, and it is getting really fucking old. Get the stick out of your ass!

So we're all just supposed to ignore half of your statement because it wasn't meant to be the focus? Come on man.

Not at all. It was just made into a way bigger deal than I thought it was going to be. I didn't realize I would be flamed so hard for that statement.
ETA: I was trying hard not to make waves and really regret telling that story because I had no idea that comment would affect everyone.

@rutherily, of these two statements, which is actually a confession?
1- I will not allow my child to throw a fit. I will punish them swiftly.

2- My coworker said something rude to me.
Neither. It was an addition to the two confessions in the same post of something that was happening at the same time as posting. I also disclaimers it was more suitable for the randoms thread but I was just adding it to my two confessions.
I can't believe I'm actually going to respond to this again. I'm only doing this to myself.....
Former preschool teacher here. I've dealt with a lot of five-year-olds and no matter how "perfect" the kid seemed, EVERY. SINGLE. LAST. ONE. OF. THEM had a meltdown at some point.
FFFC: I can't tell if this is the FFFC or Randoms thread.
FFFC: I try to participate in the randoms thread but there's just so much in there I don't currr about, I usually don't make it past page 3 or so. I'm not a fan of the randoms thread.

I'm 35 and still have meltdowns. Usually over cookies too.

Right. But your coworker made that statement because of your misconception about motherhood. It was in poor taste, and a horrible thing to say to someone, but she was pretty much giving you an IRL flaming for the same thing that we're calling you out on. You're being incredibly obtuse.

You're right. I just didn't realize what I was saying was so flame worthy so it was shocking the response in real life and on here. Sorry for derailing the thread with my story.

You say something stupid
You get flamed
You fail to see why you're getting flamed
You apologize Rinse and repeat.
Well I'm not apologizing this time because I didn't say anything offensive or controversial. Just didn't realize what I said was a big deal. But sure. I guess I just can't get ahead on this site anymore cause the same thing is perceived of me no matter what I say.
