How To Be A Stupid Parent
1. Discipline your children only when you lose your temper.
Let them get away with anything until you’re fed up; then,
in a spirit of hostility and anger, let ‘em have it! Blow
your top, holler, get wild, clobber them and really make a brawl
out of it. The children will get a bang out of you.
2. Don't make yourself approachable, you might have to listen and
reason with them. If you get too
chummy, they’ll want to talk things over with you. And
who’s got time to waste with kids? You’ve got more
important things to do.
3. If they’ve done wrong, never let them forget it. Keep
rubbing it in; they’ll loathe you for it. A father was
telling me in front of his son about the trouble the boy had
gotten into 5 years ago when he was 13. The boy was ashamed and
disgusted. When the father went to answer the phone, the son said
in an undertone, “He makes me sick.” I felt like
saying, “Me, too.”
4. Give your child all the spending money he wants; don’t
make him earn it. Money in large quantities is an acceptable
substitute for love. After awhile he’ll want only your money
and couldn’t care less about you. It’s something like
starving him on cream puffs.
5. Compare your child with someone else to make him smarten up.
Use that beautiful expression, “Why can’t you be like
Johnny?” He’ll despise you and Johnny both!
6. Mother and father should disagree in regard to the rules for
their youngsters. Children will then learn to play one parent
against the other.
7. Never let the kids think for themselves. They haven’t the
equipment. (The reason may be in their
heredity or environment). Make all the decisions for them so
they’ll never be able to handle life.
8. Treat them with suspicion. Never trust the sneaky little
characters.
If they turn out well, it won’t be your fault. IT’LL BE
A MIRACLE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!!
