nope, like I said Annie , it doesn't work for everyone . But if all 6 kids left home at 15 , I would think the dad was much different to me . I don't go round bullying or hitting my family. But if someone ( other than family ) interferes in my life and makes my life a misery , or completely stops me from doing what I want , just because they want to , then I will interfere with their life in a way they don't like ....and they will remember it for a long time...
We are all different and deal with situations differently . My way may not be the right way , it is just my way . I wouldn't just hit them without any warning ...I make the situation very clear to them and tell them exactly what I will do, if they do whatever they are about to do .... So if they then go and do it ... tuff !!! I'll hit them .
All I want is a quiet life and to be left alone . Some people won't leave you alone though ... they have to push and keep on pushing .... well so be it ... I can push too ...and will . I make no apologies for it , I am what I am . But I do not go round hitting people willy nilly , nor am I a bully . When I was at school, I stopped the bullying that was going on . The 4th year so called hard nuts , picking on the little 1st year kids . I went and kicked the crap out of all the bullies one by one , and told them every time one of them hit another little 1st year kid I would go round and kick the crap out of them all again....no more little kids got bullied or hit ...Mind you I did have a meeting with a dozen or so of the hard nuts, 12 onto 1 ...real hard cases eh ? . Well I came off worse . A week or so in hospital , and a few cracked ribs and a broken nose and a cracked cheek bone and 30 odd stitches. But these things heal ...and then I gave them what they gave me ...and more ... one by one . They never touched me or anyone else again . I will not be bullied by anyone , nor will I bully anyone . But there are consequences to actions and some people think they can interfere , control and ruin other peoples lives, without consequence ... wrong ... not with me . Like I say , I may not be right , it is just how I am .
cheers
Russ
