It's just interesting to me that you place so much emphasis on how you raise your children better than other people ... at least people on here.

Plus, you strike me as a person with severe self-esteem issues. For example, you post on a board where the vast majority of your fellow posters dislike you. This exposes you to constant criticism which you appear to relish. It doesn't require a degree in psychology to recognize that, at some level, you feel you deserve to be criticized. I'm sure you're aware that most successful people prefer to associate with those who support, encourage, and empower while avoiding situations that are rife with negativity.

You, of course, attempt to shroud yourself in argument as though to present an image that is confident and self-assured. Still, the mere fact that you voluntarily expose yourself to constant disparagement belies that pretense.

Funny, Logical made many of these observations when he hated me only to realize that I live by Eleanor Roosevelt's creed 'no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.' We grew to be good friends when he realized his assumptions were wrong. That my foray into psychology. Eastern philosophy, and yoga background insulates me from much of the crap. I just don't give a shit. Your problem with me is your problem. Just as mine with anyone else is. It's a choice. I choose not to. If I don't like someone on these stupid boards they are on ignore. Rather than waste my time engaging them or worrying about them.

And I'm not saying I raised my kids better than anyone. I'm saying that it's possible to raise good kids without spanking them. If you doubt it consider that the vast majority of kids these days are raised without being spanked and are good kids. The ones who aren't are the ones we hear about. Not the good ones. They are not interesting. As this video proves. Troubled, dysfunctional, abused, etc. make news not the kids who are doing well, living their lives, and becoming good human beings.

For someone who is into psychoanalyzing, I'm seeing a great deal of projection and assumption coming from you. Don't quit your day job.
