 | Jim, I was restless last night and I read a bunch of your posts. It really has me confused about you. Are you "trolling" as well as smoking out others who are? I am truely unable to determine what your motives are. I want to assure you that every single message I have written has been honest and sincere. I am a genuine person that was on this board with genuine points of view. I would love to think everyone else is, but from some of the things I read, I realize that I can't be sure. Please share you thoughts further. I would like to add that I HATE spanking, but for certain reasons that we can discuss later, I have had to spank my 3 year old son a few more times than I would like before I got him to respond to my directions. Fortunately he learned very fast and would prefer the love and positive reinforcement. The problem is, that there are times now that I reach for him and he shrinks back in a defensive position. It breaks my heart that my son sees me as someone he needs to defend himself from, and we are working on healing that wound. I know we will, but it truely has hurt me as much as it has hurt him. Thank you for your favorable comments, provided they were for real and not just an attempt to stroke me into coming back here. My Ego really does not need it, but I admit I appreciate it. |
