The Un-Pansification of America

I still remember her holding my hand as she spanked me with the other hand, and running around in a circle around her, as if this would help any. only led to getting spanked everywhere else. ahh the good ole days. VABusa didn't mean to hijack the thread....forgive me:whistle:
 
It's called "Soft Skills" people. We must try our best to be understanding that others have feelings. When an employee make a mistake let's not complicate the situation by yelling and pointing fingers, let's try to help them understand how this happened so the same mistake is not made again.

I remember our Plant Engineering Manager getting fired because he told us if we didn't want to do the job right, we could go flip burgers. He was holding up a stack of Wendy's applications at the time. I thought it was hilarious. The Plant Manager thought he was to abrasive and fired him.

At that job we had incompetent people stick around for years because instead of discipline, we had learning opportunities.

1) NO gift bags for other kids at my kids' birthday parties! Who invented this? I figure it was started when some bored housewife had to concoct some way to attract other kids to her kid's party. "Hey, I know, I'll bribe them and take away from the simple fact that this is supposed to be a party to celebrate one kid's special day! Now, everyone feels special!" Yay!!

It's not just the kids, I have heard parents complain about the quality of the gift bags.
 
Actually, my daughter IS going to middle school (starting 5th grade); but they have a 'graduation ceremony' for EACH grade in middle school, and you would not believe all the 'awards' these kids get. It's OVERKILL. Instead of saying "we need to cut back on this" they keep saying "we need to make sure EVERY kid gets an award, so none of them feel bad or are left out"...Jeez. When she played soccer it was the same; every kid in the league ended up with some kind of trophy. Used to be the winning team got trophies, but nobody else did (made you play harder the next year because you wanted it to be YOU that got to rag on the losers).

We are already seeing the results of pampering kids too much (Dennis' post describes prefectly); we have created a narcassitic bunch of whiney-pants totally into themselves, and we are all gonna pay for it. It's another example of Socialism at it's finest; knock down the real winners so the losers don't feel so bad. Wahhhhhhh..
 
Gee, I remember each year in school we use to have a "field day" (I think that is what it was called). Basically all the kids got to choose which activities they wanted to participate in, there was baked items and boxed lunches as well. Anyway, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners got blue, red and white ribbons. Guess what everyone else got. NOTHING!!!! Yes, us loosers were envious of those who got pretty ribbons and multiple ribbons. But you know what, they deserved them. It still was a fun day, no school at school was always cool!!! :laugh: Oh and I "gradeated" 2x. Pre-school and High School!!! :thumbsup:

I hear you. I was told to retrain the same person 4 times. Him not being able to understand it must have been a failure on my part for not providing proper training. He had already gotten more training and 1 on 1 time than members of the team that were performing above expectations. Not everyone can do every job.
 
Speaking of disciplining kids, you should have seen the look on the CPS workers face when I told I would not use timeouts instead of a belt.
 
my son is spoiled rotten! To balance it out, i hit him really hard at random, for nothing, twice a week.:rulez:
















jk....:rofl:

now i better go to bed, so i can be a good daddy and spend my sons last day at school with him tomorrow. (talent show, play, exct.)

I am trying to not get myself banned; didn't use the other "P" word up there :laugh:

Things that really irk the hell outta me anymore, that just seem to be the result of little Johnny not being treated fairly, so some random Mom stepped in and said "Hey, I need to figure out a way to make this fair" and make everyone else suffer for it!! Thus began the Pansification of our children and America, as seen by one, me, Michelle aka VaBusa, Mom extraordinaire of two kids that don't get to be raised this way :rofl:

1) NO gift bags for other kids at my kids' birthday parties! Who invented this? I figure it was started when some bored housewife had to concoct some way to attract other kids to her kid's party. "Hey, I know, I'll bribe them and take away from the simple fact that this is supposed to be a party to celebrate one kid's special day! Now, everyone feels special!" Yay!!

2) Local schools banned dodge ball and the like? I was one of the few moms with a sense of humor that giggled my butt off when I heard our local YMCA youth leader had made up a game for the kids called Jihad. Oh sure, I'm certain others were upset and some Mom's may have had mild heart attacks and wrote letters about a word they likely didn't even know how to say, but in a time when your children can no longer play tag or even hug in kindergarten, you've gotta smile when a 6 year old comes home describing how the Jihad game went today :rofl:

3) When my kids get busted smoking cigs or drinking, I plan on rushing right out to buy them every flavor of both items and encouraging them to drink 'til the midnight hour, baby...in the a.m., we'll all get up and fix eggs and bacon and have a wonderful breakfast and talk about things like "How much I puked when I did that" as we butter some bread. Oh, wait, your kids won't do that? Baa!! I count on it!! I'll be disapointed if I don't get to share these special moments with my children... :laugh:

4) "Suck it up Buttercup" is heard often in my home...mostly said to Sam when he falls and gets a boo boo...nope, not one of those Mom's that coddles and rushes to the aid of a kid that's just fallen. I grew up with a Grandfather that loved me so much, and would whip out his pocketknife to dig out splinters to save a trip to the doc. Got a boo boo, pour some of that orange stuff on it!! Might need stitches? Bandaids work for a while unless it keeps breaking open...that's how the coolest of scars are made anyway, and I tell my boys "Chicks dig scars" often, so I want the world to know I am doing my part to un-pansify one tiny section of the USA...

What are you doing? :whistle:

No eating live chickens allowed guys...just sayin'
