Bad parenting***

I grew up on a corner house in a neighborhood. People always used to cut the corner so we got a large boulder and put it at the corner. Problem solved. As we got older, friends of me and my brother thought it would be funny to roll the boulder in to middle of the driveway.

LOL. Good one. The first few times.

Then we got jobs it started making us late for work because we couldn't get out of the driveway.

Well my bedroom was in the front of the house and one night I saw the fuggers rolling it down the hill. I went out and they ran. But I knew who it was. A few days later I saw him and his brother getting gas at a QT. Walked up to the car and told him it was funny the first few times, but knock it off. We all chuckled and they agreed. I turned around and saw their mom storming over their car.

"What are you doing?! What are you saying to my kids?!" Keep in mind here 'kids' were 18-20 years old and I was 21 or 22 at the time.

Their mom flew off the handle. She went directly to my home and cussed out my parents saying her kids would never do that, I was out of line, etc. Her and her husband had never talked to my parents again, and that was like 20 years ago.

Meanwhile, the rock never moved again and both her kids have multiple DUIs and the older son was thrown out of UGA.

A tale of 2 parenting styles

May 9, 2023, 12:35 PM

Was at the Furman CU softball game on the berm and there were these 2 boys around 11-12 throwing a claimed foul ball around. It got away from them once and bounced off the back of a bag chair someone was sitting in. Owner of chair kind of laughed it off and gave the ball back and asked them to go behind the camera stand where they wouldn't run the risk of hitting anyone. One of the yellow shirts had appeared by then and also calmly reinforced the "If you're going to throw your ball, go over there away from people."
Well a few minutes later the ball got away from the kids again and bounced up through a group of people and under their feet. Yellow shirt beats the kids to the ball and picks it up and says "You had your chance, the ball is mine now." Both kids go get their dads. One dad comes in screaming and hollering, yellow shirt tells him if he doesn't want to get kicked out to back off and go away. He stomps off cussing and fussing. Other dad comes up and calmly asks what happened and when he hears the story, has his son apologize to yellow shirt, the folks the ball went through the second time, and the lady it bounced off of the first time. Dad then told son, you need to stay right beside me for the rest of the game. When the polite family started packing up, yellow shirt went up to the boy, thanked him for apologizing, shook his hand, and gave him the ball.
