I didn't claim to be experienced, nor did I say I had any good advice for him.

A 28 year old parent? How old is your kid?

You say you were a parent, which implies he/she is an adult now.



lol u mad?
lol no. It just saddens me that the kid is getting a free education and is just crapping all over it. I did that before and wasn't able to get into a college for years because of that same attitude when I was attending.

A 28 year old parent? How old is your kid?

You say you were a parent, which implies he/she is an adult now.
Yet you assumed I didn't either which was rather an uneducated response.

And the kids I had were from relationships with single mothers. All of them loved and respected me and called me dad despite their mothers not wishing them to do so. I admit, I am not their dad, but I sure as hell acted and accepted them as if they were my own. Unfortunately, when the relationships went bad and ended, I couldn't be there to officially parent them, though on occasions, I do babysit. In any case, I have been a parent, I have a good deal of experience, and as far as the kids are developing now, they seem to remember lessons I teach them and apply them in a positive and constructive way. So in short, yes I was a parent, and a darned good one. My last relationship ended because the ex thought I was more into being a dad for the kids than to be with her. So she felt neglected. So I'm a good parent, apparently lousy boyfriend. lol

Yes, but yours is an infant, if I am correct.
Don't mess with this guy, he will get an asian elphant an ram your walls with it.

Good point.
Wow, you're the first person to remember that I'm a father.
<_>

It obviously doesn't sadden you. All you did was string off insult after insult towards him, telling him how much of an idiot he was for passing this up and being a general cunt.

How is that you trying to explain to him not to repeat your mistakes?

It was more educated than you think. I believe it is fine to make the assumption of a 28 year old male not having raised children from birth to adulthood.

And guess what, I was right. Those kids weren't yours and you didn't care for them from their diapers to their graduation.

Stop derailing this damn thread and get back on the subject.

Your parents do things because they know its best for you. If you've been whiny a lot and you didn't get that new Playstation 3 you wanted for Christmas then there's a good reason behind it.

Likewise, if they signed you up for sunday school then obviously its for your own greater good.
Everything your parents do for you pays off, even the bad things.

He already knows how to speak vietnamese, why be forced to learn something that you already know, why waste 200 dollars in times like this? Why should he learn to speak vietnamese if he is going to Europe, they dont speak that language there.

Obviously there's got to be a good reasoning behind this, otherwise his parents aren't really thinking straight.

Or it's a punishment for doing something stupid.

$200 for a punishment?
God damn, that would be insane.

Spending $200 for a punishment is really stupid.

More like stupidty behind it.

And you've never blatantly insulted anyone for not doing something you feel is right. Okay Jesus.

I'm not the only one to make that mistake. Every parent made many mistakes that they yell at their kids for repeating. That's what parenting is all about. You'll learn this when you have kids.

A parent isn't defined as raising a kid through his entire life. It's defined as a person of moral standpoint that guides and rears a child. I don't remember ever seeing a specific definition of how long that applies for.

Yeah, big deal. What part of me not being a parent does that accomplish. I was a parent, and I did a great job of it while I was. If it was up to me, I would have and would still be there for them. Unfortunately it wasn't, so nothing I can do save for move on and find someone who can commit and have kids with and I'll still be a kick ass patent then as I was before. It changes nothing.

Your logic denotes that any adopted kid has no parents. Most of them do. Really lousy ones. In all terms I was a temporary adoptive parent because had I ended up marrying the woman, I would have loved to adopt the kids as my own. Not biological, but certainly legal.

You don't know enough about parenting to even define what one is. So any statement you make on that subject isn't valid.
