  1. the chicken,

    the parenting community is tight knit like any community so after a while by word of mouth the angry parent was found out. as suspected, the parent was known for fits of hysteria over her hothouse flower and most understood the incident for what it was, an overprotective parent using a meaningless incident as a springboard to rail against the perceived callousness of “parental cliques”.

  2. “For the record, she NEVER calls him that to his face, she only refers to him as such on her blog.”

    Thanks for the clarification.

    I was kind of concerned that a parent would call a child that to it’s face. I think it would be emotionally abusive to use that term on a child and would show a lack of parenting skills.

  3. My twin sister and I were true brats and my parents were the old-fashioned types. I had my share of butt smacks- but that’s all it was. No beatings, no torture. Hmmmm…perhaps if they had been more disciplinarian I could have turned out like you, dave. An evil hedge fund manager 😉

  4. I’d call my child BIMBO.
    Is that wrong?

  5. Kens,
    Yes I had all intention on stopping, but my usual crowd wouldn’t let me go! I didn’t get away until about 11:40 and then I was way too tired. Next time I’ll make better effort.
