I said I get emotional when I hear of crimes that involve children, but I realise you can't make laws based on those emotions. In other words, judges and courts have to be fair to both the victim and the transgressor. But of course in such a situation if my children were the victims I'd be highly biased.<BR/><BR/>Also, if it so happened that a child of mine were a transgressor, I'd hope they were treated fairly by the courts, and not made into a public scapegoat for the anxieties and emotions of the general populace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-4235230035597303122008-11-24T11:37:00.000+11:002008-11-24T11:37:00.000+11:00At the age of 10 it took me 4 months to work off t...At the age of 10 it took me 4 months to work off the cost of 2 packets of butter menthols at the local milk bar, every weekend, I cleaned, stacked, served etc. <BR/><BR/>It didn't really teach me much which is why I'm planning on something harsher for my kids!WitchOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562967775567670188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-42234511802116239012008-11-24T10:36:00.000+11:002008-11-24T10:36:00.000+11:00Haha.

My sister stole a packet of chewing gum when we lived in PNG, and of course she blamed it on me (she was the golden child who could do no wrong, but was actually an evil bitch). My dad took me down the back of the store and turned on the meat slicer. Then he took my hand and threatened to put it through the meat slicer, because that's what they do to thieves up there - chop their hands off (or at least, they threaten to). I really thought he was going to do it too, because my hand was only inches from the machine before he turned it off. Then he locked me in the cold room for 5 minutes and turned off all the lights.<BR/><BR/>It worked on me, even though I wasn't the one who stole the chewing gum. I've been a rule follower ever since.

All rational behaviour would be out the window.<BR/><BR/>In terms of my own doing something wrong, I agree with Witchie (I'm back to just agreeing with everyone again), come down hard the first time. The main thing of course is to love them and if they love you back enough they won't want to do something that would upset you. Sounds trite I know but 3 kids down the track I'm firmly convinced that the real key is keeping them close and it's like osmosis. If you're a good person and you have a close relationship with them they'll turn out ok too. Most of the time. My children are almost perfect, like me.<BR/><BR/>I know you're all deeply concerned, but Sydney looks much better this morning. Any outdoor activity was off the cards yesterday. So it looks like we're off to the zoo for sure today.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait.wari lasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510841562408680249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949589573125647543.post-27980048270169890122008-11-23T23:01:00.000+11:002008-11-23T23:01:00.000+11:00Boogey, you're far too sweet, I'm already planning...Boogey, you're far too sweet, I'm already planning on having my kids locked in the cells for an hour or 2 depending on how many packets of lollies they've stolen, the first time.
