…it happens lol

… I think the Old Man was pleased with the aggression… even though momma had always quoted the Bible and turn the other cheek… like she was trying to undo generations of aggressive behavior

… and the Old Man was onboard to keep peace maybe ?

… although he ruled the roost for sure … at home and abroad

… almost like they wanted us to be doctors and lawyers or something

… I was shielded from the Old Man’s side of the family for the most part … momma didn’t want me to turn out like them

…. But they were what legends are made of …..epic stories of justified violence…politically motivated fraudulent incarceration … just redneck outlaws with no remorse

…. Loggers…Commercial deer poaching and fisherman…livin by their own rules and what have you … true Americans

… mommas side wasn’t much better by today’s standards lol

…. Now we all just a bunch of conformist

… Sad

Here's some quick reading material from the Montana Code Annotated 45-3-107 for parents and school law for teacher's its 20-4-302

I don't know how to cut and paste these to this post so you'll have to do it yourself ha ha it's some interesting reading for parents with kids , smart parents make copies , then laminate them and keep copies handy in case they are needed to show a CPS person or police officer .

Heard on the news an 11 year old shot and killed his adoptive father because he took away the Nintendo as a punishment.

Good reason not to marry single mothers

This would all be for not if'n you kids would have just listened!

Quite the assumption. They could have adopted the child together, it wasn't necessarily hers biologically.

…. Still a bad idea

…. Imagine there’d be a lot of drama attached

Yea, but I would think you could get quite the bargain.

Many guys use single mothers, with no plans of ever marrying one. Many men will use a woman they would never, ever marry. The more men a woman has been used by, the less likely any man will ever marry her.

Interesting thread bringing back a lot of memories. My dad didnt cut us no slack and grandad would get you also. A sow with uncut teeth ran dad up a fence once and i laughed and got the hog shocker and i went up the fence next. Pulling posts with a backhoe with grandad i was the chain man and grandad was operator. He demanded 2 wraps of the chain. I wrapped one once and gave the pull it sign. He knocked me down with the bucket and gave a 2 finger signal. I started listening lol. Good times nothing wrong with discipline. Abuse is different. Hard to tell with the news these days if they got the story right

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
