Modern Day Parenting
-
When my daughter was of a certain age, she used to lose it and absolutely could not be reasoned with. She was like the frikken terminator, could keep going for hours, relentlessly. We tried everything. <br><br>
Timeouts couldn't work as she would follow us around the house. I would have to literally drag her kicking and screaming to her bedroom and physically hold the door shut on the outside so she wouldn't come out. After about an hour she might calm down, then on release was happy to kick-off again. <br><br>
Then she just grew out of it, been nice as pie ever since. <br><br>
Kids eh! -

Not sure that's great parenting, it's how you create an over indulged entitled little shit I reckon. Whats the bet Lorde and Max Key have trees in their rooms or some similar extravagance ? -

<p>I'm not sure I would put Lorde and Max together myself. One is a self made woman who conquered the music world at a young age, the other has done.....?</p> -

Meh I find the hype around her and her in general irritating , particularly the bullshit about her being " brave". She's not exactly Malala is she?<br>
I was going to say Millie Holmes but any plants in her room would have grown by her. -

<p>Good to see you hitting the ground running in 2016 :fishing:</p>

<p>Don't think Lorde has ever played the entitlement card or operates like Max. I'd call her brave for rocking those dance moves bro!</p> -

Cheers, hope you had a good Xmas.<br><br>
I have yet to see her dance, hope to keep it that way too. -

<p>thing is, the media are making Max out to be some NZ 'it' guy, famous for being famous (in NZ) because of his dad, and in todays world, most people of his age would be lapping it up</p>

<p>I'm not sure what exactly Max has done to make the Herald stalk him, its not clear whether its entirely his doing, Entitled might have been harsh but I reckon over indulged is pretty fair , I hate myself for reading this article to prove my point but</p>

<p>I don't have any daughters but if I did and a 23 year old guy was sniffing around my 16 year old daughter he'd have difficulty sniffing after I got a hold of him, from what I've seen of her parents they strike me as "modern parents" in the worst kind of way who probably approved of the relationship.</p>
