I'm
not saying I punish them for spilling a glass of milk. Hell they spilled a whole
gallon of tea one time and they didn't get punished. Well they had to clean up
the mess which they felt was punishment enough, but if they do something
accidental that can be dangerous to them if it continues, then yes they get
punished, usually through grounding or loss of allowance. I never said all kids
are basically evil. If I did, tell me where. But I don't like kids that feel
they can get away with anything b/c their parents never punish them for anything
and they do grow up to be little snots.

But what does that teach a child....how do they learn lessons about life. If they don't learn these lessons when they are young, then they grow up not always knowing the right thing to do and they are the same ones that grow up and sue e'one over something that just takes a little common sense. Ok, I get the point, you don't think they should be punished for an accident. I don't agree with that. I've seen kids that don't get punished for anything like that.....they are also the kids I don't like b/c in my own personal experience, those are the kids that as they get older, think they can get away with anything if they didn't do it on purpose.
i think thats the diffrence in the opinion because i dont believe children are basically evil and if they dont get punished for something beyond their control they are gonna grow up to be horrible.
if knowing the diffrence between whether your child does something bad intentional or on accident and not punishing em for the later makes me the bad parent so be it
