What if there had been a fire or a medical emergency or a million other reasons that locking a child in a room is a bad loving idea.

artsy fartsy posted:I don't have kids so I can't argue with that, but attacking animals is not normal 8-year-old mischief, right? My original point is the cat specifically getting frozen isn't the OP's fault, because who the hell could even predict that scenario. the kid seems to be acting out, i'm guessing because his mom leaves him with strangers for hours at a time. whether that is by convenience or necessity, who knows. it's also plausible for an 8 year old to be dumb and sadistic enough to confine a cat if the child has seen routine animal abuse or is being abused themselves that is all theoretical though. it doesn't matter how well behaved the kid is, it was naive of the OP to say "sure you can leave your child in my home for multiple hours, on the understanding that i will not watch them or interact with them". that is irresponsible, any child who you could count on to be left alone for hours at a time is a child who is old enough not to need a babysitter Rubellavator posted:What if there had been a fire or a medical emergency or a million other reasons that locking a child in a room is a bad loving idea. i dont think a fire will suddenly happen in a bathroom without the op noticing, although the op may go out of their way to ignore the child as hard as possible

Sorry buddy but this Reddit rear end in a top hat that you're trying to defend is actually an rear end in a top hat, and should have said that she wouldn't watch the kid if she wasn't going to watch the kid. But don't worry, I'll tell her how you white knighted for her and maybe she'll swing by to give you a handy later

Exploiting people for free childcare is pretty whack, especially if you've raised the kind of idiot that thinks a cat occupies the same categorical space as a box of Push Pops

I don't know if it's racist, I know you can be racist against white people but is it really racism when you're racist against those who are bigots? i know we like to bag on everything wrong with america, but the british really are the OG's at this poo poo, goddamn

A Wizard of Goatse posted:lot easier to keep unbroken surveillance on the kid when they're confined to a single small room with nothing to hide behind, so I gotta laud the OP for some quick improvisation in the absence of a Hannibal Lecter style big cage in the center of a warehouse When Trump is voted out and we sort out our immigration crisis, there's gonna be a lot of empty ICE detention centers and unemployed guards looking for work. Thinking there's a good opportunity there to open a few High-Volume Babysitting Centers.

[29/F] Might need to uninvite a groomsmen [32/ M] from our weddingquote:TLDR; one of our groomsmen has proven that he can't behave himself at weddings, and he doesn't take the event seriously. Not sure if we should give him the chance to clean his act up or if we should just uninvite him from the wedding party now.

LadyPictureShow posted:[29/F] Might need to uninvite a groomsmen [32/ M] from our wedding if a 32 year old man is behaving like a substantial alcoholic then you owe it to the guy to tighten down on the social consequences for his unacceptable behavior. private talks and emotional coddling isn't going to work. shunning might not work either, it might make things worse, but at least he won't ruin your wedding

she needs to tell the mom she can’t watch the kid anymore, and if (when given her attitude) the mom just drops him off anyway, call CPS
