I suckled until I was six, and I just can't handle the fact that I'm unable to cope.

It's not just affection from parents that help children develop into more emotionally healthy adults, but rather it's the household at large. If you grow up in an environment that is loving, and gives you attention through education (various kinds), you will be better off. Children thrive on soaking up information. That's why public schools are better social environments than home-school, because information is coming from multiple sources and it allows children to discern right from wrong information (not in a moral sense). Furthermore, religious households produce some of the most emotionally stable children. There is love from your parents on one side, and there's love from God on the other side, and both work as a means to strengthen a child's development. Children growing up in religious households often display higher senses of moral understanding, ethics, ability to reason, ability to apply logic, and so forth.

Well, it was from your dad.

Almost certainly NSFW

You're going to catch a lot with that one.

Makes me think of that french woman who smothered 8 of her newborns.

In order to do this study wouldn't they need mothers who signed up for the "I'm going to neglect my child" group?

Or are they just surveying people because all that would tell you is that people who cope well as adults have affectionate feelings towards their mothers.

Exactly what am I coping with? Real life? Is dealing with normal life on a day to day basis some great achievement now?

My parents left me alone most of the time so they could drink and do drugs and I grew up just fine, as long as I constantly drink and do drugs.

Then my son will have incredible coping skills. My father-in-law complains "are you ever going to put that baby down?" (cause he wants to hold him).

I just really like this headline.

This makes sense. I knew someone whose mother was intentionally distant from him as a tyke so he'd learn to be "independent." He's been in trouble with the law a number of times and in jail, so there's your empirical evidence.

busy chillin'

Well, it was from your dad.

I didn't suckle from my dad, I just choked his chickens and rabbits for him.

Just plop them in front of the warm glowing t.v. They practically raise them for you. They won't lash out and act entitled when they hit their tween years. I swear.

Alpha Sierra Foxtrot: As a point of comparison, this is the same woman who didn't tell anyone she had broken her hip and so walked around in pain because she "didn't want to bother anyone."

OMG nmy father-in-law spent hours in silence because he didn't want to worry anyone with his chest pain! The second he said something he was rushed to the hospital. It wasn't a heart attack, but was still serious. What's with older people acting like it's a stubbed toe???

Agrees

You kidding me? My asshole father gamed, we were playing 50 Fathoms a role playing game, through a farking heart attack. Stupid bastard just thought it was heartburn. Nobody at the table recognized the symptoms and he did not tell us. Then he got up the next day, went to work, and threw a pulmonary embolism, dropped dead right there.

Stupid farker I still miss him.

I'm in the middle of a family experiment with that very issue. My babies were doted on and my BIL's kids were Ferberized and left to cry it out.

Get some wire snippers to cut that hook out of your mouth.

So it's because I'm a middle child, only younger by a year with another sibling 3 years younger that I became the monster I am today? Huh...I always thought it was my fault because I am lazy and drug addled.. HOORAY!! MY LIFE IS FIXED! I'M SOOOO HAPPY NOW!!!!! EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK!!!

Infants cannot be "spoiled." Toddlers, on the other hand...

My wife's cousin and her husband were intentionally distant from their infant for fear that they would "spoil" him. He ended up dying in his crib before his first birthday - the doctors called it "failure to thrive."

Cynical BS is BS.

Try attacking what something actually says instead of a strawman you've created out of your own insecurity and/or ignorance.

This explains a lot, I hear excuses like this from the idiot college kids that come to work for me. "waaahhhh, it's not MY fault that i don't know how to deal with real life! waaah!"

I don't care about these idiot kids and their stories. If they had it their way, they'd just come to work, screw around all day, and go home with a paycheck. The only problem with this is, I manage a call center, and we do sales. These little brats need to hit the ground running and stop crying about how things aren't their fault when they fark up.

junket89: Exactly what am I coping with? Real life? Is dealing with normal life on a day to day basis some great achievement now?

Look around. Yes.

Duh. This is very very basic developmental psychology stuff.

Did it trickle down?

NannyStatePark: I'm in the middle of a family experiment with that very issue. My babies were doted on and my BIL's kids were Ferberized and left to cry it out.

Being left to Cry it Out doesn't mean that the child doesn't receive plenty of affection. It's just affection at appropriate times... during play and interaction and cuddle times, NOT sleep times.

When it's time to sleep, it's time to sleep. Babies who learn this have better sleep habits long term and therefore reduced stress their whole lives.

Believe me, I have ten month old twins who I have had to try to train to sleep at the same time and had to work through Cry it Out at different points in time for them due to their natural changes in schedules. I know the benefit of letting them figure out how to go to sleep on their own.

I guess that solves Numbnuts' major malfuntion.

Researchers also found that the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's asshole.

The jury is still out on whether having the common courtesy to give a man a reacharound when he's farking you in the ass is a good thing or not.

How is that possible?

I thought about that for a second and I meant to say "whether having the common courtesy to give a guy a reacharound when you're farking him in the ass."

I will learn, if it short dicks every cannibal on the Congo.

I'm talking more about letting a month old baby starve and scream because you are on a diet and your breastmilk doesn't have enough fat and protein to last a baby four hours between feeds when they are newly born and should be eating every two and a half hours anyway (which is what they did that pissed me off.) And honestly, a ten month old baby should have a bit more of a schedule than I gave mine. I watched mine fall asleep instead which created its own issues. That's the thing about being a new mom, every single well thought out course of action you pick will have a drawback of some kind, even if it's only pissing off your kid's aunt.
