Do you think the Jimmy Kimmel candy prank is a good test of the type of kid you have?

Does it make him cry hysterically? If so, then yes, please stop.

Also, to the parents whose children flipped them the bird b/c they were told, mom had eaten all they’re candy, shows exactly what kind of parenting skills they are being subjected to…or should I say, lack of parenting skills.

If you do it to them, they will do it, in school to other kids, thinking that it's ok to do so....and that is why so many kids today are being bullied in school. It’s b/c of the parents….they are learning this from the parents, hearing the parents talking, swearing, and acting out in a way that exhibits no control over their emotions.
Some parents just shouldn't be parents....period.

and, I might add, putting all forums into one neat little category to fit your agenda, is not only a deterrent on your part….

we can agree to disagree, but generalizing about all forums is generalizing about all people who are indifferent to your opinion

But I will say this, the way that some people, (not nearly all) write in forms these days, proves how immature and uncaring they really are….is it any wonder kids become malicious little terrors.

and I bet if someone reported Jimmy Falon to Child Welfare, he'd be corrected but quick...

LMAO I like how you take more offense to me generalizing about forums than you do people generalizing about parents' love for their children because of a prank. And now you're saying I, and others, shouldn't even have kids? And equate a prank with bullying??? Okey dokey.

Priceless.

and I like how you take words out and insert your own meanings to them to push your side....you can't just allow people their own opinion, you have to resort to generalizing, as if we all fit into one neat little box...of course I will as that was your reply....how did you put it? "forums are the Olympics of hyperbole"? so if you feel that way, then why even bother?

and yes, I will always equate making a child cry as child abuse....b/c an adult thinks it's funny when they tell them they ate all their candy....yeah, oh yeah, I most certainly will....

and Margritte25, please note: I take no offense to you what-so-ever....honest....
