Your Questions About Parenting Fail

Michael asks…

how long exactly has that fail troll Ava ? Kohen and her other accounts been trolling parents section?

how long has she been answering her self and going on other accounts making questions so she can answer them on her other accounts and making stories up for her troll questions?

Sonia answers:

Too long.

I don’t care if people find her amusing. She would be amusing if she didn’t turn so sour, insulting and rude. She harasses/insults people, intentionally and knowingly. It’s tiresome and I really wish Yahoo would block her friggin’ IP address.

I miss the trolls that just asked silly questions. Now we have trolls like Ava and her many accounts to take personal jabs at people.

Steven asks…

What will happen if other parent doesnt show up for mediation?

On 26 Sep 2008 I went to mediation hoping the father of my child would be there. I waited for him to show up for an hour and the mediator told me to goahead and go home and that he would note in the file that i was there and other parent failed to show up. what will happen on the court date its on 10 Oct 2008?

Sonia answers:

More than likely you will be given custody.

David asks…

Did you parents completely fail you, or did you turn out all right?

Sonia answers:

FAIL.

Susan asks…

I’m about to fail middle school. What should I do?

I’m 13. The last 3 grading periods, I’ve gotten A’s and B’s. I’m really smart, as in top of the class. This last grading period I got lazy, and I am going to fail science. It just so happens that this grading period is the last one in the semester. If I fail, my parents will kill me. I just need some help.

Sonia answers:

Dont be so lazy.

John asks…

Sonia answers:

Ones that are obviously a joke and ive done as well:
kids riding snakes, theyre boa constrictors, not poisonous and they dont eat humans, they had them at the zoo and all of the kids had their pictures sitting on their backs (more like kneeling over them so they dont hurt the snake)
various kids in cages, for some odd reason, my cousins loves to hang out in the dog crate, its like their little fort or something, weve taken a couple pictures before as jokes, theyre laughing the whole time and can get out any time they want
little kid with rub on tattoo tramp stamp, wasnt my idea, she put it on there innocently and simply thought she was putting her tattoo on her back
kid sticking out of washing machine, she had half her body out the whole time and i made sure no one went anywhere near the start button
kids with chinese food, dont really get this one, i guess its because the kids are a little chubby?

Ones that were staged pictures that arent really dangerous:
kid in the claw machine
baby leaning over in toilet (as long as hes not actually drinking the water)
kid “molesting” the mannequin
kids with guns, i know plenty of kids who shoot, with supervision, at targets, and the ear phones and way hes holding show that hes at a range and is being instructed
kid looking up skirts

ones that were meant as a joke but just arent funny:
kid lapping up champagne on the beach, i wouldnt want a kid putting their mouth to the sand
kid with cigarette holding moms boobs
various babies smoking unlit cigarettes
various kids with beer funnels
baby in standing in toilet, the kid is clearly crying and doesnt want to be there
wind surfing with baby strapped on
baby poll dancer
various nude shots with kid in the background
baby with bong
kid in the shopping bag
toddler leash, reason why i will never use one

ones that are just plain messed up:
baby seat in road
baby in cage sticking out of apartment
baby actually smoking cigarette
child clearly too big for a stroller and is clearly overweight eating ice cream in a stroller (unless theres some story behind it, like she has health issues)
baby on the floor while mom plays electronic poker
holding baby by the leg
kid on the trike in the busy street
flippin off the homeless woman
riding over kids hands (though i suspect theres a story behind this one)
holding kid down hole

only two that im 50/50 on is kid sleeping under the bar, could be a staged joke or could be “what were you thinking” parenting, and baby lying on pool toy in the water, we let my cousins float around on the rafts as babies all the time, with an adult standing right next to them the whole time, there could be an adult half a foot away ready to make the grab is the kid started to roll, in which case its just a staged joke, if not, thats a really stupid idea and falls into just messed up

Your Questions About Parenting Styles

Ken asks…

how parenting styles might be a focus of attention in the mental health setting.?

Sonia answers:

Have you ever noticed while out that there are some parents who pick up cuddle and soothe a crying child while other parents threaten them with spankings or ignore them completely? Which child do you think will have the more trusting, open relationship with their parent? The better the child parent relationship the better chance for the child to grow into a productive well rounded adult.
Parenting styles have everything to do with how a child turns out.

Lizzie asks…

which parenting styles is the best?

between authoritarian parents, overly permissive parents and authoritative parents..which one is the best????
and can i know why???

Sonia answers:

Authoritative parenting is actually a happy balance between authoritarian and permissive. It takes the benefits of both methods and combines them. Usually happy balances work best when working with people (including children). I like the definition which breaks permissive down into indulgent or neglectful. As the definition of permissive is too broad otherwise.

Authoritative parenting style has resulted in children becoming more mature, having more self control, self discipline, being more successful and having more friends (you will find a lot of research that shows this). I think one of the main reasons for this is that the parents who practice authoritative methods are well balanced themselves. Authoritarian parenting can be practised through fear of loosing control due to a low self esteem. Authoritarian upbringings can sometimes lead to indulgent parenting styles being adopted when the children become parents themselves. In most cases there is usually an imbalance and/or insecurity at the heart of the actions. I don’t even need to go into neglectful parenting!!

To angelmom I think attachment parenting is a form of authoritative parenting because above all it is child centered. All the needs of the child are met, they are also being taught the social rules of wider society. They are not being left to do what they want and nor are they being forced to fit into the parents ideal structure. Attachment introduces the rules when the children have the mental compacity to understand them.

Steven asks…

Parents help with parenting styles?

How does attachment and parental styles influence adult produced behaviors in children?

Sonia answers:

Try this link out- even though the first one is addressed to Dads, it give some great info about the benefits of different parenting styles.

Sharon asks…

Where can I find information about dismissive (neglectful) parenting style?

I have a pyschology project due and I need to find substantial information about dismissive parenting style. All I can find so far is about three sentences worth of info all saying basically the same thing: Dismissive parents have low limits and low love. I need more substance. Things like pyschological effects (short and long term), examples, etc.

Sonia answers:

Google “parenting style” and “personality development” You’ll get several good options.

Mark asks…

What are your views on this persons parenting style from her children?

This is what her children are like – what does it say to you about her parenting style? All are under the age of 18.

Girl 1 – Anorexic, Bulimic, Manic Depression, Self-harmer, Attempted suicide in the past.

Girl 2 – Teen mother, Alcoholic, Known for violence.

Boy 1 – Compulsive Over Eating, Self Harm, Depression.

Boy 2 – Depression, Known for violence

Girl 3 – Known for serious violence

Sonia answers:

It sounds like they weren’t breast fed or co-slept and obviously traveled in forward facing pushchairs! Lol
