13 Aug 2008 Parenting thought: Be strict or they grow up stupid
I was visiting my mum last weekend for a family barbecue. There were also babies and kids there due to my brother and step sister having kids of their own. I made a comment to my brother regarding how hard it must be being strict to kids and laying down the rules for them. His reply was:
"You've got to be strict with kids. Otherwise they grow up stupid and they won't know why."
I thought about what he said and it made sense. It was a good quote I thought.
What are your thoughts on the subject? Discuss!

Personally, I'd rather be stupid AND ignorant. I am stupid but I know it but I can't help it, thats way worse, If only I wasnt intelligent enough to know how stupid I am... Even worse, I'm only just intelligent enought to know I'm stupid but not quite intelligent enough to rectify the stupidity.... Conundrum....
