Parenting Tip # 51 What To Do When Your Child Throws A Temper Tantrum

I love going to the store without my children and seeing other parents struggling with their terribly behaved little monsters throwing temper tantrums, screaming and crying. Their misery is so amusing to me. When I walk by I always smile and say, “Isn’t that cute… does your child have Tourettes?” But when Daddy goes out with his four-year-old, the youngest and the only one who hasn’t gotten the memo that Daddy doesn’t play the temper tantrum game, and when he throws himself on the floor and starts wailing, all the parents around you look up and want to see your reaction. Like what are you gonna do, smack him, yell at him, or give in like a big fat pussy. But NO! Daddy doesn’t respond by hitting, smacking, or yelling. Daddy throws himself on the ground in the middle of Toys-R-Us and starts crying out, “I want a new car! I don’t want to drive a freaking Mini Van and look like a freakin’ loser in front of my friends! But Daddy can’t keep his dick in his pants and now regrets going to toy store!” Then I calmly stand up and say, “Now shut up, put the toy in the god damn cart, and lets go! Daddy loves you.”

Parenting Tip #50 Give Your Child Cute Little Nicknames

When giving your child a nickname its important that this name describes your frustration with the child. My daughter for example always spills her drinks. So Daddy has named her Spills McGhee. And without fail every time I call her Spills McGhee she cries. So then I add, “Spills McGhee, Don’t cry over spilt milk, Spills McGhee.” See that’s where the lesson fits in. I tied it back to an old fashion saying. But it’s important to use the nickname frequently because it also teaches them not to make that mistake again. Now when she spills a drink she automatically cries and looks at me in fear that I might call her Spills McGhee. I always respond to that fear by looking her in the eye and yelling in a “I told you so tone” by saying “Spills McGee strikes again!” It’s not that I mind her spilling a drink and wasting valuable resources, but she seems to spill the drink all over the table at the worst time, right before Daddy is about to chow down on dinner. But don’t limit the nickname as a response to a certain activity, call them the nickname out of nowhere just so they remember that you never forget.

Parenting Tip #49 Teaching Your Child the Importance of Prayer

Daddy’s relationship with God is pretty simple, I only pray for selfish gain, and when God comes through all is good. I remember the first time I prayed to God. It was last year around Christmas while looking for a Nintendo Wii. During a trip to Wal-Mart I decided that it was going to take some divine intervention for the children and most importantly Daddy to have a brand new Wii under the tree. But I realized having never talked to God before that maybe the voices of three little children might motivate him/her to have a Wii magically appear in the Electronics Department. So I said, “Kids, I really need your help. Let’s pray to God that Wal-Mart has a Nintendo Wii, so daddy can ignore you all on Christmas day.” So the oldest starts praying, “Please God let there be world peace and can we please have a Nintendo Wii.” I immediately yelled for her to stop and explained that praying for world peace is an absolute waste of time and if they don’t have a Wii now, it’s all her fault because God is now laughing at her silly request. So as we reach the Nintendo isle and of course no Wii’s. I gave my daughter a look that explains exactly how I feel about the situation without having to use the words “You really screwed that up royally!”

So we rush to Target as fast as we can. This time I said, “Children, God has really let us down. Let’s pray to Satan and see if he will answer our prayers.” My daughter a little reluctant decides to sit this prayer out. I acknowledge her request but explain that it is only because she messed up the first time. Daddy goes on “Dear dark lord of the underworld I will sell my soul and the souls of my children to you, if we can have a Nintendo Wii.” We near toward electronics and of course, NO NINTENDO WII! “Satan has failed us!” I exclaimed to the kids while walking out.

So I rip the children out of Target faster then a soccer mom on meth. We head toward Best Buy. While running in, I advise the children, “God has let us down today, Satan won’t pick up the phone, Daddy makes all the money, Let us pray to Daddy.” My children recant “Please Daddy let there be a Nintendo Wii at Best Buy.” At that moment a beam of light was shining on the last Nintendo Wii. Three people are quickly approaching the display. I had my son run in front of the mother looking type and pretend to cry, while daddy pimp slapped a 13-year old boy onto the ground and said, “Ho! Ho! Ho! Bitch!” Then the final fight was some crazy old lady who kicked daddy in the balls, I looked at her and grinned then said, “That doesn’t hurt! My balls are in my wife’s purse.” Then I stole her cane and used it to reach the last Wii. Victory was mine. Holding the box to the sky I yelled at my children, “Daddy is God! And DON’T YOU EVER FORGET THAT!” Daddy was so excited he couldn’t wait to get home and play Nintendo Wii, but sadly the children had to wait for Christmas….

Parenting Tip # 48 Rules For Attending Your Child’s Sporting Events

Sports are important. It’s the only thing that allows Daddy to feel connected to the to the rest of the family and gives him an opportunity to bond with his son. If your child expresses concern about playing sports or flat out says “I don’t like football,” tell him, “When Daddy found out he was having a boy he was really excited because one day my boy was going to play football. If you don’t want to play football, I no longer have a son, I have a pansy.” Then sign him up for football anyway, boys love football, so your boy will learn to like it or he will learn to catch a ball because daddy will just throw balls at his head everyday until he is tired of a black eye and decides to man up. Once you have your child’s buy in, it’s time to watch football every Saturday.

Rule #1: Be Drunk

Sports and Beer go together like peanut butter and jelly so it’s extremely important to be intoxicated at these events. The drunker you are , the more of a scene you will cause, which makes it more fun for spectators because these kids are no pros.

Rule #2: Yell at Everyone

The ref is blind. The coach has no idea what he is doing. The other kids are clearly not as good as your son. And when your son fumbles he needs to be emotionally abused in front of everyone on the field because he is clearly not as good as you were when you played.

Rule #3: Fighting in the Stands is Mandatory

Other Parents have loud mouths at these events. Never let them get the last word. How dare they yell at a play or encourage their child during the game. But keep in mind before you throw a punch at the loud mouth Dad that wont shut up, make sure he isn’t a father of a player on your sons team.

Rule #4: If You Don’t Get Kicked Out of a Game You Don’t Love Your Child

If the first three tips don’t get you escorted out of the game then you don’t love your child. They will never reach their full potential in sports and your shot at them ever going pro is never gonna happen.

Rule #5: Keep Brochures for Ballet Classes set on the Coffee Table

Just so your son knows that if he’s gonna be a pansy, you’ll treat him like one. Then have mommy take him dress shopping.

Parenting Tip # 47 Play Hide and Seek with your Kids

Anything that involves daddy spending time with his children is really not his cup of tea. Whoever said, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Probably didn’t have children cause honestly sometimes the sight of them can induce vomiting. That’s why daddy’s favorite game is “Hide and Seek.” This game can give you hours of peace and quiet. Daddy learned this trick during his volunteering days at Big Brothers Big Sisters. My mother thought it would be great if I was involved in the community, I thought it would be great to leave my little brother in a park for three hours while I went to the arcade.

Depending on your child’s attention span they might get antsy for you to find them. They will start by yelling, “I am over here daddy, bet you can’t find me.” Then 30mins to 1hr when you haven’t moved from the couch, they usually come out of hiding and look at you with a face that expresses pure victory. This is the time to help build their self-esteem or they might not want to play again. So don’t mess this up by saying I wasn’t even looking for you. Instead smile and say “Gee whiz you are such a good hider, since I couldn’t find you I guess that means Daddy has to count again.” Then before they can formulate a thought just start counting, “1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi.” And they’re off for another 30 minutes or so.

Parenting Tip # 46 Putting Soap in Your Child’s Mouth for Swearing

Have you ever put soap in your child’s mouth? Well when Mommy’s dinner tastes like crap soap isn’t really all that effective. After inserting soap into the mouth of my oldest son, he looked up and said “Wow! That’s at least got (insert swear word he used the first time which was the reason he is receiving the soap, let me give you a hint: starts with F) fruity flavor!” The most important part of the tip is do not laugh when they are swearing, no matter how cute it is to see a 5-year-old drop the F bomb especially with alliteration like F*@#kin Fruity Flavor. But remember when in punishment mode do not show signs that swearing is acceptable or humorous. Back to the soap in mouth part, so the little bastard drops the F bomb again while I am inserting soap. And I say that’s why I am putting soap in your (I drop F bomb with a spice of ing) mouth to begin with! Why would you say it again? The child’s response “Yeah! It tastes good! Can we do that again?” I responded “Only if you say, ‘Please sir can I have another?’” I love when disciplining your child blows up in your face and instead of the child learning a lesson you discover mommy needs cooking lesson.

Parenting Tip # 45 Talking to Your Child About Sex Part II (Girls)

For you daughters 11th birthday her gift is a trip to the gynecologist for a nice Depo-Provera shot just to “so called regulate her period.” Sex to her should be clouded by false ideas and should leave her ridden with guilt. When you get home from the gyno it’s time to Google search pictures of diseases and say this is what happens if you ever have sex. Then follow with more brain washing about how guys only use you for your vagina and don’t really care about you. Then tell her when daddy knocked up mommy he really thought about running away but mommy’s dad had a shotgun and since you don’t have a shotgun no one will ever marry her. After this talk if she has any questions about sex or seems vaguely interested, lock her in her room until she is 20. But at 16 if your daughter has a boyfriend for a year and isn’t sexually active tell her he can sleep over because he is gay for dealing with her princess ass for a whole year and not tapping that ass.
