Coming Home Late

rovermadman — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:53:51 +0000

Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says,

“You know, I don’t know what else to do. Whenever I go home after we’ve been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. I take my shoes off before I go into the house, I sneak up the stairs, I get undressed in the bathroom. I ease into bed and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late!”

His buddy looks at him and says, “Well, you’re obviously taking the wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, throw my shoes into the closet, jump into bed, rub my hands on my wife’s butt and say, ‘Lets do it!’

….and she’s always sound asleep.

The doctors funeral

rovermadman — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:50:50 +0000

A famous heart specialist doctor died and everyone was gathered at his funeral. A regular coffin was displayed in front of a huge heart.

When the minister finished with the sermon and after everyone said their good-byes, the heart was opened, the coffin rolled inside, and the heart closed.

Just at that moment one of the mourners started laughing.
The guy next to him asked: “Why are you laughing?”

“I was thinking about my own funeral” the man replied.
“What’s so funny about that?”

“I’m a gynecologist.”

Democracy……Where is it?

rovermadman — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:59:10 +0000

Firstly, what is democracy. Democracy is where where the government carries out the will of the majority.
If that is the case then how many democratic countries are there? I would argue that the answer to this question is NONE.
For all the claims of politicians of so called democracies I would ask, when do you actually carry out the wishes of your citizens?
You are elected on the only day that your country is a true democracy….election day.
After that you ride roughshod over the people introducing laws that the people do not want. What do you call a country like that…..A dictatorship?
I challenge any government of any “democracy” to always listen to what the majority of your citizens want. Now that would be a true democracy…..

Should the west interfere?

rovermadman — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:56:56 +0000

We have a situation where the Iranians are developing nuclear enrichment programs and the countries of the west are jumping up and down trying to stop them.
What next? Will the west again invade a country simply because it doesn’t agree with it’s policies or government?
How can the countries who have nuclear capability tell another country that they cannot have the same right?
Would it not be better for the nuclear capable nations to lead by example and scrap their own nuclear weapons so that there is no longer a need for them.
It’s a “mines bigger than yours” syndrome that the world can do without.
The west states that these nations cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons but at the end of the day only one nation ( from the WEST) has actually used them in anger.
Lastly, what has happened every time the west has invaded a country because it disagreed with it’s policies?
In every case the people of that country have ended up worse off and the cost to the invaders has been astronomical.
What do you thin? Should the west interfere or live and let live?
Can the countries of the west be trusted any more than others not to abuse nuclear weapons?

Is this a reason for stress and mistreated children?

rovermadman — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:03:46 +0000

I am the father of two sons ages 2 ½ years and 7 months. Nothing unusual in that I hear you say and normally that would be correct.
However as I am 58 years old and have two other sons ages 33 and 31years I feel qualified to ask the following question.
Are the modern ideas contributing to the mistreatment of children and the break up of relationships?.
The modern way, aimed at what is best for the child, instructs parents that when a baby cries you feed it, pick it up, or both.
The end result is a baby which has learned very quickly that it can get a cuddle and a feed any time it asks for one.
While this is possibly the best thing for the baby, is it good for the family as a whole?.
If the baby is getting constant attention the result is sleepless nights and stressed parents.
Everyone is constantly tired and “short fused” resulting in possible harming of a baby that is always crying and arguments between mum and dad. Of course any other children get caught up in the situation as well.
This was what happened in my first marriage with my older two boys. Constant sleepless nights and bickering caused by “baby fatigue”.
With my second wife and the current two boys we decided to apply good old fashioned “routine”.
Feed times and sleep times were set and adhered to.
When it was sleep time the baby was put to bed with a kiss and a hug, and left to
settle. We used no distractions like mobiles etc as stimulation is the last thing needed to settle a baby.
We then applied the 10 minute rule if the baby cried. As baby was fed and dry he had no reason to cry. If he did we would only go to him after 10 minutes had passed. This NEVER happened as the longest cry was 2 to 3 minutes before he went to sleep. The 2 am feed was continued until baby himself slept through it.
The result was that one child slept through the night at 4 weeks and the other at 9 weeks.
Children and parents thrive with routine.
Our children are now in bed by 7pm and sleep until 7am the next morning. They are “bright eyed and bushy tailed” the next day and are not tired and “scratchy”. There is an absence of stress in our house.
My wife and I get “our time” in the evenings and can relax and get our own rest.
I know that there are many who would disagree with me and say that you have to do what is best for the baby. I would argue that what is best for the baby is to be raised in a stress free home with two loving parents who have not parted because of constant bickering brought about by fatigue.
Even more important is the fact that the child in this situation is less likely to be shaken, or worse still, beaten.
