Yeah I am a very light sleeper and have trouble sleeping through the night. If you're going to be noisy/moving enough to wake me up, please go elsewhere in the apartment.

I would probs ask my partner to relocate for precisely this reason. Like I would go to the living room so you could sleep; please do me the same courtesy.

He ACTS like the spoiled kid you went to school with that cried if the other kids didn't do what he said, too.

I went to Mizzou. It was very popular among the sorority women. The Lilly day planners really are great tho.

It probably isn't CRIMINAL neglect in this case either. CPS involvement doesn't necessarily mean someone is being charged with a crime. Often, it just means a social worker will go speak with the parents about why the problem is a problem and help them come up with a solution.

This is a false dichotomy.

Hear, hear.

From the flu? Sure. From alcohol poisoning? Definitely an indicator that a person is too intoxicated to consent.

Speaking of vomiting... Are we really supposed to believe that this kid saw Rehtaeh vomiting out a window and believed her to be capable of consenting to sex? What? Who would think "I know she just threw up from alcohol, but she's not stopping me so she must be into it?"

Yeah, he seems like a shitty person, but they both performed beautifully here. It was moving, they had good chemistry. I think people are not picking up that it's supposed to be a father/daughter thing bc of the age difference. Also people like to hate on Shia.

Just because a person is concerned about something doesn't mean they should be. If they were spanking "in a reasonable manner" then they shouldn't be worried.

Missouri. And I didn't mean that it always results in criminal charges, just that it would involve CPS involvement and is classified as child abuse and neglect.

Actually, you can. You may have to put them in time out for awhile first, but once they calm down, they are perfectly developmentally capable of listening to reason. Thing is you have to actually be willing to try this without giving up. "Oh well, this is taking too long, I'll just hit them instead."

That is not the case. No one would be arrested for that. Arrests only take place when there are visible marks like bruises, welts, and cuts.

Nope. In most states, you can use open hand, belt, spoon, etc. for what is called "spanking in a reasonable manner." If it leaves marks that last a day, bruising, welts, cuts, or other injuries, then it is abuse.

High five

You can believe whatever your want, but evidence to the contrary is so prolific that even in my child development text books specifically said that spanking is damaging to children and there are zero long-term benefits, only long-term consequences.

I work for the child abuse/neglect hotline in my state, and I can confirm that this is a deeply frustrating waste of time and resources.
