Adventures in family woodworking
Yesterday my daughter (age 6) threw a two hour tantrum over doll clothing,
so I decided that it was time to drag her ass out to the woodshop and expand her horizons beyond dolls and unicorns. I figured we'd build a ****ing bird house. I'd do all the dangerous stuff, and she would do lame **** like apply glue and paint. We went out there, and the grumpy little bitch didn't want to do anything so she sat on the floor and refused to budge. So I grabbed her ****ing dolly and threatened to saw its head off; that got the little **** moving. All she would do is stand there, with her arms crossed and pouting. But I figured that was the best I could expect from her, so I got started on the damn bird house. I made her watch everything. Then I made her put glue on the edges of some of the pieces, which went about as well as expected -- complaining, whining, and a big mess. A few hours later, the bird house glued and clamped, we left the shop. My daughter ran straight to her bedroom and slammed the door shut. Yeesh. I sure hope that little brat grows a spectacular set of knockers when she hits puberty, because it looks to me like sluttiness is going to be her only hope of contributing anything AT ALL to society. To hell with woodworking; in a few years, her slag mother can start imparting some of HER vast knowledge of banging guys in exchange for shallow flattery. BTW, has anybody got blueprints for a paddle? |

I blame it on her mom. |

Dave in Fairfax Interesting that you think teaching a child how to build a bird house is abusive. You must have had a traumatic experience with a table saw when you were a lad. |

I read through most of this expecting a punchline. I don't suppose the
crosspost to 'fam.woodworking' is a clue to his true motive. In any case this guy is a piece of work. RonB |

Hello,
Language was a little bit abusive, even for someone just venting out and being ****ed off, but I had a good laugh :-) cyrille "John" wrote in message . ..

I can not quite pin point it but I see you as one or several of the
following. 1. You are a troll. 2. Generally your child will act just like you. 3. You are an ungrateful SOB and God let you have children despite your personality. 4. You have had 6 years to raise and learn to hate your daughter. I could go on but you probably already realize what you really are. With a lot of hard work you may change for the better.

Do'nt you guys recognize a troll when you see one? What does that say about your own levels of childraising? Bjarte |

Bjarte I thought it WAS a great parody, in the spirit of Swift's "A modest proposal", and got quite a laugh out of it. Shucks, considering some of the joyous moments I see with my sister's kids, I thought it was understated at times. Especially the stubborn poutiness of the girl *smile*. Regards Dave Mundt |
