lying at that age seems to be a phase that most kids go through. I went rounds and rounds with one of my kids with that one. We went over and over scripture verses about lying is sin. Lying is rebellion, rebellion is like witchcraft...........abomination.......expalining all of it. We spanked her so much that I felt like I hated for her to come home from school.
[...]
One day I had reached the end of my rope and I had explained liars went to hell because of their rebellion and sin against God's rules. It didn't phase littleP too much, so I said, "OKAY, you are so anxious to experience hell fire which is hotter than any fire on earth, here taste a little bit of hell fire." I then gave littleP some tabassco sauce on her tongue and wonder of wonders, she stopped lying.

And which lesson did she learn from the experience?
(a) I shouldn't lie.
(b) my father is an abusive asshole, and I'd better do what he says until I'm old enough to get the hell out of here or put a bullet in him, whichever comes first.
Ok, that's not so bad, it's not good, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it abuse. Was anyone else wincing while reading it thinking that he would literally burn her with a lighter or something?
the good nes for Mrshgnlseth or whatever is:
GOOD NEWS, you will be elated to know that you won't have to worry about your daughter after she turns 18 because you will never see or hear from her again.
Given how much you obviously hate her, I know you will be thrilled.
Personally, the one that worked on me is when I learned that when you lie, people tend to stop believing you. Believe it or not, a child still has a certain sense of honor, and when they feel it's threatened, they tend to try to remedy it. Does a lot more good than child abuse, anyways.
"We spanked her so much that I felt like I hated for her to come home from school."
What kind of lies was she bringing back from school? Evolution? Gravity? Heliocentricity?
Sheesh, when I lied, my mother just said, "Okay. I'm not trusting you anymore." And no trust is BAAAAD.
Hell is no hotter than Tabasco?
Well, that's a relief. Relatively speaking, Tabasco is pretty mild.
I hope it's chipotle-flavored hell!
Gee, if he had been the father of Kent Hovind, maybe ol' Kent would have a numb tongue, but he wouldn't be in jail.
Pssst, Mrsppmrxky, the word is "faze."
As in, "It didn't FAZE littleP too much".
"Phase" is something the moon, your A.C. electrical wiring, and your teenage daughters go through.
Fuck, that wouldn't have worked for me. Loved the stuff.
That and black pepper... but I actually started trying that out after wondering why that king in DQ3 would want to give you a ship in exchange for a bag of the stuff...
brutality for god,
And they think themmselves good parents by using asinine verses and violence rather than actually explaining why one shouldn't lie
I too thought they were burning the kid...
I don't think she stoped lying, I think she's about to stop talking alltogether and one day she'll stand next to your bed with a butcher knife .... Maybe she will become a crack whore, I can hear you whining already "... oh, I raised her the best ways of christ and the bible...these children these days, no respect, it's because of all the gay stuff they learn..." Blah blah blah, it's because you are an abusive parent!
Lying is like any other sin and is not particularly powerful. And just for consistency, if the social services take you to jail, don't complain, after all, why shouldn't God chastise you through them?
Ok, neither a quick google nor a simple profile check dug up anything on this username. She does however has a gluten allergy, is active on a variety of forums and very carefull about her location. Perhaps somebody knows what "soupbowl" means as a location in America
This sadly was and probably is child abuse.
Whatever happened to parents telling kids the story about the Boy Who Cried Wolf?!? Jesus the Jew, that sure made a point as well as helping me go to sleep when I was a lad. My dad would sit on the edge of the bed, add his comical twist to the story, and before I knew it, I was laughing and learning right before my eyelids became too heavy and I nodded off.
That was one of my fondest memories of my late father. He imparted his wisdom not through senseless brutality (though I did receive a spanking when I did run into my scraps) but through lessons about why one should be a moral person.
"I had explained liars went to hell [...] so I said, "OKAY, you are so anxious to experience hell fire which is hotter than any fire on earth, here taste a little bit of hell fire." I then gave littleP some tabassco sauce on her tongue"
(Wait, you said you were giving her a taste of hell file, but you actually gave her a taste of Tabasco sauce.)
Now see, that's called 'lying', so in fact Mrsppmrxky is (a) a hypocrit, (b) teaching her that lying is okay really , as long as it's for a good cause.
Looks like the wrong person was given the Tabasco to me.
See, my daughter was taught that lying caused people to not believe what one says, even if it's the truth. It worked.
I think Mrsppmrxky should be forced to eat a bushel of whole, raw habaneros for lying to and psychologically abusing her daughter.
Just my 2 cents.
You have learned:
Parenting Technique: Thought Supression
YAY!
Your child will now be able to hide their thoughts effectively from now, allowing them to grow up into an angsty, secretive teenager who does drugs behind you back.
Hope I don't meat you, Mrsppmrxky. If I ever do, and I see you treating your child that way, I'm going to beat the ever-loving fuck out of you. And smile while I do it.
Child abusing fuck.
Soooo... maybe you should have tried the Tabasco sauce first ? A little hot sauce is way less destructive than regular spankings, and the pain goes away with a glass of milk. Spankings, on the other hand, will get you a child who hates you.
Nope, even reading it through again, I can't get past the fact that she lied to her daughter to get her to stop lying! What's more, she did it because lying is such an abominable sin?!
Fucking hell! I hope little miss ppmmrxky never turns out to be gay or 'mommy dearest' will probably be waiting behind the door each evening with a monster strap-on!
So did she stop lying, or did she just become a better liar to keep you from hitting her? Let me put this another way, does she respect you now or fear you?
You really don't care, do you?
Fuck you.
I usually try to be more eloquent and insightful about things, but this is an ugly, sickening snapshot of an ugly, sickening series of decisions made by an ugly, sickening person.
You harm your own creation with no thought for her feelings or her well-being, but purely to bend, twist, and break her to fit the mold you've picked out for her.
I don't care what you think. I don't care what your parents did. I just want you to have never existed, so that your daughter would have been spared your vile, rabid brutality masquerading as "childrearing techniques".
But you do exist, and now a young girl is going to bear the scars of your abuse for the rest of her life, whether it's in the form of painful memories and burned bridges (if she's lucky) or sacrificing her soul to the demiurge you worship because "it's what Daddy said to do, and I trust him!" (if she isn't lucky).
Just because YOU believe in this extremist caricature of Christianity doesn't give you the right to bring harm to others.
Confused?
