Doing this to a child is wrong

[fuckxmas]

BBC report : His said his 14-year-old daughter had not left her bedroom for four days, with meals being left outside her door, until the family learned the result was void on Thursday

This is so wrong to do to a child

I didn’t. I said it was wrong in this case

Where in the article did it state that the child was coerced? I'll give you a clue...it doesn't. The "case" you're arguing is a made-up scenario that you invented, not what was actually written, so how can it be "wrong in this case"?

As a parent I would happily be isolated in my room & have someone prepare food for me that is just left at the door.

As a parent, I would pay someone to let me do this. That isn’t the point. If I didn’t want to, nobody has the right to compel me.

I can’t continue answering this question or I’ll say something rude.

You have misunderstood my use of ‘in this case’. I am referring to the case in point: a situation in which the child is forced to isolate in their room. It is wrong to use your authority as a parent to compel this particular outcome, not all outcomes.

Huge amount of projecting on this thread !

@SchrodingersImmigrant

😂😂 Imagine being imprisoned in the room with that rug😂😂😂

Now that is cruelty 🤣 maybe serve their refreshments in home made items bought from Facebook ‘industries’.

You do not know that the child was forced to isolate in their room...you plucked that out of thin air based on nothing written in the article. The child was told by the school to self-isolate. there is no mention whatsoever of her being told she had to stay in her room or else. For all you know, (as has been said to you many, many times by many, many posters) she may have chosen to isolate in her room.

You will probably now do your usual thing of saying that's not what you said or meant, or calling me silly, cloth eared and all the other insults you have thrown at people when they have pointed out the flaws in your argument. No-body, but nobody on here has said locking a child up for days on end is acceptable, but you repeatedly state, with no evidence to back it up, that that's what has been said.
As you have been on here most of the afternoon can I ask what attention you have given you DC today? Or are they not with you and you are just bored?

You are cloth-eared. I haven’t said there are mentions of those things.

Bungle - you never said what your labs were for this evening?

No, you can’t.

I must stop posting but I have another 20 minutes or so to waste..

I have compelled? Coerced? Forced? Told? my children (now teens) to do many things over the years that they seriously didn't want to do. Why is this situation any different? If anything this puts all the now seemingly trivial stuff that I've coerced them into doing into greater perspective since not doing your homework, chores etc is unlikely to kill someone.

If you have raised a child who won't do something in order to protect others in the family (even if they moan about having to do it) then you have failed to teach them empathy, respect and responsibility.

I childmind a 10yr old. He is totally on board and understanding of the choices we now have to make. He has to have a shower here immediately he gets back from school and change his clothes which I then wash immediately, we are no longer allowed to hug, and we social distance in my house. He doesn't like it, and he doesn't want to do it but he understands and accepts that we must keep each other safe and that if we don't do it he won't be allowed to come here.

She has also posted 34 times today in a topic about a child wearing a coat.

I get it, I got sucked into it last weekend but for your own sanity, stop replying to her.

@slashlover it's because we are all being forced to stay indoors so have nothing better to do

Why is this situation any different?

That’s like saying that because the government can compel you to complete your tax return, it’s fine for them to hold you in arbitrary detention. It’s not. Loss of liberty is a serious thing. If you can’t see why compelling a child to remain in their room for a week isn’t the same as docking their pocket money if they don’t tidy their room, I can’t help you see it. It’s just something that is obvious to most people.

I posted a while back suggesting we all started agreeing with everything she said, just to see what happens.

Still up for it...

Well, anyone who read flavs epic contributions to that mask thread would already know thar instilling empathy, respect and responsibly aren't high on her parenting agenda.

It is a good question.

@Timshortforthalia

Yeh. You're right. Soz.

Instilling those things by covering the mouths and noses of 2 year olds can be your thing. I am very happy it isn’t mine.

What telly what snacks?

. Loss of liberty is a serious thing

No shit!? Given that I've only left the house half a dozen times since March I can confirm that on that particular point you are absolutely right

So, as true as it is that they can do exercise in their room, it’s also not the case that we could all just stay in our rooms permanently and not expect to see a decline in health and mental condition. There is a cost.

😂😂😂

Now kids are having to stay in their rooms permanently.

As I said them goalposts are almost down the other end of the field they've been shifted that much.

Lots of teens I know do TIk Tok exercise videos, a lot more fun than prison exercise for them.

@Aragog good shout on the wii. I'm going to pull ours out of storage for when I confine the kids to their rooms.

Because she's the funniest person on the thread....and I need a good laugh at the moment.
