Why is Daz telling me I can save money if I punch little kids?

I mean it's Christmas time, so I support the premise and all, but it just seems out of character.
Oh well, off to the playground to get me some coupons!

Be careful in the playground. DAZ may mean go get punched by kids. Since they tend to be rather height challenged, you might want to wear athletic support or really thick pants.
Spirit of the Krampus!
Once you under house arrest you will not be able to participate in most other activities, nor waste money on petrol (Gas) for unneeded trips, leaving you with much more money to spend in the Daz store.
In the words of the great W.C. Fields, "I love children ... parboiled."
No, no...you don't punch them...you marinate them IN punch...then you parboil 'em.
we sooooooooooooooo need Krampus in Australia
School holidays next week, I aint leaving my house
grumpy pants :)
HA HA!!!
Anything to save a buck!
ahhh, that is really cunning but smart LOL
I like a good christmas punch
with some high-proof liquor 
Leash law for children, then maybe I wouldn't feel the need to punch their parents.
Does that include muzzles? Grocery shopping: the little... ahem... tyke is quite secure in the cart. However, her/his lungs and vocal chords are far too free for his/her own survival. No gender discrimination intended, but the female of the ... tyke... species seems to have a greater range, volume, and a devastating reverb.
An Ebenezer Christmas present. :)
After seeing some of the tantrums I've seen in stores, I have felt like punching both the parents and the kids. I was always very greatful that non of my boys did that in public after the first time or two. We had a rule when out in public, if you had a tantrum, we went home. I don't care where we were going or what we were planning on doing, my boys knew I meant business about just going home. I've even pulled over to the side of the road when they got crazy in the car and just sat there until things calmed down. I refuse to drive when they were distracting me. Granted, the boys usually settled quicker when we were going some place they wanted to go. I think the longest I sat pulled over was 20 minutes on maybe the second or third time I did that to them. I never had any problems after that. If I even threatened to pull over, they settled down. I think if more parents were willing to do those types of things, I wouldn't have such a headaches from listening to the tantrums while shopping.
I forget where I got that advice, but it was the best parenting advice I ever got and saved me a lot of trouble with my boys. Now, if I can just survive them being teens, I'll be a happy mommy.
I had one of those child leashes (the cute ones that looked like an animal on their back) back when they weren't that popular. I got some really strange looks, but it helped keep the toddlers from wandering off without me. Now, everyone seems to have one on their kids.
Amen!
Dare I agree ahha!
Some mommy got real mad at me for saving her boy's life ... while I was screaming NO as loud and demanding and forceful as I could [have large choir practice volume] at her child but also intended for the large GSD which I walking as the kid flew off a sofa in a lounge many feet away from us to 'suddenly' be in the dog's face ... he was wearing "mittens and a snowsuit" and was preteen [as in 9 or 10 and should have been better trained himself to know better than to attack a service dog]. NEVER pet a dog without asking first! And NEVER jump into their head space ... big or little that is their space and they will "explain it" to the offender.
Dogs are carnivours; kids are just the right size for a pack of dogs, so yeh, kids need to be taught about treating them with respect.
Hmm, yeah, good way to get bit. Service dogs are very well trained, but having someone suddenly jump into your territory and be in your face while you are working can set even the best trained service dog off and I wouldn't blame him one bit. Unfortunately, I've seen some adults have no clue when it comes to service dogs out in the public. I always talk to the owner first as sometimes even when out in public the dogs get some downtime when they can interact with the public. A lot of service dog owners consider it good PR. However, if I'm given the message that, no, they are working, I have no problem walking away without interacting with the dog. I know that they have a job to do and, even if I want to pet him, his job comes first. Some people just don't get it.
Shoot when my kids were little I made harnesses for the older 2 and leashes that connected to my belt ,just didn't have enough hands to keep hold of the 3 of them at one time and wasn't willing to let them run wild either. I got looks and told off by one woman,who felt I was mistreating them by restraining them .I asked if she had kids ,when she said no I told her to go have a couple and then she could tell me how to deal with mine .... .. she taught me some new and interesting phrases .......
That being said as a grandmother now I threaten my younger grand children with duct tape on a fairly regular bases .......and there are a few adults who might benifit from being duct taped into a corner too.
Ahh...but I bet none of them actually have gone and grabbed the roll of duct tape and brought it to you?
Don't ask...but when he was 3 he took his bike down a 1/4 mile driveway and was riding in the church parking lot across the road. When told he wasn't to do that by himself...his reply "I wasn't by myself, I had the dogs with me." And the Christmas before his 3rd birthday, he was caught flipping the batteries around in a singing snowman...I put them in backwards, on purpose.
It's no wonder I have grey hair...
They don't have to go get it cause I know where I put it
rofl...as someone who teaches small children I can only say what a funny thread. I wish more parents knew how to say no to their children we see a lot of behaviours due to this.
To some folk, even when out walking normal dogs I've had over the years, I'd explain it this way ... if you see a unknown person come running at you ... not knowing that person let alone what the intentions are, how would they react? Could be they want to kiss you, could be they want to mug you. No time to think, well neither does the dog. And they might be just as tired and cranky as any ol' human gets. Even if one is scared of dogs, best to not stare at the dog [an act of hostility on person's part] and say "Hi" to the owner. Friends of owner say "hi" to owner, and then that's maybe an okay person depending upon owner's reaction of course.
As to PR, yes and no ... depends also on the breed of dog being used; some are by nature very out-going family/people friendly, some are "one person dogs". It is a great honour IF an adult GSD decides you are a friend. Very loyal companions. They have a good instinct though ... one of mine could tell me of a "GSD person" [aka friend although we'd never met] from 1/4 mile away. I took mine a few times to a very full of children museum so she see and hear what they are ... most dogs kind a figure out that children need to be avoided lol ... and this little baby toddler came over [honestly WHAT are parents thinking] ... I was sitting such that yes I can hold my dog but I can't stop baby toddler [that's mommy's job anyway] and she just stood there watching and the little one [oh my dog was curious, a baby!] stuck her finger in her nose! hehehe ... then she thought she'd try poking the dog in the eye thankfully the stupid mother finally figured out maybe she should come and get her baby. When older children whom she saw coming but still, actually like ran into her or close enough to reach over and touch her, she'd just turn her head and look at them. Must have been quite the look, they'd pull back and go away lol ...
That is a good way of describing it. I'll have to remember that the next time I'm out walking my dogs. I have one who is usually pretty good with most people. The other one is skittish around all strangers when she first meets them. She was attacked by another dog while in puppy training class so she is usually already nervous on walks because she is always looking out for strange dogs so she can run in the other direction.
As to the breed of dog being used, Yes, I would agree. That is also why I always talk to the handler first. Not only is it common curtesy toward both handler and dog, the handler is the one who is interacting with the service dog on a daily basis and knows how the dog interacts with the public. If a handler were to tell me interacting with their dog is a bad idea, I don't get offended or take it as a rejection. I understand the dynamics and respect his or her understanding of there dog. Unfortunately, a lot of people tend to get upset about those types of things.
As to the toddler you encountered, I shudder to think what that mother allows her toddler to get away with. Since I've interacted with service dogs before I had kids, I wanted to make sure my kids knew how to properly respect bounderies when it came to all dogs and, but especially with service dogs. At one point, my kids and I even did some research about them to see if we would be a good fit to raise and socialize a puppy. At the time we weren't a good fit. At some point in the future, we may have to reconsider and possibly volunteer in the future now that my boys are older and can understand that this wouldn't be our puppy and we would have to give it up once it reached the right age for additional training.
I have nothing but respect for anyone who has to deal with other peoples kids now days. I have been know to warn potential friends if you do not control your kids I will treat them as my own ,I do believe in spanking, I do not believe in abuse and there is a MAJOR difference between the two. I do not feel quilty about it at all .I personally think that all the parents that don't want their children punished need to have that child attached to them 24 hours a day,and the parents that believe it is others ,babysitters caregivers,teachers,nannies ,responsibility to teach children manners ,should not have children .Teachers should have the power to disipline parents as well as the kids ........put some healthy fear/respect back into kids .......
excuse me now while I get off my soap box .......
If I got a spank I needed it, biting my baby brother, crawling to fire etc
it is not abuse and never tramatised me or anyone else I knew
abusers lash out in anger not as discipline to train
this is why I am staying home next week, kids running amok at mall in shop playing with the goods on shelves, running into me etc while parents are oblivious, or you get the ones that just scream at them and OMG do not growl at their little dear for knocking your cake out of your hand or slamming their car door into your panel, the mother lion turns on you like she is gonna maul you to death.
Yeah I got screamed at once by a father who left a toddler in a grocery cart while putting groceries in the car ,and between his grabbing bags out and not paying attention and the toddler trying to stand up in the seat the cart started rolling ,I happened to see it and managed to grab both the cart and the kid as the kid was taking a header out of the cart and the cart was rolling off the sidewalk ,stopped the cart,put the kid back in the seat and dad comes around and starts going off on me about touching his kid ,lucky for me another woman had seen what happened and lit into him . ......never did get a thank you outta him though .
