I was reading the parenting styles thread, and everyone saying what they do, why they do it, what they hope to achieve and such.
But, what have been your 'terrible' parenting moments? Not so much things that have gone horribly wrong, rather, silly spur of the moment type punishments/explanations that just went pear shaped.
My 'favourite' awful parenting memory comes from when Dita and Azriel were little and we were at the beach, Azriel kept throwing seaweed at Dita and making her cry, I was pregnant with Sunny and really not in the mood for dealing with him, and Ash was off looking for some kind of bird, I dont know what he was doing, so I told Azriel to go and sit in a cardboard box that was just sitting on the beach, and told him that he couldnt leave the box until I said so. Only I forgot he was in there and two hours later Ash came back and said "Why is Azriel just sitting in a box looking sad?" Oops.
Even now, when Azriel is being a pain, we tell him to "go sit in the box" which the younger kids dont understand, and just stare at Ash, Dita and I like were a bunch of loonies.
