RUSH: Look who\u2019s been waiting: Jen from Roanoke, Virginia. She was with us yesterday, but Snerdley — the official program observer and call screener — said there wasn\u2019t enough time by the time we got to her for her to properly articulate what she wanted to say. So we got her back on the phone. Hello, Jen. I\u2019m glad you let us get back to you.<\/line>CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/line>RUSH: You bet.<\/line>CALLER: I wanted to thank you for taking the issue of timeout head-on yesterday, because most parents know it\u2019s a fraud, and the word “discipline” means to study or learn — and, honestly, most parents are just not committed enough to their kids to be the teacher in their lives.<\/line>RUSH: What she\u2019s talking about, folks — if you missed this yesterday<\/a>, it\u2019s too bad, but — there was a story<\/a>, a survey that most parents in America think that the discipline that they\u2019re using on their kids is not working, it\u2019s not effective. <\/line> ?Well, what are you doing?? <\/line> ?We?re using timeouts.?<\/line>CALLER: Right.<\/line>RUSH: And I, not being a parent, didn\u2019t know what that actually was. I can imagine a timeout to me, ?Just stop it! Stop!? But it\u2019s more than that. You get sent away; you have your gadgets and your toys taken away from you for every minute that you\u2019ve been alive for every year. So if you\u2019re 13, you get time-out for 13 minutes. Now, is this being done in school, or is this being done at home where you\u2019re talking about?<\/line>CALLER: Well, I\u2019m talking about even at home, it is a fraud, and I just cannot believe that intelligent people are saying, ?The best I have to offer you as a parent is a corner and a chair.? It just riled me. I was in the car driving.<\/line>RUSH: Come on, Jen! Don\u2019t you understand? With the economy the way it is, we\u2019ve got two-parent families out there; most of them can\u2019t afford two nannies.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, exactly.<\/line>RUSH: They both work and they need their private time to stay sane.<\/line>CALLER: Well, feminism has taught us that disciplining our children is not a worthy task.<\/line>RUSH: No, it\u2019s predatory.<\/line>CALLER: Also it has taken away the hierarchy of our family. To think that I, as a parent, have something to say to my kids that could change him and give him vision and hope for the future is just ridiculous in the liberal way of thinking. <\/line>RUSH: Yeah, it is, because what right do you have to impose your vision of the future on the child?<\/line>CALLER: Well, we are definitely not a timeout family, and I want to thank you for exposing it as the fraud that it is. It\u2019s just simply an easy way of dealing with children that get in your way.<\/line> RUSH: Exactly. Most of the problems with parenting today probably is — look, I don\u2019t do this. I\u2019ve witnessed a bunch of bad parents, though, and I\u2019ve seen good ones. I\u2019ve talked about some of the greatest parents that I\u2019ve ever seen in the course of this program when I started. I\u2019ll tell you something: not one of them did timeouts. Whenever being involved with the kid is an interruption in your life, you\u2019re going to make wrong decisions. If kids interrupt your life, don\u2019t have any. It\u2019s just that simple. There you need some discipline. How many people do you think have kids just because it\u2019s the next thing to do in the stage of relationships? <\/line>You get together; you have the first meeting. You fall into whatever infatuation. You can\u2019t take your hands off each other. You\u2019re going nuts and crazy. A year of that, if that, they get engaged and crazy — and by the time they get married, ?Why am I doing this?”<\/line>“Oh, we need a kid!? <\/line> It\u2019s just the next thing that happens. No, no, really. I may be going over the top here in synthesizing the various stages of relationship, but I think most of you people listening will agree that I know what I\u2019m talking about. It?s how they happen. There are exceptions to this, the good ones. But that\u2019s basically how it happens. At some point the next thing to do is have a kid, and what determines it? Well, work, biological time bomb in the wife, any number of factors. The, “Gee, I think we should” syndrome or “Gee, you know, mom really wants to be a grandmom. <\/line>Grandpa doesn\u2019t care about being a grandpa, but grandma really wants to be,? or, ?I have got to maintain this family bloodline,? or what have you. Don\u2019t misunderstand. There are people out there who genuinely love kids and want to have them. That\u2019s the reason they got married. That\u2019s fine, but I\u2019m saying there\u2019s some people that they just do it because it\u2019s — hell, how many of them were accidents? There\u2019s no school you can go to to learn how to be a parent. That\u2019s why you learn it from your own parents, which is why they\u2019re so much of a mess now, because baby boomers are not the best. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
