My sister put ALLL OF MY FISH FOOD IN MY BETTAS BOWL!!

My wife works for the state. She is a family's last hope to keep their children before the state takes them away. Some of the stories she tells me make me wonder about the future of humanity.

they need to loosen the laws a bit and stop the lawsuits and all of the other stuff that makes people afraid to "parent" these days. When I was a kid and bad I was spanked, spank a kid now, get thrown in jail for child abuse. It really is a sad state of affairs.

When I say spank I mean layed over my mom or dads knee and bottom paddled a bit, not beaten. I do not advocate hitting children, but discipline and spankings surely have their place.

I agree.

Yes, I think it should be that way too, sadly. Disipline these days just aren't acceptable. I'm not saying to abuse your kids, but you gotta know when to put your foot down.

I'm thankful my sister only likes to make funny faces at my fish xD; She used to like having these battles with Shota where she would puff up her cheeks and Shota would flare at her XD

LOL!

No what's really bad is when the kids know that if there's a mark, they can get their parents in trouble. My sister used to say "Oh yeah, go ahead and hit me. Leave a mark and I'll call the cops" OMG. I think parents should be able to hit their kids. It's okay if there's a mark, just not a bruise. I can see kids being punished, just not to the point where their bruised and bleeding all over.

I agree Neenjar.

I still can't believe kids do that!

Both of mine will eat anything that falls in the tank, algae wafers included. They are by far the least picky betta's I have ever owned.

Well that sucks for you. But your fish will be okay since he only ate one. I know how siblings are, becuase my damn brother kept on shaking my fishtank and scaring my betta, but you should move the bowl in your room, and maybe avoid getting your sis mad at you

I'm glad my fish are upstairs. People, even adults sometimes will tap on the glass and it upsets the fish.
