I am sure we all noticed that Popa believes that poor parenting is the cause of many issues later on in life, so I thought we could have a thread for Popa to tell us all how to be perfect parents.
Father’s day was yesterday, but better late then never, to commence good parenting.
Popa, how often do you beat your kids?
Popa, how often do you beat your kids?
Just once. I’m good at it.
you always let them win the games? chess and bowling too?
What do you use?
how OFTEN? sir
How does one beet kids? I know on Purim you can pickle them.
A well known child psychologist said he had 3 solid theories on how to bring up kids. Now he has gotten married and says he has 3 kids and no theories
Buy her bigger clothes.
The parents should themselves eat healthier and exercise more. But, only the wife is allowed to tell the husband this and not vice versa.

Poe’s Law is an internet adage reflecting the fact that without a clear indication of the author’s intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere extremism and an exaggerated parody of extremism. -Wikipedia
I think what we have here is “Popa’s Law,” an adage reflecting the fact that without a clear indication of the author’s intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere decency and an exaggerated parody of decency.
lol @ Schticky! lol
When Popa’s wife got fat, he bought her bigger clothes. When Nechoma got even fatter, he bought her even bigger clothes.
Then she continued to get fatter so he had to buy her a new house with bigger doorways and more space between the counter and the fridge.
Eventually she didn’t fit in the car anymore so he bought her an elephant to ride to work every day.
Popa and Nechama each take up 3 seats and part of the aisle on a plane. They ride their elephants to the truck weighing station when they want to weight themselves.
Somehow I can’t see Popa with a fat wife, especially after all of the comments he makes about dating fat girls
Actually, I’ve had two already.
42 – Are those comments really necessary? Even as jokes? Maybe it’s not so funny to those reading or those you’re poking fun at.
Nechomah: I find them necessary. 😛
come on everyone, get into it!
🙂 BUMP 🙂

lol yitay
Parents are to blame for many people’s problems. Kids who grow up without a mother or father, or whose parents have a miserable marriage generally grow up to model these same dysfunctional behaviors.
It amazed me, for instance, how a young woman who lived in a rather affluent suburb, with frum family considered pillars of the community, with a father who made a high salary, still grew up to lack morals, stability, and mental health.
If parents are to blame then isn’t it better to grow up without them?
“Kids who grow up without a mother or father, or whose parents have a miserable marriage generally grow up to model these same dysfunctional behaviors.”
Being a widow is a “dysfunctional behavior”?
When it comes to shidduchim, orphans are considered damaged goods.
Is that really true? Hashem help us if it is. I am fortunate that it was not an issue for me.
Not per se. In fact, maybe many kids are better off with one widowed parent than 2 parents who hate each other’s kishkes.
But, research does show that children raised by 2 parents who are stable and committed in their marriage do have better outcomes than those who don’t. A certain Lubavitch celebrity rabbi to the stars is often quoted as saying that “the best gift 2 parents can give their kids is to love each other.”
In my experience, just about everyone I’ve known from a broken home, or a situation where there was no shalom bayit, has turned out to be affected adversely or to have mental or emotional disturbances of some sort, whether it be a diagnosed illness, selfishness/narcissism, or other personality and character defects.
happy bump night!
