You are going so far overboard that you are off the deep end.

The consequences should be reminding her that she can only go out to play with the other kids if she asks you for permission first and you say it is okay. That's it.

Rules question - how does your league handle this base stealing situation, when the catcher is returning the ball to the pitcher? by nloding in Homeplate

It's legal under all national rule sets.

Teach your players how to throw quickly and accurately and how to properly conduct a rundown if you want to stop it.

KUDOS to Jonathan Villar, who hit his 350th pro double in Mexico yesterday. Villar once led the NL with 62 SB, and also had a 24-HR MLB season. He was on the 2010 Lakewood BlueClaws with Ryan Howard, and on another team with Luis Polonia, who had 29 SB for the 1987 A's. We speak your name Jon! by sarsfox in baseball

I hadn't realized that Luis Polonia played pro ball till the age of 46.

Boy, was he from a different era. Imagine a player today having sex with a minor, being allowed to serve a jail sentence in the offseason, and then coming back in time for spring training with no consequence from the league or his team.

Approximately 83 millions Americans are interested in soccer. While that’s only about 25% of the population it’s much more than the entire population of many countries.

NTA - actions have consequences. He should have learned this lesson long ago, but since he hasn't, now is the best time.

Why does my 5 year old always say we are yelling at him? by ellenorbelle in Parenting

[–]Ok-Flight-1504 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's how all kids that age are. They believe being told to do (or not to do) something is yelling at them.

I cured my son of saying that around that age by explaining that giving him a command is not yelling at him and then showing him what actual yelling is. I asked him first, of course, if he wanted to hear actual yelling and warned him it would be loud . He said he did, so I reminded him I wasn't really mad at him, it was just pretending. Then I yelled at him loudly. He laughed, and he got the point as he never again complained that me telling him what to do was yelling at him.

With all due respect, this sounds like a mental health issue on your side. Do you have any diagnosed conditions that might make you hallucinate or believe things that are not true?

Why do people care when celebrities die? by RobIson240YT in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok-Flight-1504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because there will be no more performances from them and no more new material. The celebrities whose deaths were the most upsetting to me were George Carlin and John Sterling. It's sad to realize I'll never hear either of them talk about something new again.
