The reluctant Packers fan

A 36 year old man in Pardeeville,Wisconsin,has been charged with disorderly conduct and his wife has slapped a restraining order on him after he taped his 7 year old boy to a chair,and taped a Packers jersey to the kid.He got angry at his son for not wanting to sport a Packers jersey after they defeated Seattle last week and lost his cool.His wife took pictures of the kid on her cell phone and two days later filed the complaint with the police department,who cited there are "other domestic issues" that warranted a restraining order keeping him from his family.You think?How much will this poor kid HATE football from now on?And how much did Dad drink that day?Most 7 year old boys don't "appreciate" pro football as much as the normal 7 year old kid things-like videogames,tv shows and just playing like kids do.They would rather play ball than watch someone play ball at that stage!I do not fault the mother because she did report him,but why did she wait two whole days?I would part my husbands hair with a skillet if he ever taped our kid up for ANY reason,and if he abused her I understand her being hesitant to speak up about it but myself,I would not be so demure.Jail isn't going to teach the guy anything and if he is locked up he cannot support his family but he does need extensive counseling and some parenting classes-it sounds like a bad joke but when you put yourself in the place of a kid that young,you know it must be terrifying to them!

Yup, that is just plain wrong.

Gotta take a test to drive but not to be a parent.
