Ok since I 'cracked' on you about the last post on this subject I'll give you kudos on this one...good post. ![]() Oh and I won't be calling anyone if you discipline your child...now if you're going crazy and abusing them...that's another story all together. ![]() |

Same here. I might discipline my child differently, but unless you're being abusive it's not for me to step in. Now if you're abusing a child in public....watch out!

How many people now-a-days consider that abuse though? Sadly, a lot do. Also sadly...most of the types everyone is bitching about would be those "we don't believe in spanking" parents. So dare I say, society plays a role in creating these types of kids too that know there will be no serious consequence for their actions.

most of you hit the nail on the head: It's not other people's kids that I hate, it's other people's PARENTING.
My parenting isn't perfect - neither are my children. But I'm actively involved in their lives and hold them responsible for their actions (meaning they have appropriate consequences when they do something wrong). I try to make the consequences as close to "real world" as possible. they'll be out in the real world with natural consequences in fewer years than I care to think about. At home they misbehave, they push the limits, they test me (to the BRINK and beyond sometimes). But that's their job. Outside our home they're well mannered, pleasant, conversational (you'd be surprised at the number of teenager who aren't able to hold a conversation these days - one of my biggest pet peeves) and I'm complimented on the manners and behavior by most other parents. I'm proud of that. I wish more parents worked harder at being parents and deprioritized the notion of being friends. And every child's number one lesson should be personal responsibility. anyway...I could go on and on...but I think we're all on teh same page pretty much.

Like so many other hot topics, you can choose not to believe in it - just don't judge me for believing in and doing it.
