I have no idea why discipline is considered "abuse" nowadays, to tell you the truth. I mean, how many of you really think that paddling a kid's bottom is going to screw them up for life...? And I don't mean, beating the living shit out of a kid....I mean showing them that the parent is boss, not the child...showing them what is acceptable, what will be tolerated, and what won't.

Some kids, a word is all it takes. Others push their limits. Why should parents be forced to let the kids take over? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of raising your kids right?

(maybe this should be in the parenthood thread...lol)

it's the utopians.
