re: So you are not allowed to whip your kids now?

my problem with people like you is you assume there is only a single right way in the world to do things.

I take no issue with parents who do not spank.

If they have a method that works for them that is within the bounds of reason, then good for them.


Like I said, my neighbors only have 1 kid and appear to be fricking it up royally, but that is their business. If the dude ever asks for advice from me, I will give it to him ... which would be, "The next time your kid tells you to shut up or throws a wild tantrum fit, you need to sit his arse down and explain that the next time he does it, you will spank him, and he will not like it. And then once he inevitably does it, you'd better back up what you said, and then afterwards, explain to him that you want him to be a good person and that his behavior is unacceptable."



I don't see anyone on here defending AD...not one.

I was somewhat skeptical until I saw the photos, but that is crossing the line, IMO.



Raising your kids is your business ... and raising mine is my business.

I'm sure we both use a variety of methods to try and produce solid, productive citizens.



Get this ... I also make my kids dress nicely and go to Mass on Sunday ... and, get this ... they also have to do the Sign of the Cross and say grace before every meal.

Heck ... I even fork out tens of thousand of dollars to send them to Catholic School!

Horrifying, isn't it?
