RE: Why Modern Kids & "Adults" Are Intolerant Crybabies
Excellent post and even better points! One of the reasons I pulled my kids out of school and homeschooled. One thing that made me laugh... when you talked about getting sent to your room. One day as I thinking about that, I thought, wait a minute... they got TV, video games, a stereo- how much punishment is this really???
I spanked my kids- as a last resort, when nothing else worked. One of my favorites was making them stand with their nose on the wall for a while- it put some teeth in "time out." I was fortunate, I guess. Four kids, two of each. One son got spanked 4-5 times. The other once. Out of both girls only one got a spanking- 1 time. They all turned out OK, thank God!
Nice. It only took a few smacks on the butt to straighten my son out too. He kept running in front of a city bus that went down our street. First time was the warning in his ear- "if you do this again I'll spank your butt." The second time was the one that got the spanking. As soon as he saw the look in my eyes he knew he went too far. lol But no more running in front of the bus though. Thanks for the comment .
My oldest started spitting on other kids on the school bus... First came the gentle fatherly explanation. Then "The Room" Third time- nose on the wall. Fourth time got him a good wailing on the butt! Followed.
