disciplining

Quote From: stephudsl

This one is driving me crazy!  ALthough I don't have children, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that children are FAR LESS disciplined today than they were 25 years ago when I was young! I get SOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK of going to a restaurant, Target, etc. and hearing screaming children (and I don't mean babies, I mean 5, 6, 7year olds)! And parents just look at their children like "Now, hush."  

  

My mom would have drug me out of the store, to the car, given me a spanking, and then we would have went back in to shop.  And no, not every child that was spanked turns out to be evil.  I am well-educated and intend to spank my own children when necessary.   

This is in reply to the woman who had three children and was asked to leave church because of disruption. 

  

I have five children, the last two being twins.  I have always been able to take my children to church, to restaurants, to shows, etc.  One look from their father or me and they knew that they were doing something wrong.  I never had to spank, although a couple of times I did use a soap mouth wash.  That happened only once for anyone of them.  They learned that they were expected to behave and not use foul language (that was the soap, and then only for the most foul.)
