Clarence is undermining his wife’s discipline by doing that. As a teacher I’m frequently in a similar situation. I impose discipline on the student in my classroom, but then a parent like Clarence undermines my discipline by rewarding the child for drawing my discipline, and the next day I have to impose discipline upon the spoiled brat again. It becomes very tiresome very fast. And some people wonder why teachers “get three months off.” Honestly we don’t but if we really did, we’d deserve it.
