    I believe “Plan B” is what you were supposed to have used 14 years & 9 months ago.

    Like the twist. And sometimes, if you intercede, the parent may resort to even harsher measures against the kid, just to show you “who’s boss.” It makes it very hard to know what to do.

    I’ve seen kids who behaved badly and when their parents tried to lightly correct it or scold them about it, it didn’t work and they only got worse. So I do sort of understand if parents do this because I’ve seen the opposite fail badly. Of course cursing at them is wrong, but when it comes to spanking I don’t think there’s an easy answer one way or another.

    I was in a convenience store and I heard a man verbally abusing his young son, telling him he was stupid and worthless. I looked at the man and said, “I hope you expect that kid to take care of you in your old age.”

    My wife and I have raised 2 daughters, and not once did we find it necessary to resort to corporal punishment. I am very proud of how they both turned out, and consider myself a better person for their being in my life.

    It’s really about establishing respect. I grew up in a home with a modern lecturing mother and an old-fashioned spanking grandma. Since they both taught me to respect my elders and behave, I never wanted a spanking or a lecture.
