I've never really laid a hand on my kids. I think they might prefer that over my "discussions". They are some of the best behaved kids in our circle.

You must be doing something right Pike. To be clear, my boy is 22 and only needed a small handfuls of corporal punishment to keep him on the straight and narrow. Some kids are just good kids and don't need that much 'encouragement'. I see others that probably only need one healthy dose of it and they would probably be cured. Just my thoughts anyway

Wife and I went out to supper with one of our sons and his fiancé the other evening.Sat us next to a husband ,wife and three kids.The younger kid,,probly three years old,,was banging his spoon on a plate so hard and loud I thought the plate was gonna break.When he wasn't doing that,,he was screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs.Parents sat talking like nothing was even happening.Waitress came to take our drink order,,and says I will be right back.Manager comes to our table and says its a bit noisy here,,follow me and you will get a new quieter table at the other side of the restaurant.LOL,,Kid didn't need a smack,,,the parents did. mad

I don't disagree with you even if you are a Texan. As a young man growing up I look back and think of all the times I could've used a punch in the face.


With my girls..... I started even when they were babies. Nipped any bad behavior in the bud. Folks thought I was too strict for babies but now we look back and see the fruitage of our ways.

I'm a "mean dad" to the kids and some parents.
I've had enough with the kids and electronics. Got rid of them. They have "dumb" TVs. I don't cater to every demand or pickyness of eating. I don't spoil them hardly cave to their demands, they eat or don't, they have a bed time even in summer.
Mom is the "fun parent" hahaha. My kids will thank me later

If you want to teach your kids or your dog to ignore you, don't expect them to comply the first time you ask them to do something.

Yup! All these parents giving their kids till the count of 5. Nope! This isn't a negotiation, I spoke, you listen. However.. I will give a heads up such as "in x amount of minutes this is happening"

The heads up thing is a good idea and I used that. Another thing we did was use an appeals process. I didn't want to viewed as an ironfisted tyrant so we let the kids give us some additional information on a decision we had made. They would literally ask us if they could appeal a decision. We always let them appeal. Sometimes they won the appeal, sometimes they didn't but it gave them a feeling their input mattered.

Respect and love your kids, they're a precious gift.

Three things to instill in young children from the get-go:
1. It's your house, your rules.
2. You're paying the cost to be the boss
3. . . . and you're a he// of a lot bigger than they are. :-)

I'm going to go against the grain here. I have 5 brothers and sister and we were not spanked. Maybe a pat on the butt to get attention but that was it. All professionals excelling in their fields. All upstanding members of the religious and overall community.

Raised my 3 the same way. My youngest is 18 and we've never even had to deal with a traffic ticket. We were often told how nice and well behaved our kids were/are. Not saying that to brag, I just want to show there is more than one way to do it.

I’d guess the difference would be the electronics today that fill the quality time you spent with your kids and family.

Good point. We had a game console in the living room but even that was done as a family.

Yep and I’ll add. We can be friends when you’re 22 and on your own. I have 4 great God fearing boys. They aren’t perfect but the wife and I have got complaints from age 2 until 20 on how well behaved and polite they are. The devil pads and devil pods are the ruination of the society.

The "trick" is knowing the difference between corporal punishment and discipline :-)
