Well, I agree with all that's been said about teaching kids to behave and expecting good behavior.

That being said, my one-time downstairs neighbor had an experience that was enlightening.  She took her 2 yr old daughter to the grocery store where she started misbehaving (not the kid's normal character but just in a bad mood).  The mother scolded the child to behave, no difference.  She put on the mean mommy face and shook her finger, no difference.  She finally reached around and spanked the child. whack! whack!

Parents know that sometimes not even that will work - the child continued to be a pain, crying and yelling.  So the mother took the child by the arm and left.

Unbeknownst to her, other patrons saw this horrible behavior of the mother and promptly called Child Services.  These guys threatened to take away her child and grilled her and the father over serveral days.

So the next time you see a parent being neglectful of teaching a child expected social behavior, keep in mind that even though you'd like to see some discipline there are others who'd just as readily take the child away from the parents that do.

My personal opinion is that kid doesn't go out until he/she can behave on verbal commands alone.

 LOL the people who complained prolly had terrible children. I have heard cases like that as well. It shocks me that spanking a kid in public is considered abuse.

It's a load of crappy. Though the women could have avoided it by spaking the kid in the car.

Still Big brother is getting to big for its britches.

Damn libs, its OK to murder a baby before it is born but not OK to spank it after?????

This wouldn't be an issue if this were Ancient Sparta.

Ever see that southpark episode in which everyone has ADD?


I loved the scientist and his experiment with 4 kids.


3 Kids are sitting in their desks bouncing all around, screaming.

Scientist walks up to the first kid.  *Smacks him hard* Sit down and study!

Walks up to the second kid.  *Smacks her hard*  Sit down and study.  Girl starts crying.  *Smacks her again* Stop crying!  Girl stops.

Walks up to third kid.  Holds his hand out about to smack him.  The kid shuts up.

A loving hand on the seat of his diaper will do the trick:aok

I agree with sandman. I have had a conversation with all of my kids that ran something like..

"I ain't your pal or your buddy, I am your parent. My job is to make sure you grow up to be good people. A bonus for you is that I love you at the same time."

couldnt agree with you more MT  At first my wife allways had the attitude with her daughter that she allways wanted to be her best friend and be somone she can allways talk to.  That....DIDNT WORK....she's almost 5 now and and she's realized parent first friend second.  

We also switch off playing good cop bad cop every now and then and that seems to work.  

I guess what I"m saying is I want my kids to grow up knowing right from wrong....but when they do wrong I want them to be able to talk to us about it.  I know that cant allways happend.  



about the resturaunt,  We went somwere with family to a nice place once with my then 18 month son.  He started getting restless and wanted to get down and run around.  Me and my wife took turns taking him outside while he cried.  No spanking was nescesary cause we didnt give him the chance to mis-behave, but no one elses dinner was ruined either.

Little Johnny was a holy terror in school.  Drove his teacher to distraction.  Eventually the poor woman had a nervous breakdown.

The next day, a new substitute teacher greeted the children as they entered the classroom.  A big, muscle-bound, hairy-chested, amazon of a substitute.

As she began to give instructions to prepare the students for class, little Johnny turned to one of his fellow classmates and remarked that the sub was "One big, ugly, loud-mouthed b----!"

Without saying a word, the substitute strode to his desk and slapped the spit out of his mouth.  Little Johnny was stunned and speechless.

A few minutes later, the sub began her lesson:

"Now class..." she said, "...in today's lesson we are going to practice using the word 'evidently' in a sentence in order to demonstrate it's proper use.  Now, who would like to go first?"

Little Johnny raised his hand.

"Okay Johnny you may go first since you raised your hand so politely."

"May I ask a question first?" tremulously queried little Johnny.

"Why of course."

"Do farts have lumps" asked little Johnny.

"Why, no, I don't think so." responded the shocked sub.

"Well..." said little Johnny..."EVIDENTLY you've slapped the s--- out of me."

That's sad that people cannot tell the difference between discipline and abuse. Explains a lot about the growing generation ...

Yup that's why you allways take the kids to the bathroom to beat there ass's.  Wait till they stop crying than continue shopping.  If they act up again leave the groceries and the car and go home.  Tell the kid (depending on age) that they are grounded...no tv...no cartoons...no playing outside cause of their behavior and go shopping at a later date.  

Some people are idiots and think that spanking is abuse and some people are idiots and think that spanking is absolutly necsesary all the time.  

the good parents find the middle ground....the bad parents kid's have shrinks by the time their 20

Sudz, my sister had a similar experience. While returning from vacation they stopped at an outlet mall in Louisiana to do some shopping. My 3 year old neice began acting up and was scolded. The scolding had no effect as my neice escallated to a full blown tantrum. My sister promptly busted her prettythang and they left the mall. When they were getting into their car in the parking lot a Police Officer came screeching up with lights flashing. Seems Mall Security called and said she was abusing the child in public. (This was shortly after the woman in Indiana was videotaped punching her child in a parking lot.)  It turned into a full blown ordeal that lasted 2 hours while the Police ran background checks, searched the car, searched my sister and threatened to remove my neice from my sister's custody. All from her spanking a 3 year old in public. What was learned from this? My neice now has the idea planted in her head she can act up in public, if she gets spanked they will take her mother to jail.

This parenting failure occurred long before the trip to the mall. Boundaries must be set and discipline (non-corporal IMHO) applied without compromise ever. Beating your kids isn't the magic tonic for well behaved children. It goes much deeper than that.
