Bit of anti “breeder” in this story.
But point is valid. Some kids need less time out and more belt on butt.
Parents try to be friends with their kids rather than parents. Look at the 40 year old moms wrapped up in Twilight. Grow the heck up.
Kids need more of what THEY don't like.
I preferred spankings to time out or being grounded. I wanted it over and done with.
