LZ says... "Spanking is not a cure, and should not be the first resort, but I don't think it should automatically be taken off the table when dealing with small kids."

So LZ is for spanking, just not in public? So spanking is 'child abuse' according to liberals, but they expect 'the look' to imply in public what parents have a duty to do in private?

Most child-haters I have encountered are seniors who ooze their hatred for them even when they are well-behaved. Such as when you show up at the pool with them in tow -- they haven't done anything and already they're puffing and grunting and rolling their eyes, as though their good time is spoiled (and they're going to let you know!). And I'm sure most never raised children, and went on to live the life of a narcissist.

To them my sentiment is, 'relax, they'll be paying your social security in a few years'.

From an older person POV. There have been more times than I can count when, at the grocers or other public space, I have been run into, just about knocked over by thoroughly undisciplined children running around unbridled. To the point that I fear the weekly shopping trip — because I never know in advance what indignity I will face. It is not HATE; it is FEAR. Just Saying.

By the way, by the time your perfect children — assuming they will work — pay into Social Security (oozing a little hate here), I will have been taken out by some bureaucrat serving on some panel under Obamacare. And btw, the reason you can write (perhaps speak) English and not German or Arabic, is because someone of your hateful senior generation gave their life for you and your perfect children.

I don’t think a responsible senior citizen would find a child who is not being taught to be responsible a comfortable thought.

Wise conservative parents discipline a child in accordance with their knowledge of what discipline measures are most effective with that child and in accordance with the situation.
