You are a lucky guy, to get a compliant and obedient daughter who never needed spanking.
I admit that I spanked my 4 obstinate daughters; and I close-fisted punched my 4 sons when I found marijuana in their rooms. (All were over 16 when I did this. Believe me, it hurt my hand more than it hurt their pride.)
Well, my secret is my parenting philosophy of "benign neglect."
I have developed a special recipe for being the perfect dad. I'll share it with you if you promise not to tell anyone:
- one part Sheriff Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith Show),
- one part Lucas McCain (The Rifleman),
- one part Al Bundy (Married With Children)
- one part Peter Griffin (Family Guy).
Seems to work perfectly.
