Had I even thought of behaving like that as a kid I wouldn't have been able to sit down for a week. My parents were not abusive, although today that definition can be subjective, but by God, we were taught to behave or else. If you don't make children understand at a early age what manners are and if you don't teach no means NO and not ‘’Well’ maybe later’’ you're raising a spoiled brat who will become and obnoxious ill mannered thug someday.

Amen!

I never have trouble with my grandchildren because I let them know what I expect, and I am consistent. They know “the look” from their grandmother.
