When my 6 year old informed me that her school said it’s child abuse to discipline, I “wiggled out of it” by telling her, “feel free to report me to your teachers. But who will wash, cook and clean for you when I’m in jail?” That was the end of the state sponsored revolt of children against their parents.
“...feel free to report me to your teachers, but who will wash, cook and clean for you when I’m in jail and you have been placed in foster care with a family of strangers?”
