My stepdad made my brother smoke an old cigar when he got caught. My brother never smoked again
My son still remembers what happened when he accidentally walked out of a grocery store holding a snack without paying for it. I practically opened up a can of whoop ass right there—and I was a divorced-single mom not afraid to discipline like so many of these coddling single moms are today.
He’s in the AF, married, with a baby daughter and has a good education/job. I wouldn’t be able to say the same for his early school mates.
