No, most people did people did things like this to their children to help them learn.

People didn’t coddle their children like you might have been.

I’m glad that you found a new arguement to argue about for the next week or so. It’s good for the mind to practice verbal exercises.

"CODDLED"? I was hardly "coddled"; but rather, I was raised very well unlike others, whose parents gave their toddlers, or even a bit older children tokes on a cigarette and hard liquor to drink, to "teach them a lesson, or whatever the dumb thing you claimed.

And you only imagine that this was "normal", due to the fact that you obviously ONLY have ever been around lousy parents.

No didums, I shan't be posting back to you, for a week or more; I'd rather not get down in a cesspool with you; though that appears to be you preferred habitat.

"TEACH THEM A LESSON"?

What "lesson" is doing any of that to a toddler or even a child? How to be a classless sod?

It would be much better to teach their children good manners, how to make their beds, and cook a few simple dishes and I don't mean toddlers, but a child as young as 4 is fully able to learn how to set a table and do very simple chores, with older children being taught other valuable things (at each appropriate age), such as starting a saving account at 6, how to iron around 10, etc.!
