Trust me I would listen to a phone call, search my childrens's room, read a diary and follow them to and from school if I thought there was a problem with one of my 4. Then dare anyone to say what I was doing was wrong!!!!
I am sick of laws that tell me how to parent!
Stick to your guns.
I raised 5 in the days when parents were considered intelligent enough to raise their own kids. I was on very good terms with the ER at the local hospital. Today I would be suspected as a child abuser because I had a few accident prone kids(who doesn't?)
I'm with you. Sometimes its unfortunate, but necessary.
You are right and millions of parents stand with you.
I'm with you 1000%. I also have a nephew the same age as my son (14) and when I came down on both of them in one of my "random checks" where they get to empty their pockets for possible contraband, he bitched about his constitutional "rights". I offered him a constitutional "left" and that was the end of that discussion. We're an old-fashioned family and he knows better than to go tell his Mom that Uncle Emmett had to offer to whack him upside the head.
