Don't know how I ever survived. Traded lunches, no special child seats in cars. I'm lucky to be alive!!!
No kidding! And probably had peanut butter at least once a week...and not a single kid in my school ever dropped dead because of it. I got my butt wore out with a belt, and I never heard of CPS. And time out? As Jeff Foxworthy says "where was this when I was a kid?" I still laugh when I hear parents talking about giving kids a "time-out." I guess there is some parallel to standing in the corner like we sometimes had to do, but that was back when kids were actually taught to respect their parents and by the time they were old enough for standing in the corner, they'd already learned not to scream at, hit or ignore what their parents/teachers told them.
Ever watch "Supernanny?" Her techniques may be all fine and good, but relatively useless without a couple of good spankings to get these brats' attention first.
