Hey, he knew what he was getting. Hell, she ADVERTISES that she's a nanny.

Nanny-State tactics are to be expected.

My mother got after me once with a coat hanger. No wonder I'm a wreck.

Our mom had a wooden ruler with a metal edge. Keep away from those sharp corners!

Then one day we were burning leaves in the front yard and the switch bush just HAPPENED to get burnt right up. Did I have anything to do with it? - well lets just say I didn't risk my life to save it ;)

Belly laugh anecdote!

My dad used to spank us three kids with a belt (a couple or three swats on the butt with our pants on) but it didn't take long before we all learned to behave ourselves and he never spanked us again. He wasn't a violent man, just a disciplinarian who wanted his kids to learn right from wrong and certain lessons in life. It worked for us kids.

All three of us turned our to be normal, productive adults and we loved our mom and dad very much until they died. I personally never held any animosity towards my dad for spanking me with a belt because I came to learn that I deserved it. When I got older, I'm realized how smart my folks were and was glad they raised us to stay out of trouble.

That being said, even though the spankings were minimal and not permanently hurtful, in today's world, my dad would have been arrested for domestic child abuse and thrown in jail. We would have been taken over by Child Protective Services and put into a foster care home. My parents would have had trouble convincing the state to return us to them. I know two from high school who lived in foster care homes and they were beaten and mistreated by their foster parents. The state's solution didn't seem to work any better.

Nanny state sticking their noses into places only parents should be allowed to go.

I remember being disciplined with a belt several times.
