Amen brother...amen. I've already indulged in a benadryl. My poor wife is about ready to pop and got really frustrated and humiliated over this experience. If I had known after viewing this thread today that tonight would happen like this I would have stayed home. We were up near Ft Campbell checking out car washes for ideas....I'm in contract now.

Thanks...

I'll be online collecting rent at the office in the morning. Raining cats and dogs all weekend here...finally about to get cooler...finally. That's good news. My tasmanian devil is of course now sleeping the sleep of princes with nary a red splotch on his behind after his "abuse". We may lose this country you know.

Thank you for sharing your story...I too have encountered "nosey-do-gooders" who think that a swat or two on the diapered bottom is akin to the beating that we've seen on this video. And yes, overly permissive parents often (but not always) turn out to have horrid teenagers, who act out because they don't know their boundries. I wish I was close enough to offer to baby-sit, sounds like you both could use a long night out (without the kids). Hang in there, it does get easier...I made it thru' (3 kids in 6 years--youngest was a "surprise" baby) and my kids (who were all disciplined; time outs, spanked at times, grounded, etc.) have turned out to be fine young adults.
