What I would do is not the same as God would do. My children are very thankful.
I’m assuming “suzy” means you are female.
Your children are right to be very thankful for you.
Sorry for the disconnected statements. I meant the second to be:
Your children are right to be very thankful for you as their mother.
At the risk of sounding as truculent as I did yesterday, I would point out that I asked what you would do, and to what lengths you would go.
Would you put your 5 year old in leather restraints to stop them from running around the house, or would you let them experience the consequences of running and slipping and falling on the tile floor after you had demonstrated reasonable remonstration and direction that they were not to do it?
