If you cannot answer this without being rude, don't answer at all.
12 years ago, when my son was 8 years old, I got a call at work from the school principal. She said my son had been acting up and cursing at school. When I got there, the teacher told me everything that had happened. I ask him did he do it? He said yes. I told the teacher, Excuse me for a minute. She told me “If you whoop him, I’ll have to call the cops on you”. I said “That’ll be no problem. In fact, I’ll call the cops for you and tell them I whooped my child. When they get here, tell them I said if they think they can raise him better than I can, they can take him”. Needless to say, the call to the cops never happened but my child’s whooping did. My mother did the same thing to me, and I’ll admit I hated it, but I thanked her for it years later. She used to say “Where you act out at, you get your *** whooped at”. I never was a big fan of time out. The only rime out I took was a time out to take a belt to my son’s butt. How many of you spank your kids?
By the way, for those of you who think that my son might be emotionally scared, He’s fine and he told me “thank you, Mom” yesterday.
