I am a mom of five, I come from a large family myself and I was always taught respect and good manners at home. Lately I notice there are a lot of disrespectful and spoilt children around,they just seem to have everything and appreciate nothing.
I am always terrified my children will turn out that way too and as a result I often come down hard on them.
My oldest child is thirteen and my youngest is one year old which leads to a hectic household and sometimes bad manners are not corrected.
I thought my oldest boy was at the age where he could be treated like an adult but on a trip to the mall last week he threw a tantrum and acted like a child. I decided to treat him like a baby to teach him a lesson and treated him like my 1yr old for a day,he wore a diaper,was spoon fed his meals and was put down for a nap in the middle of the day. He was humiliated and has been very respectful since but do you think this is too drastic and weird a punishment. My husband does,advise please!!!
