Word on the spanking. When I watch nanny 911 I just hit the roof. 3, 4, 5 year old kids controling their parents. My sister raises her son with a soft iron hand. He is the best little 7 year old I know because of it. You can take him anyplace, just tell him he is to be good or you will tell his mom and all is cool. No screaming in movies or acting up at dinner. Not to change this into a child raiseing topic but I have always believed that my moms belt, my welts, and my punishments tought me good lessons. In short for every action there is a reaction. If that action is bad then the reaction can be worse. Case in point, you are 15 you steal a car, you MAY go to kiddy jail, you may not. You hit 18, you steal a car. Odd are with in the next year you will have new friends who will teach you the meaning of Biotch. Just that thought showed me to get in line, thank to my mom and her wonderful, black leather belt that she used with Kung Fu skill.
