They're kind of proud of the fact that they do it, it gives them some power, and they think there good parents then because they have there children under control...😐
@SW-User This seems exactly right and it explains why parents all over the world all do it!
Example: (Said of one mom to another about a kid misbehaving in public) "If that were my child, she would be sleeping on her tummy tonight!" OR "When I got him home, I would wear his naughty bare bottom out with my hairbrush!"

What I feared the most was that the discussion would then go down this path: " Yes, a good idea; what do you use?"
