My teenagers are messy. Should I have used the belt on them while young?

What say you SW?🤔

Noooooooo. Violence is never the answer with children

@Lizabee: But Joe Donelly got beat up as a kid and he turned out pretty good. ☺

@Lizabee: Agreed. Just pot stirring. 😎 The spanking contingent must be busy.

@luckranger71: 😉👍🏻

I am in the favor of discipline...don't hit but don't be lenient either. Being strict and showing them that you're a parent and not a friend is one essential chapter in parenthood!

@Vivaci: The ONLY solace I can take is that I've not any offspring to leave this mess to...I find it impossible to conceive what the nation will look like 30 short years from now...
@williemcd: I love kids, and although most of the kids look unruly, there are many who are brought up well. So my hopes for the future are not so dim.

If you use a belt on a child you have totally failed as a parent

Then they'd just be messy and scared of you.

Talking with them man to man is preferable.😌
