Happy I live in the United States. Parents have the right to discipline as they want. We don't need the goverment telling us what to do with our kid's.

@RubySoo not all kid's are perfectly behaved

RubySoo · 56-60, F

@smileylovesgaming id say none. Mine weren't but in my opinion, NOTHING a child ever does would merit an adult inflicting actual physical punishment as some sort if corrective measure.

@RubySoo what did your parents do when u misbehaved

RubySoo · 56-60, F

@smileylovesgaming shouted at me. The occassional slapped hand as in.. 'dont touch/ do that.' Never any more than that. The fact i got told off and id upset my parents was enough. I didnt like upseting them.

Government has nothing better to do than to get into everybody’s business. It’s why nothing ever gets done. They are too busy being busybodies instead of being busy doing what they were elected to do. @smileylovesgaming

@MissBrittany [quote] they will be better behaved. [/quote]
It never worked like that when I was growing up. If it had, they wouldn't have had to use it so much. The cane and slipper were in daily use.
