I was strick with my daughters, however they were mouthy , fresh, broke curfew, talked back, etc... they were feeling thier boundries... they were being typical teenages, I didnt run a bootcamp.. I never said it was OKAY but I didnt smack them across the room either ( that would be considered a serious case of child abuse)... I know you are only 27 but what is allowed now a days and what was allowed even 27 years ago is quite different. Not only has the family dynamics changed but the world in general has changed. |
Oh, I thought she said smack in the mouth, she said smack across the room, I hope we stop that horrible disrespect for our children. You will never win respect by being disrespectful.
