Mum meets man who sees her 2 teenage daughters are making her life hell and it is mostly her own fault for weak parenting. They were the only parents of all the friends I had in high school that stayed married (all the rest divorced at some point, even if some re-married). It seems like people are really jumping to conclusions in this thread based on an article that is light on details. As a result, she feels that I am allowing my 6-year-old to get away with things that never would have gotten by my mother when I was coming up.

I never would have thought I would be facing so much change in such a short period of time, but hey, that’s life, I suppose. The other flat on that floor is occupied by Clair Bell and her daughter Samantha, who I have known for the last twelve years. They threaten me by cutting the cables for my Nintendo, turning off the TV, preventing me from going out with my friends and that kinds of stuff and it worked wonders.Like that case about a week ago where a mother "spanked" her 5 year old son for playing in the family room and breaking the television: she hit him twice in the back, twice in the front. We’re very close, my mother and I, but we’re also very similar, so we tend to butt heads when it comes to certain issues. I shared a house with my sister for a while in a new city, and helped her raise her son/my nephew for a couple of years, he started turning into a little brat at one point, a few spanks and some tears later, now he actually listens when you tell him to do things. What dog trainers have you ever seen that go around smacking the dog silly/shoving it's nose in it's own excrement and expect it to learn from it.

Sorry to say but I find myself living in a country where it's very illigal to put a hand on a child but where good parenting isn't a rare thing. It is your house, if you want to walk from the shower to the bedroom nude then you should be allowed to without thinking twice about it. Really and im sure having that chain tighten around the dogs neck has nothing to do with training either? Essentially leveraging an image of the future of being way worse than it is now unless their behavior changes has worked for me. my mother on the other hand ruled with an iron fist, and i knew if i messed up or lied i'd get my ass kicked.They would always give warnings before handing out physical punishment in the form of a spanking, but let's face it. That's a fine lesson to learn, they'll get plenty of opportunities to learn it in middle and high school. You might not see it now, but if you trust me as your provider and caretaker I will show you a path to luxury and richness of life filled with marvels and conquests. The definition of simple assault is an “unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another“.
