Reply #105: i am so with you. i never have real problems with kids

and we do it just like. i sit in amazement of both kids, but especially the oldest. totally easy. but i am respectful, the boss, but respectful to my children. and have told them, i expect that same respect. i wouldnt take it from a stranger, certainly wont from my children. also, i have shown them, the more i trust, the more they receive in so many areas. nah, it is just too easy when they know, it is not about controlling them, or trying to make them into something they are not. they feel respect. and if they feel that respect, children really are easy. they also learn how to respect themselves with this, and that allows them to make good choices

now, i think it was you that said above, parents get glee from hittin. my parents used a belt. seldom on me. i was a good easy child, and i really didnt want the belt. and they loved me, and respected me, and were damn good parents that did not get glee in hurting us. so no..... i dont think a lot of parents get glee in hurting kids.
