I think it all boils down to consequences for actions. Think about it, what is keeping most of us from robbing a bank? The consequences. Children and young adults these days don't have consequences for their actions. "Oooooh!, if I do something bad, my parents might tell me it was wrong and ground me to my room to watch tv and talk on the phone and play on the computer". "Boy, I better not do that". It is in the legal system as well. "I didn't mean to kill that person and hide them in my freezer, but my mommy didn't read to me at night". "It's not my fault".
Hell ya I spank my kids, but I only had to do it a few times. Once I got the point across, they realize they have to make a choice. Do I want to do this bad enough toput up with the consequences. On a side note, I haven't had to spank them in the last four years. That's my rant. Thanks.
