I have dealt with it and hate it. Dei37 and I have our own girl who is almost 3. She is usually pretty good but when her behavior gets a little out of control we give her a swat or even a few swats on the behind and she settles down. I know we're taking a chance with this but if anyone says anything at all there is no evidence of psychological damage and no physical damage so they can just shove off. Part of the degeneration is decorum among the children now is a result of all these "experts" telling us that spanking is not useful. When a kid is out in public they know that they can get you riled up and you can't do anything about it more than just talking to them because you're so stinking afraid of some bozo taking your kids away cause you swatted their poor little behind for being disrespectful. If people would just bug off and leave us to use a little corporal punishment then we wouldn't have to deal with these kids or their parents that don't show any respect for others. A firm swat on the behind never hurt anyone. I'm not advocating whipping out the belt and yanking down the pants and leaving welts. I dont advocate that at all. I've dealt with too many abusive parents in child care and in teaching. For my own child though - she will respect other's peace and quiet and learn to enjoy herself at the same time. Besides who never heard of bring your kids some quiet puzzles or coloring books! Kids brains are so rotted out by TV they can't entertain themselves quietly anymore. Anyway there's my rant. Rest assured it won't be my girl intrudes on your dinner next time.
