Keyser,
My mom was the enforcer in the family. My dad never touched us. If my brother and me would be fighting, she would run into the room and hit with anything that was handy!! I once got hit by a phone book!! (Thwaap!!) She didn't care who's fault it was. We both got equal hits. Then she would make us shake hands and hug each other! Talk about playing with your mind! She never hit to extremes.
I remember going to my parents friends houses for visits and you couldn't move. If my mom would see me fidgeting, she would give me a stare that would paralyze me. It meant that if I don't stop, I would get it on the way home!! If my parents friends would offer us to eat or drink something, we had to say no even if we were starving. We were not allowed to get into the adults conversation. Imagine that today!!
There is no more respect in today's kids. Maybe we should go back to disciplining like in the old days. I know I came out better for it. I didn't understand it then but I do now. Thanks mom for caring!!
Glad
