Hes going to walk all over you. "Hey I might as well go to this party, because whats the worst that would happen" "Ill get grounded? Who cares?" And thus is why not many children these days dont RESPECT their parents.[/quote] Like I said I would gladly debate that with you in its own thread but I think it's a little far off topic for the op. I however received no form of physical abuse and im perfectly fine, I listen to may parents and do what they ask just like any kid is expected to. Without the need for any hitting, or spanking. [/quote] You're just a submissive person then. Just because it worked for you doesnt mean it would work for 90% of other kids.
