I learned early when I was a lad that "F---" was a bad word and not to spit on a hot lightbulb. There are just some life lessons that we must learn the hard way.

Yes, like farm kids should not pee on an electric fence.

Never pi$$ in the wind.

It’s from the movie Patton with George C. Scott, where one of his last lines was “it’s like pi$$ing in the wind.” Never forgot it.

Good thoughts.

Before having "children" of your own, adopt or buy a dog.
If you have the patience means to take care of the animal (and care for him),
then you might be eligible to have a child of your own.

We tried that 52 years ago. (Just wish that we would have known the antics
of a "teenager" was like.)

That is good life experience for any parent.......makes you humble and leaves
gray hairs on your head.

NEVER use your hand as a vise.

Never hold a cat & a Dustbuster at the same time!

Teenagers are G-D’s punishment for having sex!

Hahaha, I agree completely, but if you get a dog for that purpose, don't get a Yorkie, it might test your patience and eardrums too much. Ask me how I know. 😊

I believe a little bit of pain for misbehaviors are fine.
Over doing it is not. Just got to find the right balance or learning the lesson and the consequence but not getting hardened in the heart.

I admit that I talk big about beating my kids but really I was usually a big softy. Most often I would use the disappointed dad look and get the point across. When I did beat them, it was only in self defense.

Growing pitbulls?

During my grade school years, we had a dedicated teacher who dish out punishments.
Teachers would just speak, shout or sometimes flick the palms with a ruler, depending on the trouble made.
But for those who crossed the line, they get sent to the gallows LOL.
They are sent to Mr. Cruz,(that means cross in Spanish and that is really his name) the dedicated executioner.

In there, the student gets to choose the object that is going to be hitting him/her in the bums.
Laid would be a thin rattan rod, a wide paddle-like stick and a leather belt.

Of course by that time they would be crying and repentant, and in the end they are tasked to clean bathrooms instead of being whacked.

Its funny to see children trying to kill each other in the classroom cry when sent to Mr. Cruz.

The lesson here is that in whatever way, bad behavior should be realized and never be unpunished.
That is how to grow good individuals.

When I was younger (much younger) I would get into a pile of trouble.

My Mom and Dad would take turns spanking me as I was a child. I now suffer from a rare psychological disorder. It is called “Respect!” The kids today need a few lessons.

I’m sure they do, but in a good way?

Within reasons, I suppose so. It was actually in the Bible:
“Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.”
– Proverbs 13:24

Although its hard to understand that the same being be called forgiving for saying;
"If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out."
- Mark 9:47

Better be careful for supporting LGBTQ's. He's already Destroyed two cities because its filled with gays.
And why should I be condemmed to the earth because a woman, thousands of years ago, ate an apple?
Or sent to hell for not believing magnificent stories about someone I can't see, feel or hear?
