One time my wife asked me to buy diapers and formula for my younger son at Toys R Us because of sale. I went in with my older son. We had passed the toys and my son wanted a toy I didnโt have money for. My son threw himself on the ground crying, kick and carrying on. I had picked him up and spanked him once on the bottom. A woman nearby gasped and said โhow dare you spank your son!โ I replied, โShut Up! Youโre Next!!!โ
It's a good, caring parent who loves their children enough to want them to make wonderful adults. That can't happen if they allow tantrums when they don't get what they want. (Example: Menendez (sp) brothers).
I was in a store one day when a dad told his son NO to what he wanted and the son spit on him. He did nothing. Heaven only knows what that child may do to him someday when he says no again.
