And thats the point, Calla. when we grew up, we had to deal with neighbors and schools, people in the community, telling our parents what we did wrong.... and i never once can recall any of them lying on me, what they claimed i did... lol... i did. my son had a total of five spankings... the last at age 10 for stealing from wal-mart. an appology to the store manager, payment of stolen item, having to throw away said item, and a spanking when home, added punishment of restriction for a month... yeah... i was strict. and i get the same comments about him. how respectful, polite, well mannered, disciplined, ect. i raised a fantastic kid, probably the only thing i have ever done right. but now days, if you tell a parent what their kid does wrong, you are usually told to mind your own business. many parents make the excuse they are too tired, or their kids are just being kids, or they really arent "that bad". what kept many of my generation, and older, in line was the threat "wait till your father gets home". seems "father" has abdicated his role, "mother" too, to become "friends"
