My husband is a bit of a softie when it comes to discipline. He does what he has to, but always feels the need to apologize. His problem is that he was an abused child and doesn’t want to be an abusive parent. It’s a fine line, but he’s walking it admirably. And yes, he asks for my help, because my parents were great parents.

“*Our apologies, but to fight off abuse….”

Oh…for a second there, I thought it was referring to the subject of the strip!

That’s why you don’t wait until they’re in their teens before you start laying down the law.

YES, the next time you (Jeri) disrespects her mother.. mother will slap her and only cry for 5 minutes..
disrespect needs more than just loosing phone use.NO respect = Lawlessness., think about it..it starts at the age of 2.

Jeri will let her apologize and will forgive her if she buys her something. After that I’d just want to slap her again!

If I ever told my mother to shut up, it would be dad I’d have to worry about.
