In the realm of child discipline, what in the world is wrong with ten hard swats on a bare bottom??? spare the rod/spoil the child…whom a father loves he also chastises.
I loved being grounded when I was a kid. No real consequences for my actions. All I needed to do was keep myself amused, sleep, read books, etc. I went through the Sherlock Holmes stories several times, it never got old. I suppose my parents thought this was supposed to be time to reflect on my actions, but that never happened. No chores ether, so that was a plus.
" … we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, …"

“Yes” and “No”. All great artists have suffered fools. Fools can survive anywhere.

I’m pretty sure the only thing that can survive in a vacuum is a rock.

They do it because they want you to learn what happens when you misbehave or do bad things.

He’s half right. Foolishness can’t survive in a vacuum but it builds character has never been true

Gene should credit Miles for distracting Mom from the fact that he spent $6,000 on that TV…
