Not the kids fault.
It\'s the parents.
That mother needs to grow a pair of balls and knock the kid silly. Should of done it a lot earlier.
As my mother always said, if you strike me, you better hope it kills me, because when I come after you, it\'s all over. The same applies to my kids, if they ever even think of raising their hands towards me.
Idiot parents. Letting kids run the house. This is what happens when as a culture, we are against any kind of punishment that may "hurt" or "damage" the child.
I\'d imagine I speak for most on this board. When I was growing up, a spanking was normal. You didn\'t get grounded or a time out. You got a spanking. Guess what? It\'s ten times more effective than a little grounding or time out.
I love my girls to death, but I\'ll never stand for them to back talk me or raise a hand towards me.
