My friends know, my house, my rules, and when your kids are in my house, they are mine. If you want something to eat or drink, just ask, I will be glad to get it for you or tell you where it is, depending on age. If you harrass my cats, you will get a spanking, if you bother my stuff, you will be asked once to stop. Then you will get a spanking. If mom does not like it, SHE will get a spanking. Surprisingly enough, most of my friend's kids like me, and will behave at my house when they will not behave anywhere else.
Absolutely right! No one is allowed to touch another person without permission.Originally Posted by IloveSiamese
...I would NEVER allow another person to hit my child....spank or whatever you want to call it....
Just for the record...you've never actually had to Spank a child or parent for that matter have you?Originally Posted by krazy kat2

I've actually picked her up off the floor during a tantrum and placed her in my stepdaughters bed and told her she is not coming out until she's ready to behave. She screams her fool head off behind a closed door for about 10 min and when no one comes she calms down and is out with in 20 min of being put in the room.
I think it comes down to what exactly the kids are doing and what are the parents doing about it. And what are you willing to accept and not.
I agree with you as well!Originally Posted by SwampWitch

I do believe, however, that adults have a responsibility to correct children by telling them gently what is expected of them, if they are acting inappropriately and the parent or caretaker is saying nothing.
