A question for parents who DO believe in spanking...

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 27 Mar 09

If you believe in spanking or other types of "corporal punishment" (as some call it), where do you draw the line? When does it stop being "discipline" and when does it start becoming abuse? How do you know you haven't crossed that...

pentaluda0878 You can discipline your kids in a positive way, you just have to remember that discipline is not about tearing down a child self esteem or making them feel crappy. Yelling creates fear, not respect, and isn't always effective, it just teaches your child to...

pentaluda0878 Ok if you go out in public and people think you are grandpa or daddy, the girl is to young for you. Yes age is just a number but EWWW, and come on you think a 18 year old girl is actually in love with a man that age and enjoys her wifely duties?

pentaluda0878 I think this is a great idea, we go so far as to kill the power strips that have our computers(4) and tv/stereo system at night before bed, so there isn't even auxiliary power being wasted except for things like alarm clocks that are always on.

pentaluda0878 Um teflon has been banned in certain countries because it's toxic, if it scrapes off or and you ingest it or if it is heated to hot and then it releases toxic vapors. I use food grade stainless steel and love it, cast iron for me is to dirty, though they are...
