We knew better not to ask for toys or candy or pets. My dad had an answer for all of them.
"Dad can I have that toy?" No thats a waste of money, go kick your soccer ball around, thats more fun.
"Dad can I have candy?" It'll rot your teeth boy and you'll smile like your grandma.
"Dad can I have a pet?" Why would I need pets when I have three kids who act like dogs?

What? No T.V for 5 minutes? Parents these days don't punish their kids, that's why their all snot-nosed, lying brats.
My sister still whoops her kids asses and puts them in the corner, or sets their asses straight, she doesn't care the time or place.
And the people around her look at her in horror and disgusted because of it.
Parent's simply don't punish their kids anymore.
Yeah, my mom AND dad were like that, my dad used to be like the Ultra Produce manager at the Wal Mart here and it was oddly enough by the toy section. So he'd see all sorts of outlandish and annoying ****. He'd come home knowing we were never like that. He and my mom taught us while we were young.I mean, sometimes, I'd go with him shopping for stuff and I'd see a toy and I'd really want it for reasons beyond me and, I'd ask him and, if the price was right. He'd buy it, if not, we'd get something cheaper.
He always picked out the sickest most raddest toys.
We realized I was grown up when I was like "Toys are gay, I want models to build". My first model was a B-28 bomber.![]()
I never got spanked or punished. My mom would just YELL. The possibility of hearing her yell would scare me enough to not get into trouble. She's nice when she isn't yelling though
Can't you get arrested for spanking a kid nowadays?![]()
The trick with my dad was to look very interested in the toy, but not ask for it. So I'd bascially study the box and my dad would say, "You want that?" "Yeah" then he'd grab it and put it in the cart. My sister always screwed up the trick saying something like "Yeah, can I get it?", then he'd grab it and put it back on the rack.

That is good.I have children now, and I've been thinking about how I'm going to raise them even though they are still very young. I just know that I don't want spoiled, misbehaving kids as my children, so I'll try to use declipline and conducts to make sure they grow up with the right attitude.
That is good.Just remember that contrary to what some will tell you, spanking is not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of the time, its the best way to discipline a child. Kids don't really know how to reason yet, so its often impossible to use reason to punish them.
