Edward, Thanks for the unsolicited parenting advice. How many kids do you have again? I am really sorry your father abused you. I am never quite sure which thing to say when someone's says something like this.
Ok, actually I do not think spanking is automatically abuse, but I do wonder what kind of response someone expects to a comment like this. I can tell you that pain is not a deterrent for my kids. My eight year old actually will stand at the top of the stairs and go all loose to fall down the stairs on purpose. he thinks it is funny. Every kid is different. a little swat kept my sister in line and well behaved. I on the other hand never took a spanking as anything but being hit. My grandfather never hit me and always said I was a very well behaved kid. My mother regularly spanked me and had to keep doing it over and over.

First, we need to identify the problem. Once this is done, the solution becomes very simple. The problem is not the faucet but, rather, it is the children. The faucet doesn't need modification. The children need an attitude change. My dad's favorite attitude changer was his belt. He had a simple approach to most problems involving misbehaving children. Identify the problem, apply the attitude changer, repeat if necessary. It worked for me and my siblings and every other kid in the neighborhood in which I was raised. Give it a try. I think you'll be surprised at the results. Take care, Ed [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To listen to the show archives go to link http://acbradio.org/handyman.html or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday The Pod Cast address for the Cooking In The Dark Show is. http://www.gcast.com/u/cookingindark/main.xml Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/handyman/ Visit the new archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
