See so many parents that ,especially moms.(sorry ladies it's true) that threatin a spanking or some form of punishment and dont follow up . After a while the child knows that he / she can pretty much do what they want cause mom is all bark and no bite.
Look around at couples who are your friends w/ kids .You will find a couple or 2 like this. Dad can just look at the kids and they stop doing whatever it is that they were doing . But mom sits there and says over and over stop , dont, quit that ,hush etc, Because the child knows there's no consequinces to ignoring mom. And yes , there are some dads and sometimes both parents that are guilty of the same behavior. we have one son ,25 yo that only got 3 whippings in his life.
1 w/ a paddle at 14 for skipping school. 1 at 16 w/ my fist for balling up his fist at his mom. 1 at 18 again w/ my fist when he decided to try dad on for size.
Now i'm older and so is he. Hope i don't have to do it again but i will. But the main point is ,HE KNOWS I WILL

I can say for sure that my mom was not affraid to let me have it. Usually when she was really mad though, she would just say "You just wait until your dad gets home!" Man, did that do the trick. I was scared for the rest of the day. I dont think there was a single time that he didnt follow thru. Moms, if you dont like to do the whipping, theres always a threat from dad. He doesnt have to be around to get the point accross. Just make sure there are
no empty threats. Thats the worst thing you can do.
