i couldnt agree more with 2ndamendment
you can be a parent or a friend not both

i dont believe there are many reasons to whip my kids for their behavior. because they are more terrified by the potential of a whipping not the actual act. besides once a child reaches a certain age stern parenting works better than a beating. i remember when i was a kid wishing my dad would just smack me and get it over with.
