Another expert on child rearing speaks up (not!)
Okay, any parents want to comment on this?
The War Department and I married with the rock solid conviction we'd never, ever spank our children. No sir, wouldn't be necessary. Nope, no way Jose! Our #1 son was born and he jerked like I'd hit him with a red hot poker when I first yelled at him. He listens and obeys, he knows who's THE BOSS!!
But then # 2 son came along. His butt gets paddled at least once a day and he'll be two in March. Cute as a button, knows it and just laughs when you yell. "Back in the day" I was loud enough and forceful enough that I literally made grown men cry when I chewed them out. True statement.
This kid laughs. And just to be straight, he laughs when he gets paddled too! So we're not about to scar him for life! But after the paddling he DOES listen. Briefly. For a minute or two.
And yeah, I've been known to pick on men my own size or bigger. Got whupped a few times but it didn't stop me.
What's really telling in this whole story is the quote,"But Lieber is optimistic that lawmakers will find her proposal hard to resist. For the record, she does not have children.....'' (Emphasis is mine).
No shit, Sherlock!
