There is a line between abuse and discipline. But, many Americans have lost sight of that line and call it all abuse.
I will raise my kids the same way I was raised and that is the old school way (which in Ukraine is still the only way). America is raising a bunch of pansy’s with all their laws and regulations about what is and isn’t allowed anymore. And like Srs said…I’m pretty sure that lack of discipline in the home has an effect on how kids portray themselves in public, what they wear, etc. If I ever have a son and he wears something remotely homosexual…I will beat it off him. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Oh, and don’t forget the entitlement talked about below.
