Notice I said "Not doing anything", however you deal with your children, just don't do nothing.
BTW I have 5 children.....

VERY well said..... I have 4 of them myself. I am very strict on one hand and very lenient on the other. When it comes to respecting themselves and others, I am a major bitch about that one. I am ALL into getting their attention however I can get it without hitting them anywhere at all EVER, but sometimes that smack on the ass is what it takes. BUT I'd much rather get it now than wait and not be ABLE to get it when they REALLY get into a jam in their lives.
My oldest just moved out and is on her own and I couldn't be more proud of her if I tried........ she was spanked a few times and punished in various ways. And she is one of the best kids I have ever seen.
I remember she stole something from a store once... and I say ONCE...... we put her in "Jimbo's Jail"...... took literally everything she had away from her, left her mattress on the floor and a milk crate turned upside down for her to eat from, and we walked her to the bathroom for 24 hours, waited outside the door..... NEVER laid a hand on her. She was fed her meals in her room and everything. In 24 hours, we let her out and she hasn't stolen a thing since then.
A couple of years later she hit my son with a pipe and I wore her ass out, she never hit him again either. LMAO
Bottom line is the punishment must fit the crime..... in my house, you hit, you GET hit....... if they hit someone, then I smack their asses, they know how it feels to then get hit and don't do it anymore. lol
And I have 4 children myself...... ranging from 5-19..... LOL
