You know, back in the 70's when I was growing up, if an adult yelled at you and layed some discipline on you and you ran home to your mommy and daddy to tell, well, all I know is that MY dad would have asked "Yes, well what did you DO to deserve it?"..... In this case I would then tell him of how stupid I was to be walking carelessly out into traffic and putting people's lives at risk, whereupon he would add a good old fashioned spanking to my punishment.
And that would be the end of it.
And I probably wouldn't be so fucking careless in the future about crossing streets and pissing off motorists.
My it's sad how this "no one touches my kid" philosophy has gotten out of hand. In our efforts to protect the children at all costs we have effectively removed any meaningful discipline or consequences for their actions.
