Mom goes on strike, gets arrested, kids accost reporter

Let’s face it. Mom didn’t wake up one day and realize her kids were out of control as teenagers. Discipline was missing from a very young age. Where is the mention of a father? Of course, there wasn’t one in the home, divorce is grand. We need to stop walking away from our families for what makes us happy and realize that “our kids” need two parent households. PS. Mom and Dad, kids don’t need you to be their friends, they need you to set boundaries and be in charge of your house from the day your child is born.

I agree with Hallie. Its not about parenting classes. Its about out of control children in an indulgent society. I take pride in the fact, I can take my five children, the oldest is eighteen, the youngest is seven, to any restaurant and when we leave the management isnt relieved to see us go. And although they may not do their school work, they are polite, and respectful to the teachers and the bus drivers.
Thankfully I live in a state where corporal punishment, although frowned on, is still tolerated. And please dont get me wrong, I am not advocating child abuse, but a good whipping goes a long way, Severity depends on the offense. There are some things that children do that they must be taught not to ever do again. Remember todays children are going to be tomorrows leaders. And a lot of them are missing the nessessary skills to survive in the world much less lead us into the next generation.
But as far as what to do with the children of the lady in Ocala, I submit there is no solution to this problem that will have any favorable results. They dont need a hug, they need a good beating every time they look at someone funny. But I am thinking that wouldn’t do any good either, they have gotten away with it for too long.
