nicest things I've ever read! I specially like the part about getting smacked when you needed it since that must be the one single most determining cause for todays bratty kids. What ever happened to the days when answering back to your dad was forbidden and when "you'll see when your dad gets home" actually meant something?? As much as we'd all like to hold on to this philosophy, you'll soon see that it's practically impossible to raise kids today the same we we were raised.
