GO TO YOUR ROOM AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DONE
Have you ever been told this ? I haven't as a child punishment was at hand and not forgotten. My father died when I was 12 and I can remember to this day when I was spanked by him. We use to go hunting all the time and he was a great hunter, but I think he got me and hunting a little confused when he would spank me. I can see him now.He would seek me out, and get me in his sight and set his scope so it would be a direct hit and then fire. yes he never missed his target. I have said many times in life that I remember my dads punishment but have always jokenly said my Mother beat me every day
just kidding about that.I said all of this to say,,,What went wrong....Is this the day in time that now we are not punished, but sent to our room to think about what we did wrong.

I am 63 and I guess old school. I work one day and it is in retail and I see the kids today and how they act as if no discipline.
I'm old school too and I know to where you speak of how undisciplined some kids are.
I remember my pastor saying once...you teach your kids to do right, to do wrong is already in them...
thanks for comment
I personnely think and did smack my sons for seriouse stuff, but like you wen stopped at a certain age when full understanding was with them.
Pocket money was stopped but not the jobs they had to do to even get that.
I remember one of my sons wanted long hair
Todays children (some--most) just seem even when very small just bad truly bad. Not chlds fault but parents. Maybe parents think talking to a 2 year old not to do something that is dangerouse works
Maybe todays parents have not the time nor energy to correct kids, just buy expensive stuff hopping that will make them good kids. No time to sit and talk
I am just glad my lads are men and shame i know but keep away from kids altogether if i can help it.
the end of your comment reminds me of what one of our first lady's said.....when I have a headacke I do as the label says on medicine bottle,,,,take two tablets and keep away from kids.....
It's so nice to see you back in your old profile.
As for the punishment, I'm ok with that. Discipline as needed for learning. My parents were good disciplinarian but always made it a point for us to learn and bit to do the same mistakes.
It served us good. I applied the same discipline to my children and see them do the same thing.
The most important thing us our responsibility to raise loved and responsible children.
My parents did, we did it to my four children and my grand children are experiencing the same.
Needless to say my children are good and responsible members of our society.
I couldn't be more grateful.
Great blog Wen.
