Isn't enough characters to say all I want to say
Sounds like we're from the same parents! Thats exactly how I grew up and I raised my children the same except I didn't whoop their bottom except in extreme circumstances. Reason for that is by time I had children it was consider child abuse to spank the child where I live.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
I remember my mom making me go out to the backyard tree to find the appropriate switch to use to reprimand me. I remember her washing my mouth out with a bar of soap when I disrespected her with nasty words. I remember her having a paddle that sat on top of the fridge, with holes on it to hurt more (she never used that on us, was just there for intimidation).
I remember mom, and again I thank you for whooping my ass and helping me become the God loving respectful man that I am today. I will see you one day again dear mother.
