My husband comes from a family that believes that the punishment should fit the crime. He went to Catholic school (so - very strict) and was caught cussing - you know, back in the day when it wasn't heard every other word - and his dad made him spend every afternoon for two weeks copying the entire encyclopedia section on the English language, word for word. Guess who rarely cusses to this day, lol.I think the way you parented/described it is the best way to parent. I never spank my kids unless they've been told repeatedly, had things taken away, and still are blatantly defiant. Even then, it's not out of anger as I know where they get their insanely strong will and stubbornness.... ME and her mother is just like I am lol! But props to you @klpca for raising good kids that are a positive contribution to society
Sounds like we parent similarly. As I suspect a large number of people do. It's always the few that cause the most problems.
