The difference is obvious, the wife isn't 5 years old. You can discuss with the wife, etc. The child will not always listen, and you can certainly not explain WHY some things are good and some are wrong.Originally Posted by Ironside
How about kids throwing a tantrum ? You know, when they never listen to what you say, and couldn't hear you anyway, since they're yelling at the top of their lungs ? Yes, you can explain to him that's rude, impolite, and it bothers the people around him, for a couple of hours, until he gets tired of screaming. Or you can give in and give him whatever he wants. OR, you can smack him a good one and raise a well-behaved child, instead of one who knows he'll always get what he wants by throwing tantrums.
As for the wife aspect, you BET a bit of smacking is desirable, if applied at the appropriate moments!![]()
