[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 368973, member: 1233"] I think you hit the nail on the head. My parents have a neighbor who is probably the best mom I have ever known in my life. Her daus were completely different and someday we may see her oldest running the world. She is an amazing young woman. I babysat the girls as a teen, and when Wiz couldn't be in a daycare setting the mom, M, babysat him for me. I learned a LOT about being a great parent from her. M told me that she was not against spanking. She didn't need to use it, but in some situations it was appropriate. She said if she EVER caught her child using drugs they would probably get a belt used on them and then get rehab, counseling, etc... as needed. The belt was not so much a punishment but more to get the child's attention and to make darn sure they knew she meant business. I have NO doubt that she would have done it. It is pretty much in line with my own attitude toward spanking. But it is not right for each child, which is another thing I learned from M. That it is okay to treat your kids differently. Fair and equal don't mean exactly the same, esp in parenting. [/QUOTE]
