Our children were raised in a "strict" household in that they were respectful to adults, did what they were supposed to do (chores) and had to "work" for what they got.  They got spanked when they needed it and also got the love when they needed it.

Today I have 3 grandchildren that I get to spoil and their parents hate me for it.  I get to spoil the grandkids then send them home with their parents do deal with.  

We raise ours that way too, but they are too stubborn to change their ways. The fun thing? The grandparents recently moved nearby, and while they thought they could get away with their craptastic behavior, gramma whooped em too!

Good job, gramma! That certainly got their attention.

You can only reason (or threaten) little kids so long.  I'm sorry, but that 'time out' [BLEEP] doesn't do anything.  I maybe had to pop youngest on the butt maybe twice and I know I only did it to my oldest once.  And they were extremely well behaved especially compared to the lunacy I see when I go out for dinner nowadays and kids are running rampant in the restaurant.  And the idea of parenting now is to turn your kids into vegetables by putting them in front of a video game or cell phome?

I could go on and on about this.  It's one of mine and my wife's favorite subjects.  But I'll stop there.
