Has been done
my wife was totally against spanking and got mad at me for spanking our son. Until he started to hit and pinch her, then she told me to spank him. But he doesn't always learn, he goes right to doing the same things over again that got him spanked before. I also grab him by the shoulders, look him right in the eye, and talk to him about what he did and why it was wrong. He does have a bit of a temper and gets upset real easily when this happens. Crys, runs to his room and locks the door behind him, etc. What to do when time outs, spankings, serious talks, and other stuff fail?
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.
