Don't you just love the people that scream that this is so wrong to do to your child? Really? With kids acting the way they do this day and age, they need some shock value. Could be worse...dad could have just gone in with industrial trash backs and thrown everything away? I know there are many of us who will agree that is what our parents would have done to us, or their parents to them!

What I find amusing is the fact that people PARENTING their children is NEWSWORTHY! Huge write ups in the news. Videos and pictures going viral, hundreds of thousands of likes and followers...

That just tells you how many people are NOT doing it. For a mom or dad to lay down the law these days is SOOOO freaking rare that literally it is worthy of making the evening, if not national, news.

I will never say DH and I were perfect, wonderful parents.

Our kids are smart, we could take them to a nice resort for vacation, we could take them out in public and not have embarassment. Sad that is a rare thing nowadays.

I'll have to do that 'compliment a good acting child' thing. Encouraging the parent to keep doing what they're doing in the face of other parents who seem to fear disciplining children especially in public.
