I agree with you Alpha, however I do not beleive it is lazyness. I mean some people have been tought different approches and they lack the knowledge , time and support.
I myself do not spank or yell but I was raised that way.However I had interests in kids and I studied in the social work field so I have tools and I learned to do things differently. But not everyone has been in the same boat. To me if parents are at least doing something and beeing CONSISTENT that's the key. I am very firm with my own kids, I will give them a chance to make amends, I am not afraid of saying no and giving logical consequences to unacceptable behaviours and I will raise my voice because all this has proved very effective for me.
What I think is happenning is we are asking parents to be perfect and have perfect children. If I see someone spank a child or humiliate them yes ofcourse I will cringe ... but honestly who am I to judge them. Because I've read in a book that you are no suppose to do that they are BAD parents ?
