Strange form of discipline

But...you have to understand from a "spanking parents" point of view......spanking is part of parenting. So, my idea of "not parenting" does actually include not spanking. Just as your idea or not parenting includes your form of punishment. To each his own really, I'm sure you and I and all parents alike are on the same side ultimately when it comes to the topic of "poorly behaved children" however, no matter how you slice it, (although both ways of parenting we are able to raise the same type children) our approaches will evermore be very different. Kuddos to you for being a terrific Mom...no joking! really, there aren't many out there it seems.

You say above that your idea of not parenting includes not spanking. You can't think I am both not parenting (by not spanking), and that I'm a terrific mom.
