I have a child.

[One-Eye the wildcat]

The title of this thread fooled me into thinking you had a kid.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

Same.

The title of this thread fooled me into thinking you had a kid.

Hah, nope.  I can't even get a girlfriend.  Ain't no way I have a kid 

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

Widdle Baby Seb, in fact.

[shisteer of nothing much]

No abusing Widdle Baby Seb, meleth nin.

Eb, a good smack on the rear end won't do anybeast harm. Children need to be taught respect and a small amount of pain is not a bad way to do it.

Stupid government regulations. When I was a child, I'd rather have a smack on the behind than one of mum's lectures anyday.

Discipline and punishment are different things, even though a lot of people use them interchangeably.

[Kade Rivok]

Punishment is used to discipline, and punishment can take many forms.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

Either way, I think Seb's gone.

[Kade Rivok]

Yes, the punishment has taken effect.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Discipline and punishment are different things, even though a lot of people use them interchangeably.

Punishment is important. Children need to learn that there are consequences for their actions.

[Kade Rivok]

Yes.  My child knows this well.

[Sebias of Redwall]

Your child could whip you soundly and send you to bed, old father dear. 

[Kade Rivok]

Don't make me give you a spanking, boy.

[Sebias of Redwall]

I guess I'd have to make you, wouldn't I? I don't think it would be physically possible for you to do it without help. 

[Kade Rivok]

A cane'll do me just fine, thank you.
