    I normally do not spank. But, Si has gotten spanked before. I hate doing it and am not proud of a society that says hitting children is acceptable.

    But then he lied to me...

    Jussayin... I feel you. You have to have that self talk, ya know...

    "He's only 9... Calm down..."
    " Remember, you're raising a future husband and father... "
    "You'll only make him afraid..."

    I have no respect for any parent who spanks their child these days.

    People need to realize its 2018. We have tasers now!

    I do often remind Tanner, "I'm making a concerted effort to remain calm, despite the disrespect you've shown by..." or other statements of that nature. Something to highlight the fact that it is possible to be frustrated and angry, but not allow that frustration or anger to control your responses. 'Cause yeah, EVERY moment with your kid is an opportunity to model wisdom or foolishness. I've heard many times that kids learn significantly more from what they see you do than what they hear you say. Which is too bad, 'cause what they hear me say is GOLD!!

    And yeah, I've had to apologize to my kids for inappropriate parental responses. Nothing more humbling.
