[quote=Anonymous][quote=Gambit][quote=Anonymous][quote=Gambit]You never heard of "Good cop, bad cop"?
DW is the good cop. I'm the bad cop. I'm the one that does the disciplining.

During one particularly troublesome morning, DS caught himself a thorough spanking.  The next day, he was a perfect little angel.  On the ride to school, he said to DW "Mommy, you're the good cop"
DW asked, "oh, and who is daddy?"
DS said "daddy is the bad cop."

I guess he heard us talking about good cop, bad cop.[/quote]

So DS was having a tricky morning, you hit him, and the next day he's an angel. Do you feel good that using violence and beating your child made him behave better? If my husband hit me, I'd certainly stop doing whatever it was that annoyed him so that he wouldn't hit me again - but I could also report that to the police as that is domestic abuse.And I'd also hate him for humiliating me and harming me, just because he's bigger and stronger than I am. Are you pleased that your son sees you as the bad cop? That you are the one that hits when he does something you don't like? How sad that your kid will now think that people hit as a way of telling someone to quit doing something.[/quote]

It's easy for you to judge me anonymously.  So I don't really give weight to your anon opinion. But like I said before MY wife is a VERY patient woman. And she doesn't like when I have to discipline our son. So if she had to come to me because of his bad behavior, then it's that serious.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention to the news, but minorities seems to dying and/or taking abuse at the hands of the police son the protect them on a regular basis lately.  I don't feel bad for all of those cases like where one teen pointed an airsoft gun at a cop, but the point still remains the same. I'd rather discipline him now and keep him on the right path so he doesn't grow up getting into trouble, and being shot over minor offenses.  [/quote]

So dysfunctional in so many ways.  Your stone-age approach to childrearing is not really relevant to the rest of us who have progressed.  GL with the teenage years.  [/quote]
