The sort of parent that will take their children to McD's every now and then if theyve been good or no McD's cos its just supporting the globalisation monster and I want my child to become as politically aware as early as possible?

A smack on the bum if theyve been bad or send them for 'time out'?

Let them watch TV when theyve done their homework or not even having a TV in the house cos communication between the family is more important?

Sit down as a family at the table and eat dinner or just if the situation suits itself?

I'm not. Teaching 500 + kids a week has taught me that while I like kids, I do not want them around 24/7. I'm planning to be someone's favorite aunt though.

A good thumping every Sunday for the stuff they've done and I don't know about seems reasonable.

I am just going to get my self sniped. Screw having kids, I never want one.

virtually no fast food here in the ROK. McDonalds in the US? yes. We went to Burger King too, and Chuckycheese. it's not about the food though, it's about the playgrounds!

i'll tan my son's hide, but only when he really earns it; with toddlers or very small children, a wrap on the hand works. this is done in combination with verbal explanations and warnings

TV in moderation is okay. same thing with computer games.

We try to eat together, but it's easier said than done.

I raised my daughter on no fast food, no spankings, and little to no television. She was hell on wheels and snuck candy and television whenever possible.

After all of the fights and noise and rebellion, she is raising her boys with no fast food, no spankings, and very little and closely monitored television.

Her boys are angels! Really, and in all of the advanced classes at school. Straight A students who never get in trouble.

Where did I go wrong? Confused

Daughter had her first-ever day of work today -- an unsolicited one-day modelling gig for a photography studio. At three-and-a-half months old, she's making about $60 per hour. Very Happy

McD's every now and then if it suits. I dont want them to think it is such a treat.

When I was little, my mother didnt give my brother and I veges for dinner for a few nights. Of course we wanted to know why mum and dad had a different meal. "they are special veges, that only grown ups like to eat. You wont like them" she told us. Of course we begged and begged to try some and of course we loved them. So we were given veges every night, and if we were good, we got extra special veges. Interesting parenting tactic, but it sure worked!! And I still love veges!

Smacking? Depends..... if its an important lesson, eg, if they run out onto the road, then yes theyll get a smack straight away. A time out is not severe enough for the lesson to be learned. If t
