Boys Will Be Boys And Other Lame Excuses for Bullying.

I don't usually get caught up in articles about parenting. I don't have kids and so don't want to get drafted into the endless debate about which kinds of mothers are "best." But still, this article was thought provoking and rich with analogies.

  1. We hear that offensive arguement too often. Boys are far more indulged than girls in most cultures, and the slap happy tendency is usually encouraged. I'am afraid I don't believe in the taking obnoxious children aside and explaining why they are obnoxious tactic. I believe in the hard slap. Straight away, when the little bugger does it. Pussy foot around with explanations they neither listen to nor care about is just showing your weakness. A hard slap judiciously administered shows them who's boss.
