You need a subscription to the Daily Mail newspaper. Your fucking head would explode after a couple of weeks.

What the title said. Bring back the fucking whipping with a belt! Serious.

or, you can try this fun discipline -

Face the floor

Whenever said action happens, you instruct your child to face the floor. Lying down on their stomachs, arms at their sides and nose touching the carpet. An hour of this seems to stop whatever they were doing to misbehave and since implementing it the frequency of problems have tapered off as well.

Now I'm sure some of you will think this is cruel - but it's a punishment, a form of discipline. I've seen so many kids that run their households, fuck that.

Whateva!

I do what I want!

It's a lot better than the 12 year old father who looks like an 8-year-old.

Take away their cell phones until they gain enough of a brain to use them responsibly and be able to limit themselves. Stop letting them get away with everything under the sun because you can't suck it up and tell them "no". That's what parents need to do.

We've got some damn good parents on this forum! However, from I've witnessed over the last several years is

1) Parent's can't be bothered with raising their kids (in layman's terms, they just don't give a shit)

2) Parent's are afraid to discipline their children (in layman's terms, they give a shit but not enough to do anything about it)

I'm a firm believer in spankings. There is a difference between spanking a child and beating a child. In today's society, if I spank my child at home and then he goes to school and tells his teacher, the immediate response is to have me arrested for "beating" the child. No one cares about the facts. I'm automatically associated with Attila the Hun!

Children need discipline and spankings are not always the answer. But many times, a spanking or physical action is needed. For example, if my young son reached for a hot pot on the stove, he got his hand smacked and a brief scolding (tone of voice is always important). Once this is done, THEN you can proceed to explain to them the dangers of a hot stove.

If your child is running towards the street after his ball, that is not the time to baby talk him or try and reason with his actions. It's the time to yell "STOP" and then paddle his little ass all the way back to the house.

Children crave attention, whether good or bad. Children need discipline. It prepares them for life because whether you like it or not, life is full of rules, regulations, and various forms of discipline. If parents can't get past that "don't give a shit attitude," they're doing no one any favors, especially for the child.

Years ago I was a manager for a local 7-11 and caught a kid shoplifting. I thought I would do the obvious thing and take him home and tell his parents what he was doing. The father proceeded to beat the kids ass right then and there, but NOT because he was shoplifting. Because he was caught! I will never forget that as long as I live.

"Daniel stayed here at our house with Sammii the odd night and, of course, it happened. You can't stop young couples when they're courting - if they weren't here they would just go somewhere else."

...I'm truly speechless. Even when my wife and I were engaged, my parents still made us sleep in different rooms when we were visiting them.

It's mainly that they're scared to spank their kids because, as you said, the kids have been trained to turn their kids in for "beating" them. I can imagine trying that line with my dad! He would've told me "If I'm going to jail for beating you, you'll get a true beating, trust me!"

My dad only hit me a handful of times, far fewer than I actually had coming to me. But the times he did were therapeutic. I can't imagine how much worse I'd have turned out if he didn't - it's bad enough as is!

My 20-year old nephew has a 1-1/2 year old baby girl with his now-wife. They just got married this past summer.

Even after they had the baby, they weren't allowed to sleep together in one room in either of my sisters' houses. Not until they were married could they do that.

However, the gf's parents let them sleep together at THEIR house as soon as he was 18 and could stay over there without his mother's permission. That, of course, is how the gf got pregnant - right under her parents' roof.

Her parents didn't want them to get married; they wanted her to stay single and get government cheese instead. They thought the freebies were more valuable than the baby's parents being married. Luckily my nephew convinced her and they're now pretty happy, though a young couple trying to make it is tough.

He stepped up because he was taught that way. A lot of 18-year old boys would have been happy to run the other way. He cherishes his daughter and is a wonderful father, because he was raised the right way.

He didn't get beaten, but he got spanked now and then. Not too often, because he was smart and usually learned the first time. He got the spanking, then the explanation, as Mark described.
