Teaching them what, exactly?Originally Posted by Rusty
Thinking of parenting as a fun time for "trial and error" is... interesting. I mean, yeah, it is a lot of trial and error, but that doesn't mean we should be proud to plow into this "sacred" think blindly. There may be no all-inclusive parenting manual, but to say there is no book on parenting is just untrue. No one's expected to read all of them, but I'd like to see just one written during recent years (child development wasn't an area of study at all until freud brought it up) that says smacking your child will accomplish anything other than maybe temporary results.
I'm not even going to comment on the "I'm going to raise my child like I raise my dogs" thing. xP
