Back in my day...

[Media Park]

Copped another one during the working day.

Kid, about seven or eight years, in the shop with his parents, and the kid called the father by their first name...

I can't even do that now without a clip under the ears!

My dad probably would let me get away with now but only because I don't live under his roof and I only see him about once a week, so we generally get along when we DO see each other. I wouldn't do it anyway, I'd feel too awkward!

Might be a step-dad.

Good point, Angus calls his step-dad by his first name.

Geez, if I bump into any of my old teachers I still call them Sir!

I had a very strict upbringing, I stand up for old people on buses, If I was naughty or answered back I got smacked with the wooden spoon and if I swore or full on yelled at Mum or Nanna I got fresh chilli in my mouth.

However ,I believe I'm a better person for it. Kids today are a rabble. Bring back the strap I say. (PS: I never had the strap at school )

We were given a good belting when we were kids and none of us are psychotic axe murderers

Bloody do-gooders who told kids they had rights are responsible for all this.

ADHD is a farce. Why can't you just accept your child is plain naughty? No, you CHOOSE to abuse your child by giving it the equivalent of speed just because you can't control it.

and people wonder why I don't have kids. I'd probably end up in jail for actually parenting them

I actually asked the "father" the question, being shocked as I was...

Workmates made that same point... shoulda thought about it...

Was the dad tho...

I smack Angus sometimes. I know my mum is horrified that I do - she's got some idea in her head that because my dad used to hit us heaps and lose his temper that I'm going to be the same - but I don't think that I'm a bad parent or abusive. I start off by talking to Angus, but if he keeps being repeatedly rude or starts shouting at me, I'll give him a smack. Simple as that.
