Moon,

You are reading a lot into this article. As I said it was about firm discipline and good values and not about today's or the past drug culture. It maybe insulting to some of today's parents who let their children run amok. I don't care if it is or not.

What is insulting is a 15 yr old cussing you because you accidentally bumped into them and their parent standing there with a glazed look on their face.

My kids were by no means angels and got into trouble, tried drugs and alcohol. But they did know when Mom spoke they listened. I think all my kids grew up to be adults with the values I instilled on them. And being "drug" out behind the proverbial woodshed now and then did them and me (as a kid) some good.

Thanks for posting this...I indeed was "drugged" by my parents too. It made me a better person. I tried to do the same with my children but by then the moral fiber of our time had been ripped and other parents were listening to a different idea about how children should be raised. It is sad when we look around and see how lost and unhappy a lot of people are. To me, that is the "true" meaning of "the good old days". :|

Exactly !!

There is nothing more attention getting then seeing a 5'4" Mom giving the "look" to a son who is 6' 1" and seeing him snap to attention. And this is the same son who I took to the ground when he didn't do as I said.

I was one of those children that got "drugged". Thankfully all three of our children have turned out to be great adults. I hope and pray that I'll be able to say that about their children. So far so good, but Olivia is only 15 months. My two adult grandchildren are shaping up pretty good too. Their parents did a good job and yes I do tell that they did a good job.

Amen! I was drug by my folks & I then drug my kids. Did not hurt them 1 bit & they are fine adults now. Their kids are being drugged. LOL I am 5'3 1/2 inches & I still had my 2 boys reach over & grab their ankles while they got spanked @ well over 6 feet tall. When they did wrong, they knew they had to deal with Mom. It was just a common thing also that where I went, my 4 kids went & they behaved.

It is quite the sight to see......

A 6' 1" young man laying there on the ground, with his Mom glaring at him saying..."I told you to stand down and get back in your car." But, NO!! the snot had to start crap with the tow truck driver, that I had already sent back to his truck. This driver pulls a 25 auto on me, so I introduced him to my 9mm.....LOL

the cops arrived shortly after that. :P

How true. I had those same drugs as a kid and they made me a better person.

pojo

I'm glad I had the old drug problem too.

Too bad people don't follow the same plan today.
