[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 897988, member: 12570"] The task of rearing a child in today's world is perhaps the toughest that it has ever been. Life was so much simpler when my children were growing up and even simpler when I was growing up. The methods my parents used to discipline me were no longer acceptable when it came time for my ex and I to discipline our kids. The methods we used would be called "old school" by today's parents, who would rather be their kids' friends than parents. Also, the advent of social networks and today's technology make it that much more difficult to keep kids in line. Finally, the sad reality is that many of our children grow up in single parent homes and are often left to fend for themselves. Kids know what buttons to push and just how far they can push them. The daughter clearly baited her father who then clearly overreacted. I consider myself to be "old school" but I would never have thought of using a belt to discipline my 15 yr old daughter. [/QUOTE]
