Wasn't that how it used to be done..the father would put the naughty child over his knee when he came home from work...I think I was parented by a man who experienced that...it made him chase me from the living room up and half way up the stairs to smack my bare legs a good few times in a total rage ...that made me the father I am...I think my grandkids upbringing will be peaceful.
