bette1981 Excellent advice and assesment on him. He is VERY controlling... How did you figure that one? And yes, you're right, I can speak to him until I'm blue in the face... it won't help much at all. I will just ignore him if he starts popping off at the mouth....

bette1981 Isn't it funny how our society assumes that if you, the one holding the baby, are black, and the baby is white... you must have kidnapped the baby. But if the baby is black, and you are white, no questions are asked. It's pathetic and sad how our socity places...

Do you think it's ok to SPANK kids? Why or Why Not?

MothersWorkAtHome @MothersWorkAtHome (966) • United States 1 Dec 06

bette1981 I don't think parents spank their kids enough or they spank them too much to the point of abuse. It seems today like there is no happy medium on discipline. It's so sad. Yes, spank them in moderation and when their acts warrant such punishment.

bette1981 Shania Twain. Faith Hill is fake and a diva. Though some may disagree. Especially after that incident with her recently on that awards show. I think Shania's music is better too.
