Rhamah @Rhamah (42) • United States 21 Feb 08

bluereddog1990 I would and have spanked my children. I have 5. With some it worked, and with others it didn't even bother them, if anything, it made them madder. Spanking can be a form of discipline as long as it is not abused. I have learned what works for one does not...

bluereddog1990 My idea would be like if you were to stay over at someone's house for the night or two. They give you a separate room to sleep in, clean bed and linens. The day you are to leave, you could strip the bed make it with a new set of sheets, vacuum the floor or...
