@ CherryTAP is taking a beating (no pun intended) in his Mumm on
"To discipline or not to discipline? That is the ?????" when referencing the ability to discipline another parent's child. I think many are immediately considering disciplining to mean spanking, a slap on the wrist, etc.
This was my comment on his Mumm:
When my daughter was 18 months old, I had a roommate who had her 4 yr old son living with us. The 4 yo old reached up for my crystal candlestick holder (value $200) on the mantle in a rough manner and almost broke it into pieces. Luckily, I was able to intervene and save the candlestick holder.
The child? I told him, "No, you shouldn't grab things off of the mantle." My roommate told me that I was not to discipline her child.
I looked at her real funny. I felt that I had every right to tell him, "No!" Don't you???
So, what do you think. Would you have a right to discipline the child or not????
