Ilang beses na ako nagulpi but I love and respect my Dad more than any man in my entire life! I asked my friends and almost all of us experienced corporal punishment (born 70s and 80s).
Here where I am, I can raise my kids as I see fit. I raised kids the simple way. They don't get much praise unless they're really deserving of it. They also know if I raise my voice (like a drill sergeant), they screwed up bad. If they take their mistake a little too hard? I'll comfort them. You know, tell them it's not the end of the world and learn from it. If they act bad? There are consequences. I rarely make promises. But, when I do, I keep them.

One pet peeve I have is teachers in schools elsewhere (like California) teaching a course so controversial that they encouraged their students to keep it secret from their parents and made stipulations that forbade parents from finding out. I already let my kid's teachers know how I feel about such things. They attempt such a thing and they'll have lawsuits coming from multiple directions.
