Default Re: psychological torture as 'creative correction'

As far as making the mom's bed for her. Like Chris said, maybe if it's about learning to 'serve' other people. But in a dynamic like the writer is setting up, I do think it would breed resentment. I think there's lots of other ways to encourage 'serving' in things that benefit the entire family - like helping with laundry or dishes or whatever.

The POW training did envolve 'slave labor' - we were trained to try to figure out who ultimately benefited from the labor and act accordingly. If it would only benefit the captors - excavating land to install anti-aircraft gun, for example - we were trained to sabatoge it at any cost. If it might benefit us, the captives - shelter or food or a way to escape - we were trained to take care of ourselves. In the training exercise, we didn't have the theat of physical harm.

In Ms. Whelchel's dynamic and in real POW dynamic there is the ever present threat of physical pain. Her book is (as far as I can tell) presented as options so you don't have to spank as much. But the physical assault is there as a threat and a backup if the children don't want to comply to the other punishments.

more later.... son calling.....
