Re: Cried even in my sleep last night
When I was a teenager, I thought my sister was crazy for the way she parented. We grew up Dobson, and she is an AP, gentle, almost unschooling parent. I definitely said (not to her, of course) how she was ruining her kids and how I would never be so "lazy" when I had kids. I was just repeating what I heard, unfortunately. I bet those teenagers are hearing that same kind of talk from their parents. Hopefully they will grow up and remember your words, just like I did, when they begin having kids of their own. I believe every little voice adds up, so even if you don't stand on street corners and shout at people all the dangers of spanking, you are one more person who raises her children in a different way. You are adding to the voices those kids will hear that tell them there is another, perfectly normal and acceptable, way.
