As I was growing up into womanhood, I made up in my mind that I wasn't going to spare the rod, but unfortunately I wasn't blessed with a child. Anyway, when I was young (6 or 7 yrs old) I remember getting the beating of my life and never ever dared to tell a white lie ever again. So there, it helped me. <BR/>Actually come to think of it, I would rather talk to my child and make him/her understand before I take the cane. I think my heart will break if ever I had to whack my kid. In my mind, parenting is one difficult task. <BR/>Reading your blog I think you are one fantastic mom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042293747770418180.post-8656985111237266012008-08-30T23:05:00.000+08:002008-08-30T23:05:00.000+08:00Dear Gina,Reading this post of yours, reminded me ...Dear Gina,<BR/>Reading this post of yours, reminded me of exactly what I did to my son one year ago, when he was in P2.<BR/>He came back with some Pokemon toys which I didn't buy for him. He lied and said he picked up from school. Then he changed his story to say he bought it. I was in the complete same situation as you. As he lied, I caned. As he changed his story again, I caned. I caned him so hard, he cried so loudly. My the other two younger children were watching, and fearing that I will hurt their brother.<BR/>Even right at the end of the confrontation & caning, I didn't managed to find out the truth. In the end, I only tell him to return to whoever who gave it to him.<BR/>Even though he is very playful, misbehave, even though I was really furious, upset and angry with him for telling lies, it was really painful for me to cane him.<BR/>It's not as easy for me to hug him, as it is for you to hug Melody. Unfortunate thing is, such incidents happened about 3-4 times since he entered P1.<BR/>Fortunately for me, it is better now. He knew the consequences, and he didn't do it again. I hope he will become more sensible.<BR/>I totally agree with "spare the rod, spoilt the child!"Passionate About Bakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02454478587314315169noreply@blogger.com
