It's becoming a sad sad world.
I always thought my father was over the top with his discipline but now that I see how many children are today I am grateful that when he was around he didn't hesitate to pull out the big guns (the belt).
I stole a strawberry and lied about it all in the same day, so he was really jazzed up. I got spanked with the belt but I have never stolen again and I can't lie. I just can't, the guilt is so bad that it's not worth it.
My husband does our check book and one day I bought some make-up and hair color at the drug store. That night he went to log it in and he just casually said "what was this for?" - and I said 'oh tampons and stuff' - I felt so guilty that within an hour I said, "I lied it was eye liner and hair dye and I'll give you $ out of my allowance" (we both get an allowance - like mad $). I didn't have to pay it back and he thinks I am hilarious
Some would frown upon my father spanking me with a belt (a long time ago, I'm 44) but I feel like I owe him a big thank you. I don't have children but if I did, I certainly wouldn't drive them up to a garage sale to steal something. If I found out they stole something they would be marching right back there to give it back, apologize and any other punishment I could think of. Like buy a toy with his own $ and donate it to less fortunate children.

It is a shame. Too bad to teach a child moral like that. Oh, that wasn't moral. That was stealing!

I appologize for anyone that this may offend, but yea, the dad has taken a double dip of stupid pills far to long.
