I agree 100%.

My wife and I have four really good kids.  God has blessed us greatly.  However, my wife is a counter. She tells the kids "I'll give you to the counter of three" to do whatever.  I was the spanker. If one of the kids gave us grief, I warmed their backside.  The kids would/still argue with my wife over anything and everything.  One day she asked me why they don't argue with me. I said, I almost never change my mind once I make a decision and if they argue with my decision there was he** to pay. She still does not get it.

I guess that is why God made moms and dads.  It's too bad a lot of kids today only have one.
