I am not one of those folks. One or two swats on the behind is not child abuse and can correct bad behaviour. You know Maya and you know when she crosses a certain line. I don't think there is anything to feel guilty about.<BR/><BR/>I think that is what is wrong with a lot of kids today.

But I have enjoyed starting a new tradition here on the west coast with Linda and her familyTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07624198553775937553noreply@blogger.com
