In my day my parents demanded respect, honesty, and truthfulness. If you failed to follow their rules you paid the price. There was no time out! You were grounded for a period of time determined by my parents. Do you believe in spanking and time our or some other forms of punishment.
No Spanking, No Time-Out, No Problems

Understand children? My parents had PhD's in understanding a child's mind. Get the strap or belt, go outside and bring me a switch (you brought in a dead twig, they go out and bring in the entire tree), get your father, get your mother, gimmie that, and a myriad of other catch phrases that let you know you're about to become one with pain. Time out, was AFTER they got done and asked "do you want me to give you something to cry for" or "take your ass to your room". It was never fast enough, and round two would commence. You KNOW it's been a bad session when your fathers sweating. I've had my ass warmed up, beat, tenderized, jumping all over the place, whatever you could imagine. But I've NEVER been to jail, done ANY bids, or been in ANY real trouble that a stiff fine couldn't be paid or community service didn't take care of. I finished HS, did some college, served in the Army (ok I admit being in the Army will lead to a few additional ass whoopins on paper, you wish were just physical). So somehow all those whoopins I took worked on some level.

Haha, this is so awesome because that's what I went through too. But to honestly it does help to instill discipline at home, and I think it's becoming a lost art.

I am pro spanking. I will not negotiate with my child, if he wants to act disrespectful and throw tantrums then he pays the consequences of getting a spanking.

yep. I made it very clear to my kids when they were very young that I was the boss and "my house, my rules". If you don't like it, get a job and move out. lol
