First of all, let me say this. Stepparents should not be disciplining their stepchildren. Both partners need to get that straightened out before they get married. They need to come to an agreement on the type of punishment if the child is out of control. But after they make an agreement then the biological parent issues the punishment.

I am tired of step children getting the worst of it from the step parent, and I think the biological parent needs to step up to the plate and protect their children. If that means a divorce then get a divorce.

Like the message before mine says, you only have that child and that child needs to be protected, you can always get another spouse.

I sincerely believe that there should be parenting classes and people need to get those classes before they get married and have children. I have some friends who have a child and the child is only 9 months and the grandparent and parent think that they should slap the child's hand when it picks up something it shouldn't have picked up. I said that's wrong. Children are learning by what they feel, taste, and see. If you don't want them to pick something up then put it away. They think I am wrong. Excuuuuuse me!! I don't think so. They say she knows she shouldn't be doing that, because she is advanced for her age, huuh?? I just don't get it and it makes me angry and I want to just leave the house because I want to ring some parents necks.  Well, I could go on and on but I won't because a may just go over and slaps some parents of small children. I didn't grow to be 60 without learning something. Pleeeeasee!
