: What's the best way to discipline an unruly child who knows no respect?
: I say don't waste time - put them in a home, but, meanwhile, are there any other recommendations that parents have implemented with success that perhaps I been too quick to over look?
: Replies from respectable, established, disciplined, genteel members of society preferred please.
Which will necessarily exclude anything useful. Making demands first of all doesn't guarantee they'll be met, and secondly, it doesn't show respect for the mysterious way in which your Creator gets his messages to you.
: Liberal "flower children" - please - do not suggest more "love".
Sounds a tad bit disrespectful to me.
: Love is and can *never* be "true" love without **RESPECT** established first.
Difficult work, Margaret. In order to manifest something, you must, in essence, be it. So far you've shared a picture of yourself as a damsel isolated in daddy's ivory tower waiting for the prince to come to your rescue. That's not respectful. That's downright degrading. How can you demand respect when you have none for yourself?
But even you are already forgiven.
OK? GOT IT?
