Thank you for backing me up. That's what today's good parents need from the rest of the world. Too many people ridicule and belittle parents for taking the time to discipline their kids when they act up. Would those complainers prefer those wild, out-of-control monsters keep being disruptive, even if they break something and/or hurt someone?
Those complainers haven't had to live with those kids. Also, ignoring problems doesn't make them go away, and many things that are unpleasant in the moment can really pay off in the future.
