It's all worthless anyway. I don't have kids. Everyone thinks they know what they are going to do and how they are going to be until they actually have them. That's why it scares me.

The punishment should fit the "crime"... but it should also fit the child. We never really had to spank Ethan. He does it to himself if we raise our voices at him, lol. But he understand when we tell him not to do something we mean it, and we'll get onto him if he keeps on... Or we'll let him learn his lesson if it won't seriously injure him. (Hot pot is hot!)
I got spanked when I was a kid too, and my mom (never Dad, but that is a different story) would always explain to me why I was being spanked. [Most of the time I knew anyway, lol].
I find myself doing the same thing to Ethan. I make sure he understand why we are upset and why we are punishing him. He gets it. The next time we have to get after him, we'll likely let him choose his own punishment.

Chose his own punishment, of what choices?
No ice cream after dinner or No TV time before bed?

I'm all for properly punishing your children, but allowing them to pick the punishment is a lot like a murderer being caught and then choosing a 25 year stay in the Bahamas as punishment...
Because the Judge didn't want to be mean, and felt that the murderer could chose something fitting.

Those are mighty close, lol. No cookies after dinner or no Minecraft until the next day.
Then once he wisens up a little bit, we will have to adjust things accordingly, lol.

You make the punishments "equally" deterring.
Give him 25 years hard labor in the desert prisons, or 25 years at Club Fed stuck wearing Hello Kitty prison wear. -

I've met her close to a dozen times.. other than the very first time (she was totally wasted/hangover) at SDCC 2006, she was totally cool. She really likes what the 501st did for charities, etc.

Latest scuttlebutt from Twitter is that she has stabilized.
