I agree with Bruce. Congratulations to HC for being conscientious enough to raise smart respectable responsible children, even at a young age.
There were 5 of us kids growing up and we were raised zackly as HC says he is raising his. I raised my two the same. Spankings were not excessive but distributed as deemed necessary by the protocol set by me in our home. I will admit that by today's standards, I was rather strict. My children are now 28 and 24 and I've always been very proud of the way they behave, then and now. I could take them anywhere and be assured they would behave.
I'll never understand today's thinking on childrearing but I'm appalled almost on a daily basis by the way children act in public places. It's sad really.
Just my humble opinions, of course....
