You can’t allow people to get away with things that are completely over-the-top and outrageous. If you allow your 2 year old to smear the contents of his diapers on the wall of your living room, if you allow your 14 year old to light a joint at the breakfast table, if you allow your hormone-addled 15 year old daughter to slam the door of her bedroom and give you the finger, you’re gonna get MORE OF IT. And those kids are gonna wind up in rehab. It’s not good for you, and it’s not good for them. No, there has to be a point at which dad comes home. Yeah, that’s right. Dad comes home, and he’s pissed. Dad is pissed. He’s not vengeful, he loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them, because they’re his children and they live in his house. But he’s very disappointed in their behavior, and he’s gonna have to let them know. He’s gonna have to say “Get to your room right now, and think about what you did.” And when dad gets home, you know what he says? “You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not gonna hurt me more than it hurts you, no it’s not, I’m not gonna lie. This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl.” And it has to be this way. It has to be this way, cause it’s true. And you’re only getting it better when you take responsibility for what you did. That’s not set in the spirit of hate, it’s not set in the spirit of vengeance or bigotry. Far from it. It’s set in the spirit of justice, which is the purest and best thing there is. And without it, things fall apart.
