All in the parenting....the 18yo seems like it went ok, the other one, just needs a different approach, he may be handling the situation differently than the 18yo. *** whoopings have their place but, most people do that because its easier than thinking it through and figuring out something different. Mine are 23 and 15, after the first one, I've learned its all in the word choice and how it is presented and the choices given, in 15 years I still have yet to feel the need to beat my sons *** for something. He is either smart enough to avoid the stupidity or he owns his mistakes and feels bad for them, admits the wrong in it and learns from it. *** whoopings teach nothing. I have a dumbass relative that can back that up. He still does stupid things knowingly, always had his *** beat the most of all of us. The parent(s) have to set everyone up for success, that's our job!
