When I was young and naive... I thought I'd never hit a kid of mine...
Then my first one came along and changed that. The only effective way of getting that damned kid to do something decent is threatening to hit him.
Reasoning doesn't work... he's stupid.
He shouldn't be stupid, considering he has two parents who went through engineering degrees in college and all, but genetics isn't only about the parents, apparently...
If I take away his rewards... he just just sits there, numb and dumb. And does nothing of what he should do.
Only through the threat of pain does he move to do what he must do, be it tidy up, homework, set the table, whatever. Luckily, he actually does stuff, but sometimes, sometimes... he just... arghghgh, it's like he's a teenager... a 10 year old teenager. Always arguing "why must I do this?" "why must I do that?" "why?" "why?" "why?".... after we've told him why for the millionth time, the bugger still asks why... now that I think of it, reminds me of enrico... stupid, I tell you...
