I agree...and I have problems w/ both groups. If I had a kid (say around 8 years old) who said "You better respect me" I would probably break my policy of non-spanking. I hate to say it, but most of the children I know are little sh*ts and deserve a good dose of discipline (tho not necessarily spanking). I want to tell some parents "Hey your kid won't melt if you tell them 'no', 'be quiet' or 'sit down'." Yet another reason I dont' want kids...
And what's wrong w/ respecting older people? While it freaks me out when high school kids call me "ma'am" I know that 9 times out of 10 they won't give me any lip or problems. It used to be a mark of honor to get old.
