If I beat them for it, they wouldn't remember who got the orange juice out of the fridge or who's idea it was to take it in to the living room and pour it in to their mouths and spit it all over my newly professionally cleaned couch (professionally cleaned washable marker and chocolate chip cookie face smear only weeks ago)
They would remember being beat and would learn how to treat others this way though.
???
wouldn't they ?
tell me it would change who they are.
that it would cause them to grow up and become serial killers and drug addicts.
that by not spanking their little tushes I'm saving the world from disaster and destruction in my own little way.
tell me. please. TELL ME !!!!!

Ryan is in time out because he seems to wake up if the wind changes direction lately and after only sleeping for 15 minutes....and because it was HIM who I was trying to rock back to sleep when his brothers committed their crime. Mostly it was wrong place wrong time....the door closed and he too was trapped with the others :)
Don't they look sorry. ya, I didn't think so either.
