How I was raised:
Yes Maam, Yes Sir. No Maam, No Sir.
If a neighbor called my mom I was whooped
If it was really bad she handed it off to my dad and we knew we were dead.
If anyone complained about any of us and it got back to my dad through his work we were really really dead.
Respect.
This was me and my friends on the playground in the late afternoons. I remember it as clearly as day.

I got in trouble once when I was about 8. I wasn't raised to speak like that but I was taught to be kind, respectful, and helpful to others by my parents' examples.
As I grew up, I realized my parents weren't as mean as I thought they were. My friends' parents, different story. I saw too many hard slaps across the face from father to teenager, boy or girl. Breaks my heart still to remember that. My dad, by the time I was old enough to get in trouble, realized the way he'd disciplined my siblings was too harsh.
I hear parents say some awful stuff to their kids these days and they don't deserve it.
