Re: Is this for real?
Posted by To Susan on 4/03/08

    Susan -- I have a couple of questions for you.

    1. Do you have children?
    2. If so, do you paddle them?
    3. Do you know any other way than paddling?
    4. HAve you tried any other behavior management method?
    5. If not, would you try?

    Regards,
    An onlooker that is pretty appalled
