Whoop ass!

Well, you can't exactly smack the child back, but you CAN certainly give the parent a solid verbal ass whoopin'. And in extreme cases, my kids step in. and will do something about it, but it's gotta be something pretty extreme.

Seriously. I'd be mortified if one of my kids EVER stepped out of line and hit someone in front of me. Not only would the child receive an epic verbal beat down, but they'd be forced to apologize to their victim and be marched straight home for an ass whoopin'. (Unless the person really deserved to get hit.) That's a behavioral thing that needs fixing. Seriously!
