Ahahaha I am one of those who will be glad that you're not the boss of the world because I won't let my son enter military service, I am the one who is afraid lol.
About discipline, yes I understand and respect your point. The spanking or beating that I mean is just enough to let the child know their mistakes but yes I will also disagree and will be mad to the parents who will cross the line and will do that much to the kids to the point that they need to bring the kids to the hospital. (Sorry I can't explain well my ideas in English)
Fair enough, unless he wants to as an adult and will do so whether you let him, or not.
Hahaha you're right again on that. When he is still young, I can control him but when he is grown up, he can decide for himself and all I can do is support and pray for his safety.
