@Tony, yeah discipline? I am the person I am today because of it. I also scoff at the people who say spanking their children will scar them for life! I got spanked countless times for being a whiny inconsiderate brat and I damn well deserved it. I am a better human being (perhaps that's my scarring, I'm not a brat today) because of parental discipline in my youth. @Maslab: My mother is the same way since I turned 18 and moved out. She doesn't care what I do, so long as it doesn't break the law or endanger me physically or financially.
