Whats with the off topic bash on offshore workers and those in the navy or military for that matter? Funnily enough some of us weren't already retired when we decided to have children and your occupation has never been an indication of your parental ability. Clown

I'd like to see you say that to my face.

I don't even know what you're talking about. I had kids in my 20s/30s. I don't retire for 15-20 years.

I never bashed offshore workers. I used to be one myself. No comment on those who joined the military but I never bashed them. Please read the post or ask someone to explain it to you.

Hitting your kid with a stick or coat hanger is pretty common in most of all of Thailand. You could jail most people in this nation for doing it at some point in time.There has never been any leadership in this nation. TV could have so much positive information about raising kids but there's only propaganda and soap operas (and music) about only love, love love. No meaning in anything mainstream. The media here just doesn't get it. You need to change the culture and that won't happen easily.

I would never hit a child, but there is a big difference between a quick slap on the backside and beating a child 'black and blue'.
