I am Chris's mother. I didn't discover he had been posting to this site until today when I was looking at his 'Internet History.' You all must think I am a really mean, grouchy mama. Chris's dad and I love him very much. He is the joy of our lives!
We are what you might call strict, or old-fashioned, parents, though. Chris has had some special needs and challenges in his life, and we believe he will benefit from consistent, structured rules, firm discipline, and a lot of love. Yes, we do spank Chris when it is necessary, and we did change from using our hand to a paddle when he turned 13 last month. We never spank in anger, though, and we always talk to him beforehand to explain why he is being spanked. We do not like spanking him any more than he likes being spanked, but we are trying to raise Chris to be a responsible young man.
Chris seems to enjoy chatting with the other kids and teenagers and reading their experiences on this site, so I will allow him to continue to post here but will monitor his posts. However, Chris is grounded for the rest of the weekend and will not be back on the computer until at least Monday.
Thanks to everyone who has welcomed him on this site. It means a lot to him and to me. If anyone has any questions for me, I will read them and try to answer them. Thanks again so much!
