I'm 31 years old and still can't cry at appropriate times. Hell I barely emote when I should. All of those switches and belts helped the behavior but not the development.

And for those of us that got popped and still came out fucked up, then what? I got cousins that were taught to behave in public and still came out shitty. So I don't buy it.

My hope is to raise my kids with those same ideals, but different tactics.
