Stranger Than Most

by SUSAN LAUTZ

And no, I’m not going to write about that Michael Brown mess. All I can do there is to sigh and shake my head. No, I’m going to tackle something much more important -- my problem with how my kids discipline MY grandkids. (A vital issue, so far totally ignored by the media!) Don’t get me wrong. I think my sons and their wives are great—smart, hard-working, courteous. But every time the subject of child discipline comes up, they recoil from my ideas in abject horror. I don’t get it. It’s not like I’m suggesting they give their kids a time out in the Iron Maiden. I just don’t see what’s so wrong with a little thump on the butt or a little tap on the hand.
