Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child So Don't Get Surprised Why the Child Doesn't Grow Up Right

Try listening to this video and you may notice a couple of stuff that really show what's wrong with the typical family today. Take a look at what the parents are saying and you may find out why their son is turning out to be a horrible brat. They said that they've never spanked him as a child. He's had his way all his life. Doesn't that tell you that their rebellious son was spoiled all his life? He's not even ready to hear the word no. By not giving him the badly needed dose of Vitamin No when he was a child then the parents are reaping what they sow.

The problem is calling the father an "excellent" father. How can he be an excellent father when he spared the rod? You say you don't punish your child because you love your child. The Bible says in Proverbs 13:14 that true love requires discipline. You can always have discipline without love but never love without discipline. The father in this video admits that his son is not ready to hear the word no. He created a monster by not spanking and correcting his son as a child.

The mother is clearly brought to shame. Why did she have to raise it up right now that her son is clearly lying? Proverbs 29:15 says that the child left to himself brings the mother to shame. If they would have just disciplined him before then I don't think the mother would have this stress right now. She wouldn't even lock herself in her room to save herself from her rebellious son. It's safe to assume that she even failed to raise him up properly. Would have she spanked him and corrected him then she wouldn't have to do so in the future.

Also, if the girlfriend is really as manipulative as the parents claim then here's the issue. Did these parents even train their son properly to choose the right kind of girl to date? Proverbs 22:15 says that children are foolish by nature and that they must be corrected. They must be taught right from wrong because humanity is not basically good. If they trained their child to walk the right way then I don't think he would have the high chances of dating a manipulative girlfriend. Instead, by choosing not to discipline their son he is now easily manipulated by that woman. Now he prioritizes his girlfriend over his parents and they have no one else to blame but themselves.

So why are we even going against spanking? It's because secular psychiatry tends to focus on the natural goodness of people. It's stupid to say that there's no such thing as naughty children. If man were basically good then why do parent-child struggles exist? Why do we see parents having problems disciplining their children? Why do we see abusive parents here and there? It's because humanity isn't basically good. There's such a thing as bad children because of sin. Unfortunately, people today just want to ignore that sin ruined everything and focus on the "natural goodness" of man.
