It took five years to get 'Parental Guidance' made, and it was a fight every second.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a military kid, both parents in the military - Mom did 12 years, Dad did 21, served in two wars. So discipline is something that was huge.
I guess I figured out my dad was a fight coordinator pretty early, because I always saw him running into walls and stuff and nobody got mad at him, but it took me a lot longer to figure out what Mom did, because it was usually stuff on the telephone.
We need to stop the erosion of parental authority.
In parenting, as in judging, the days are long, but the years are short.
My father taught me how to fight when I was 5.
It helps when 1 can send the children off to their fathers so I can support my new book with a national publicity tour. I started writing the book when my daughter was 5. It took me almost four years.
The thing about parenting rules is there aren't any. That's what makes it so difficult.
This whole head of the home thing has been blown way out of proportion. Some guys just take it way too far. Some parents take it way too far. Yet children need guidance. They need a parent to help and guide them. They also need a friend. They need a confidant.
It is sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being.
There couldn't be better parents than mine, loving yet strict. They disciplined with love. A child without discipline is, in away, a lost child. You cannot have freedom without discipline.
