i was lucky in that i never got that kind of upbringing. my cousin did, and it grieved me to see her turn around and give the same harsh beatings to her daughter. from what i see, that kind of &quot;discipline&quot; made it difficult for my cousin and her daughter to have an affectionate relationship with each other. </div></div>

It would be safe to say that most Jamaicans grew up with being flogged, and turned out well in spite of it. You would agree that, yeah we have the rmbunsious and grouchy few, but most Jamaicans are very affectionate people? </div></div>


i think more loving than affectionate...

to my mother who would not hesitate or give me a flogging in extreme cases ( i wouldn't call it 'child abuse' although nowadays these kids would have her arrested for less);
to my grandmother who was a strict disciplinarian &amp; believed in the value of chores...
now as a parent i try to draw something from each of them, but i have really come to appreciate my grandmother's views when i see these spoiled, whiny, lawless, undisciplined, rude, force-ripe yutes nowadays...
i've seen j'can parents who were too beating-happy toward their yutes but you can find that anywhere...
all this soft approach to today's yutes has produced a generation of thin-skin sissies </div></div>
