Search Results: son over me

Not me but someone's parents are old-fashioned when it comes to what is discipline.

Sometime in 2020, their then 16 year-old son stole money from his father and used his card to buy an expensive PS5. Prior to that, his father had nicely explained to him about the financial struggle and that he couldn't get him a PS5, that they were saving money. He was still giving tantrums, coming late to the house (even a bit drunk too), backtalking to both of them and the father was being more tolerant than usual. He kept protesting to be treated like an adult.

When the father found out what happened (after he received a call about a fradulent transaction on his act) that was the last straw for him. He grabbed his belt but actually gave him two options.
Option 1:
Give him a fair ass whooping he had coming for the longest and the stolen funds, followed by 2-3 months being grounded and get him to start working so he earns money.
Option 2:
Instead of the spanking treat him like an adult, report him to the cops for theft and he gets jail time, thrown out of the house and possibly a record. Afterall he wanted to be treated as an adult so therefore adult punishment.

He chose the spanking over the jail time and a record. If you were him would you have chosen a spanking or jail time?

Even if you don't have the correct reproductive organs to give birth... If you COULD, what would you choose?

5 weeks ago, I gave birth to my first child, a son I named Merlin, & did it natural.
My preferred birth plan was to go natural, have a water birth & only have an episiotomy if the doctor recommended it.
Well, I got to do it natural, but the hospital I was at didn't have birthing tubs, but I had very supportive nurses on duty & my doctor told me he was going to do the episiotomy after my son's head wouldn't rip me after being RIGHT THERE for 2 contractions.
If I'm being honest, I caved once the third contraction occurred & asked for an epidural. The nurse told me that they would bring the specialist to the room, but they couldn't promise that I would be able to get the medication. I didn't end up getting the epidural, my son was practically out of me when the specialist arrived.
I'm very happy, now that it's over, that my son was moving so quickly that I couldn't get the epidural. I had completed my birth plan, partially, as I intended. I was proud of myself & couldnt believe how AMAZING I felt after it was all said & done.
I couldn't, & still can't, believe I had pushed out an 8.5lb, 22in baby & felt better than expected.
If I were to get pregnant again, I would go natural again, especially after what my nurses informed me of how labor is different from natural & the epidural.
My nurses informed me that there are fewer & fewer people coming in & saying they want to "try" going natural, that there is absolutely zero shame in changing your mind & asking/getting the epidural later! Active labor HURTS! Many people who do go natural only go through with it because it is too late to even do the epidural, as was my mother's case when she went into labor with me.

So, what would YOU do personally?
