MegaMom tagged me last year (gasp! was it that long already?!) to answer the question, “To Cane or Not to Cane?
My response:
We do not really use the cane. I have one which I bought years ago, when it was only Trixie and the two younger ones weren’t born yet, but I rarely use it. On this piece of light wood, instructions are written on how this can be used. Here is a part of the wood:
I have forgotten about this until one day, my hubby insisted we move the bed a bit so he can get his puller which we use to pull out his white hair. And I saw that the wooden piece was there.
Of course, I got it and the children were eyeing the thing like it was some sort of a witch’s contraption. When they don’t wear their slippers,when they play rough and one or two cry, and when they just about annoy each other too much, I bring it out to show them and tell them I mean to use it on them, they keep quiet.
But times have passed and they have ignored my warnings. And when I couldn’t hold my patience while I’m grinding my teeth to its roots, I thought of something new. I found a new weapon. The digicam. How? I tell them I will take their photos or even videos and I will put these in my blog or even YouTube for all the world to see. They stop. Tee hee 
Now, Mitch, Bang, Cookie, Chateau and Cess, its your turn to answer: To Cane or Not to Cane?
