In the 1950s, discipline meant respect — not resentment. 👏

If you talked back, you faced consequences — not a “conversn.”
Kids didn’t negotiate bedtime, and parents didn’t fear being called “toxic.”
When a teacher called home, your parents didn’t ask why — they asked what did you do?
It wasn’t perfect — but it built character, accountability, and gratitude.
Today, we’ve traded “Yes ma’am” for “You can’t tell me what to do.”
We’re raising children who fear nothing… and respect no one.
Discipline isn’t abuse.
Boundaries aren’t trauma.
They’re the reason entire generations learned how to stand tall, work hard, and keep their word.
Because love without discipline isn’t love at all — it’s permission to fall apart. 🕯️
