One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters. ~George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs, 1640
I agree bitaw.
Whenever I was disciplined by my father, he would always comfort me afterwards and say, "I did that because I love you."
And you know, thinking about it now in hindsight, I thank him for latusing me when I was rebellious and misbehaving. Had he not done that I would have been destructive and ill mannered. Dad has a way of instilling patriarchal respect, but he is also naturally loving.
It is only whenever we rebel or argue with him that he corrects me and my siblings.
I wouldn't have it any other way. A good father is a disciplinary father, me-thinks. Love, but also rebuke when it is necessary.
