Good Times Moment when James should have had MORE SENSE

[TVFactFan]

In the ep "Crosstown Buses" was he really going to beat Michael's ass with the Belt IN FRONT OF THE PRINICIPAL if Florida had not stopped him?-lol I mean i know he was upset to find out that Michael signed their name and never told them about the school but you don't take off your belt and start chasing your child around while the Principal is still there. james should have known better

James was "old school," he didn't give a damn who was around.

That's why I loved him. Parents just aren't like that anymore. My father was that way.

With James though, the simple act of him removing his belt was enough to instill fear into his kids. He didn't need to actually use it, since the kids had a sampling of his belt before, they knew what WOULD happen.

I remember my father, when he would take off his belt, my brother would instantly stop doing what he was doing, or do what he should be doing. I was never hit as a child, because I saw how my brother got in trouble with that belt, and that was GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

I can remember when I was 6 and I was acting up in the Grocery Store, and my mom tore my butt up in the middle of the store. That was the last time I acted crazy in public

I threw a fit in the store, and my mom don't play, my 2 daughters know now at an early age that my mom doesn't play, when she says stop or no she means it. My mom is the kind of mom who would spank other people kids who acted up that would spend the night at our house. Yet all of my friends loves my mom for some strange reason my house was the hangout house while I was growing up.

That's a good point. With my siblings and I, it was the wooden spoon. Not that our folks needed to use it that much, but once we got out of line, all they had to do was mention "wooden spoon" and we'd stop whatever it was we were doing wrong!! The sting of a wooden spoon on your bare behind will definitely instill fear in a person.

Funny story, but obviously a lesson learned. Too many kids get away with crap.

That's right. I think a lot of today's kids would learn well from a wooden spoon.
