I am not opposed to a belt whipping either. I got them when I was a kid and I am not scarred, don't hate my parents, etc. and can say I deserved every belt whipping I got.
THIS kid? How often does he hear you comparing him to the "favored child?" They don't even have to hear you -- they can sense it. My opinion is that he has been given the message that he's the "bad" kid so he might as well ACT that way.
