It should be the collective responsibility of both parents to train their child/children...apportion punishments according to their wrong doing...not by beating them for every offence...but in this case, the mother is always quarreling with the father for what she calls treating their child like a slave...the boy is growing up now and is always eating his cake and having it...BREAKING QUESTION OF THE DAY...Is it right for one of the parents to take sides with their child/children in matters of discipline...what becomes of such child/children???
