They endured hardships, but no more so than the colonists who founded our country. They fought a tough war, and won, but no tougher than the wars before their time. But I don't blame people for buying into the idea of "the greatest generation," because they damn sure knew how to give themselves great press:

On topic; I am not an advocate for corporal punishment. I have not ever raised a hand (or any other whipping tool) to my children. But, I've come to understand I have taken more time to parent than the average mother today. My children are the greatest inconvenience to my schedule.
