The Rod
If you thought disciplining 19 kids would be trouble for Jim Bob and Michelle, think again. To ensure that their kids stay within the defined boundaries of what’s acceptable and not at home, they employ the help of The Rod. This isn’t just some flimsy switch they use to gently slap their kids’ hands either. It’s, in every literal sense, a freaking rod.
We’re all for physical punishment when it comes to disciplining children. In fact, if more kids were spanked, we wouldn’t have mumble rap. But if you’re swinging a rod at your son for, say, playing with toys with his sister, then we’ve got a problem.
