It bit him in the ass, though, as she was a genuine bitch to him quite often.
I don't picture Gloria acting up enough in her youth for Archie to lay a hand on her, especially under Edith's protection. If they had a son, it would've been a different story. And as far as abuse - things have gotten so out of hand these days it would be considered abuse if you look at your kid the wrong way.

At Gloria? And, boy are you right, Fletch. Kids get away with murder nowadays.

When a kid misbehaves these days, it should be the parents that are backhanded for letting it happen unchecked.

The parents should be backhanding the kids. Lol.

Half of them should be backhanded for having kids.

Some of them are real scuzz balls.

There's no lack of scuzz balls. Opioids are here to stay.

Stay clear and shake my head whenever I see people with those distinctive pink eyes.

I'm sure Gloria being a girl had a lot to do with it. He lectured Edith more than once that a bratty kid should be hit, but he would've left Gloria's physical punishment to Edith, but you get the idea she never layed a hand on her. Judging from Gloria's behavior in season one, you get the impression she didn't cause too much trouble as a child.
If they had a son, that's when you would've seen Archie in punishment mode.

I was subject to it as a kid, but it was never referred to as "abuse". These days of powderpuff parents, kids" behavior wrongly goes unchecked.

"Like the bible says carry a rod, and spoirl the child, there."

I remember the line, but forget the situation. Was Archie supporting the phrase, or treating it with sarcasm?

cjh8504 — 9 years ago(December 28, 2016 03:30 PM)

Supporting, 100%
RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. 2016 is the worst!

I thought he was a believer in disciplining a child, not spoirling it.
