Spank your child for punishment?

[chrisoh]

my parents whipped me when I was a kid, literally i had to sit there with my hands out and they'd whack them with everything from the metal part of a flycatcher to a wooden spatula handle for 10 minutes, hurt like a bitch but I always deserved it and it set me straight, I support what they did now and I'm happy cause i think it made me a better man.

If my children misbehave I'll do the same thing.

beating the hell out of your kid is the only option sometimes.

Treat your kids with love and respect (to include punishment and when necessary, spankings) and you won't have to worry about this.

Couldn't have said it better.....My question to Turd is do you have kids of your own?

We spank our child. Thank God, we do not have to do this often cuz she's a good child.

There are times I just have to show her the home made paddle and it's enough to give her an attitude adjustment.

Hey, I guess it's better to spank 'em so they don't get handcuffed to benches at school. No kidding! School here in Toledo is getting some major crap from some parents whose kids got the' cuff to a bench so the school could control 'em !

You don't want to be in the situation where you are 60, they are 28, and it's payback time.

Think about it.

I 15 , him 43 , nailed him to the wall.

I spank my son and see nothing wrong with it. As long as you only spank them on the butt (they can't feel it through their diaper anyway) and aren't 'hitting' them.

It also needs to be used sparingly more to get their attention than anything else. Raising your voice or speaking sternly is great but they will eventually tune you out...

You know for a guy who has some very enlightened quotes you've just written something remakably stupid:

1. You only spank your son (gonna have some major issues there pal)

2. You only spank them on the butt (thereby humiliating them) but "they can't feel it anyway" ......... more to get their attention than anything else.

Ever try candy , treats , inducement , talkin blah blah.....?

This pseudo-scientific bullshit is contrary to common every day empirical evidence. We are a nation, that up until about 50 yrs ago, had no problem with spanking children -and do not construe this to mean any type of physical force...a spanking is not the same as a pummeling - and our ancestors were well adjusted mannered functional individuals. Today, in our psychology dominated setting, we have some of the most fucked up dysfunctional kids ever, many of whom are comatose from pharmacuetical mind control.

Explain this major discrepancy.

Being a man of science, shame on you: Correlation does not imply causation.

50 years ago, almost every child was part of a mellow nuclear family. They may not have known proper parenting by today's standards, but on the whole kids were better cared for relative to today, when many kids are born to underage mothers without fathers, etc.

You assume that everybody follows to a T the pscyhological guidelines for proper parenting. Heh, yeah right.

What is your idea of proper parenting?

I am not Turd, but I know him well enough I can answer for him -

Yes he has two. I'll let him divulge details if he wants to do so.

some very entertaining replies to this post.

my daughter is only 19months old and I couldn't imagine spanking her, i think it would hurt me worse. I once raised my voice at her and she just absolutely broke down in tears with all the huffing and puffing and short breath type crying, i felt so bad. But she's still too young to really know what she's doing. But I don't think I could ever spank her, even though I was spanked as a kid.
