Parents, and those who plan on having kids....to SPANK or not to SPANK?

[Bikini Mod]

Agreed...

Any parent that "hits first and asks questions later" whether the blow be hard or not is an imbecile and is NOT disciplining. They are only making a feeble attempt to belittle and control, get out their own feelings of frustration based on thier own inadequacies.

Good Ole Methods were the best and kids used to respect people
I coach kids everyday and I met alot of the "Kid King" where dad and mom do anything to never counteract their even if they be Charles Manson.


Dont be affraidd to discipline your child.

Show them hell Marines!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when I was younger I was forced to sit in the back seat while my brother got to sit up front. I threw a tantrum, and started kicking my dad's seat to the best of my ability. He pulled over, got out of the car, opened my door, cracked me across the legs, and said "You want to cry? I'll give you a reason to cry". I never kicked his seat again.

And of course the infamous belt. I'm glad my old man did it to me when I was out of line. I got my ass squared away. He always had this trait to him that if he gave a stern look, then it would scare the shit out of me, my brother, and cousins without him saying a word.

I have every intention of raising my children the same way he raised me and my brother, when I have them.

Spanking if for pussies and your mommas......here's what I would do. Go get one of those vintage surplus CIA electro-shock interrogation chairs and strap your kid in that.

 

[Lifter4Life]

Spank, no. Intimidate so spanking never becomes necessary, yes.

Send them to 3Vandoo's children bootcamp! LOL

um.... so... everyone on this board is... indeed for punishing your children... whether it be physically or... mentally... Not particularly peaceful? But again... I wouldn't know... I don't have a child... There surely must be someone who doesn't punish their children!?

 

[HumorMe]

But again... I wouldn't know... I don't have a child...

Ding, ding, ding..........you are so right! Post about your disciplining regiment when you do have kids. I would be interested in knowing.

Not flaming but there is more to it if you haven't experienced it yet.

My parents thought it was completely silly to try to "talk things out" and reason with us when my sister and I were little. Plus we were shitty listeners and it wouldn't have worked. If anything, when my mom tried that, we'd manipulate the system.

We got spanked when we were bad. Did we enjoy it? No. Did we learn? Yes. I see kids that run around talking back to their parents and acting horrible-- running around ruling their parents. NO WAY would I have done that. I'd say something and instantly know it was not appropriate and that I'd likely get smacked. I have no issue with a parent doing that in a controlled manner.

Should I go home and reason with the ferrets if they have an accident or eat soap?? I think not-- but they learn when they get a smack on the backside.

ferret woman!
