Reminds me of the story:


I sincerely suggest you apologize to your 2 year darling now before she grows to become famous. Trust me, she will cry and forgive you.

Good morning

In my house the X and I had a standing rule.
Never more than three swats. Only by hand.

We also employed the time out method.

Spanking a child has a certain effect.
At 3 years old, a single swat to the behind has much more meaning to the discipline learned than a beating.

With 3 boys, I managed to control myself.
Granted when they got older it only took two hits to put my point across.
One crack on the head and one body hitting the floor.
You floor a teenager...they remember.

The reason for punishment should be to teach.
If you are getting pleasure from it, it is not teaching anyone anything except that your parent is sadistic.

To me, beating any child is bad parenting, at any age.
Perhaps you should examine yourself (but who beats you).

It is the parents JOB to teach the child.
If you have a child, you need to step up to the plate and accept the responsibility you have.

Frankly, your thread sickens me and I would want absolutely nothing to do with you if I saw you do such a thing.
WTF is wrong with you????

Spanking a child is overrated. My dad never laid a hand on me and I never laid a hand on my son and we both turned out good.
