Opinions on spanking?

These. It was so weird that my parents would buy these for me and my brother and then when the rubber band broke, it became theirs, and they would spank us with them. I never wanted a new one. But really, I'm okay.​

 

It seems like most of the people around my town with kids that are like 5-8 yrs old already are the "don't spank because it ruins your children", but everyone my age and a couple years older say they will spank their kids or do spank their kids. I'll be honest, my generation is kinda messed up, but at least the majority I know are gonna actually discipline their kids.

 

I think people nowadays are to soft!! I got my ass beat and my friends did too and we drank water from a hose and we all turned out fine

 

X2 on the hose water. Hell, we were thirsty. Then again, there are those extra toes that sprouted from my left foot....

 

Got spanked here and drank hose water...lol no issues yet!

 

I got spanked as a kid , and I turned out normal .

 

Spanking is like the mama wolf who bites the neck or ear to assert dominance and maintain order. If you're using it to inflict pain, or get out your anger, you're not spanking .. you're beating.

 

Mmmmmm, hose water

 

Heheheh, it ain't hose water unless it taste like a hose !!!

 

You call that normal?

 

Coming from you that seems like a trick question .

 

How about from him?



"You call that normal?"

 

this. Unfortunately... I do not see enough parents giving their kids a swift swat to straighten the little brats out. I never got away with kicking and screaming in the middle of a store.

 

Hold parents responsible for poor parenting...What a concept.

If we can only do this in the education system!

Here's one. Welfare recipients are welcome to their monthly check, providing their child is successful in school. If their child is failing, receiving referrals for poor behavior, or just not willing to cooperate, then the welfare stops until the child demonstrates approrpiate skills.

 

I've had many a wooden spoon broken over my ass. And I *twitch* turned out *twitch* fine! *twitch*

 

When I was a toddler I was crying and screaming in the store and my mom warned me that if I kept crying she would stick my sock in my mouth. Well I didnt and she took the sock right off my foot and stuffed it in my mouth. I dont wear socks anymore... J/K. My dad would show us his hand (open hand, fingers tight together) and ask us kids what it was, our response was 'a spankin tool'. I was spanked when I was a kid and I turned out normal, I think.

 

I love it "a spankin tool" I am going to teach my son that. If they know what it is then the need to actually hit should be less.

 

Well it looks like 90% of us got beat and turned out ok..
Would be interested to see what this poll results would look like if posted in the "Nissan Leaf" or " any hybrid forum?

 

I never got spanked. I got put in "time out," which was on the stairs and a timer was set. I don't have a problem w/spanking. But I agree w/everyone here, beating and spanking are two totally different things...

 

I spanked the monkey and she lost her mind....but she could still sing opera.
