dg Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Re: Spanking? Yes I have been on the receiving end. By a slap across the face, a belt, limb switch on the back of bare legs, a paddle, and a bare hand. Deserved it everytime. And learned from it too. I've got 3 boys. And I'll light there butts up too when they deserve it. There is no "timeout" crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sagitarius Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Re: Spanking? My Mom used to use the wooden yard sticks like you got at the hardware stores on me. I didnt get it often but man o man when you saw that uard stick come out it was cause you had pushed the limit saw it and ran right by. The yard stick was a good tool though because the wood was so cheap that it gave a good audible crack when it hit and broke but didnt really hurt. I thank my mom for the way she raised me. I do think that there is a difference between corporal punishnment and abuse. When a kid gets spanked and cries abuse, I think that alot of that has to do with some deeper problem. Kids do have to be protected from abuse but spanking does have its place in dicipline also. It should be used as a trump card threatened but not used until abslutely all options have been exhausted.

texastrophies Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Re: Spanking? The one thing I noticed, and Tominator also, in this thread the two people who were more or less against spankings Jimt & Buckee, both have daughters. I have a daughter also, who does not live with me, and I can not remember ever spanking her. She just minds a lot better. Now my son, is a little different, he has a lot better manners than she does, but he also does not mind near as well. I do not consider a spanking beating or abuse, if done properly. If you use more than one or two swats on the back side, then you might be crossing the line, in my opinion. I guess what I am trying to say from my personal experience, both as a kid with a sister and as a parent with a son & daughter, and from friends experiences, the male gender seems to need a little more attention to correct the problem than the female gender. With my son grounding doesn't seem to bother him, if we take away his bike, he plays in the yard, if we take away baseball (which he loves) he will ride his bike or watch tv, take away the tv and he will play outside. I refuse to take everything away from him and make him just set in his room for a week or month or whatever. I strongly feel that he needs some type of outdoor activity available all the time. I do not want him to grow up doing nothing but sit in the house and watch tv, play on the computer or play nintendo games. For those of you who do spank your child, do you spank them in public, i.e. grocery store, mall, walmart, etc.? I do, I feel that if the spanking is deserved, then it should be done at the time of the crime. One of the main reasons I feel that way is because the "your gonna get it when we get home" usually does not happen, with me anyway, I get soft and let him off. Which in essence would have him thinking "he won't discipline me in public and then he doesn't when we get home, so I can go ahead and do whatever I want and basically won't get punished for it.". But there again, it has to be a spanking, not a beating, or the parent will have some questions to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted May 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Re: Spanking? i've never spanked in public. my preferred method of public discipline is the Mr. Spock death grip on the back of the neck. i came up with that at church, and only had to do it once relatively hard to each child except the baby of course. now all i have to do is lay my hand back there and they know i mean business.

dg Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Re: Spanking? I try to do the private thing unless it is really bad. Observers can blow things out of proportion. I guess we don't like our boss to tell us what we did wrong in public with peers. Kids are no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Re: Spanking? Was and do...... I've got 3 daughters and sometimes they can be as trying as any boy believe me !! If in a public area, and they get out of hand...a quick trip to the restroom usually get's their attention...very rarely have we had to spank them...it's been my experience that once spanked, they know to expect it next time.......but everynow and then they need a refresher, LOL!!

VtBowhunter Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Re: Spanking? When I ot out of line, I was sent to cut my own switch. Let me tell ya, just because the switch is small doesn't mean it will hurt less. I learned that one the hard way, lol. The worst I ever got was when I called the old man out. I never did it again, and hope my kids will never try to call me out, I saw what laying that tail whoopin on me did to my dad. I will use the hand to tail when it is needed.

Yes, when my 2 boys wouldn't listen to any reasoning, they got a good rap on the fanny! That was the end result of them backing me in the corner and not doing as they were told!
