TXCountryboy Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I was talkin to a buddy of mine who was complainin to me about some discipline problems he's havin with his boys (9 and 7). Some of what he described to me sounded a little bit like "boys will be boys" stuff, in other words no big deal. But most of it sounded like the kind of stuff that could be cured with a trip out to the woodshed and a wide leather belt. Don't get me wrong...that's not my first line of defense with mine either. I try all other options first but if the message aint gettin across I won't hesitate to get the belt. Maybe it's old fashioned but if I remember correctly it seemed to work just fine when I was growin up. What do yall think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrop Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 that type of discipline will make you straighten up quickly. I recieved a few wood shed moments in my day and I probably deserved every priceless moment with the old man....LOL. now that I have kids of my own it breaks my heart to have to do it but when nothing else seems to work then i guess its time to pull out the very last option. OH NO NOT THE WOOD SHED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goinghuntin Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I can remember a few of those moments...and though I hated every second of them at the time I'm sure glad they happened. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Oh yeah, my parents didnt spare the rod. I spank our girls too. I dont like to do it but I know its necessary.

dbHunterNY Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't have that problem yet, but I remember, when I was little, the belt doubled up and pulled tought made a nice crack that got my attention. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzilla45 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Growing up in the suburbs we never had a woodshed but I still got my fair share of whoopings but only when deserved. I know they straightened me up when I needed discipline. I remember one time when my mother was using a wooden spoon on my backside and she hit me so hard it snapped in half. I started laughing which only made her even more mad. She only used the spoon so I just ran off with only the one hit laughing at her with my brother. That happened about 20 years ago and to this day I still bring it up to her. She claims it never happened but my older brother was a witness.

Tominator Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Starting a spanking regimen at 7 and 9 might be tough. 9 or 10 is about when I stopped spanking my kids because they knew by then. I spanked my 8 year old about 3 months ago for lipping off to his mother and I, and prior to that, I can't even remember when I spanked.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 The most feared words of my youth were "Son, go to the peach orchard and cut a switch." :surrender: And woe be unto me if I did not come back with a specimen suitable for the application at hand. I think the psychological impact of having to go out and select the instrument of my own punishment was at least, if not more, effective than the punishment itself. In my opinion, love and discipline need to be administered in equal doses. Neither by itself will produce the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I dont have kids yet, but I dont have a problem with it. I got the belt a few times when I was little. Dont think I ever got it past 10 or so though. It straightened me out. Spanking works for sure and there is nothing wrong about it in my opinion.

TBow Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Just like Russel Peter's (stand-up comic) father says, "Somebody gon'na get a beatin"! And when the child uses the threat of calling Child Care Social Services, Russel Peter's dad says, "Yes maybe I'm gon'na get in trouble with the authorities, but it's gon'na take them 20 minutes to get here, and in the mean time.....SOMEBODY GON"NA GET A BEATIN"!

Adjam5 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yup the spankings and slaps were frequent in my household also growing up. Never saw most of them coming either....TWAP! Mom was quite accurate with that slipper across the house:D. I have some broken wood spoon stories too. I learned to fear first and then love/ respect came from that fear. My boys got their fair share of slaps on their butts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Got my share of the board of correction too. If you try to use the Dr Spock method be sure to buy the hardcover edition they feel it much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Sauceman Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Lost art for sure I was privileged to several outings to the back of the wood shed, the side of the wood shed, the front of the wood shed, inside the wood shed, on top of the wood shed and guess what? I never wound up UNDER the wood shed. It hurt but did not kill me...know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
