I think its a bit much and I spanked my children. Using objects is going too far IMHO.

Not used nearly enough. When we were kids, my brother, sister, and I would hide my dad's belt from him. Granted, we never hid it for long. The threat of him using it on us worse after he found it was enough for us to give it back.

Usually Politically Correct = BAD
The belt is good. Applied sparingly. After it is applied a few times, just the brandishing of it is usually enough to diffuse a "situation". To answer you however, it is not used enough today. |

If you can't handle a child with an empty hand you really shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Unnecessary. Only purpose is to satisfy adults who feel powerless and frustrated with their lives, so get off on the feeling of power it gives them to hit children.

You damn right it worked for me, as well as a couple of backhands from my dad and some "switches" to the back of the thighs from my grandma. It only took a couple of times, from then on I had learned my lesson....and turned out pretty good...at least according to my dad!

Those who say that a spanking is not right are the ones who were spanked a lot as a child because they always got into trouble.
If You Spare the Rod, you spoil the child We all know what happens when you let something spoil, it goes bad. That's exactly what will happen if you spoil a child they will think they are going to get everything they want in life and will throw temper tantrums when they don't get things. You have to put them into check. This is why we have the problems we have today. Not enough people are spanking their children |

Never had one taken to me, and I've never (and will never) taken one to my children. Personally - I think it's over the line.

If you really want to get their attention use a switch. It don't take much. Yes I believe in spankings with whatever it takes. Children will naturally test the bonderies, it's your job to show them where they are. I think the lack of discipline is one of the major problems with the kids these days. If you can keep your kids in line without a spanking then fine. But if they need their ass's whipped, then by all means get to it.

If you spare the rod you spoil the child Yeah.... My Dad really got off on beating me. He beat me a lot, many times for no reason, always with an object of some sort. What kind of man beats a 18 month old? He has openly stated to me and others that I terrify him now. I wonder why? My Dad has always been a real fuck up. In addition to that, he has serious TPS and documented narcisstic personality disorder for which he was treated for years. He was OK when he was on his meds, then he went off of them, and now they don't work any more, so we are stuck with his stupid ass like he is until he dies, and he gets worse every day. He buys equipment he is too stupid to learn how to use properly, like his chainsaw for instance. See, if he reads the manual then that is threatening to his ego, and his personality disorder won't let that happen, so no proper technique or maintenance for Dad, and when it breaks or the tree falls on him which has happened twice now, it is the manufacturer's fault or the chainsaw designer's fault, but not his. When my 5 year old nephew came to visit, I told my Dad if he touched the chainsaw, even to move it, while my nephew was a round, that I would shoot him in the ass with my .45. He got that nervous look on his face like he does when I am around, and he didn't touch the fucking thing until the boy was gone, and I mean ten seconds after he was out of sight Dad says I have a "darkness" in me. I say, "I wonder why." He says I frighten people, I say, "No, just you, everybody else seems to like me." As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Abuse your kids and see what happens. BTW, you need to read On Killing by Grossman. Did you know that 100% of serial killers were abused as children? My dirty little secret is that I really enjoy terrorizing that insipid fucker. Payback is a medevac, eh?

I used the same thing on my kids as was used on me. Belt or switch. My kids only got a whuppin maybe twice in their lives. It worked on me and it worked on them. My wife was disciplined the same. None of us have ever been to a school principals office or arrested of have turned into wild eyed criminals.

There shouldn't be laws against corporal punishment so long as it doesn't go too far, but as one who was beaten severely and frequently as a child (with a paddle) no way in hell will I ever hit my future kids.
I think it does more harm than good, I hated and distrusted my parents for years. I see it sort of like I see abortion, it's not for me but I won't make that decision for others. |

SO many parents are failing... This doesn't implicate ANYONE in this thread (and I mean that), but for far too many parents, physical pain is the only tool they have in their toolbox. My daughter (7 years old) has been spanked less than 10 times in her life, and all were before she was old enough to remember it. Once she clearly understood commands, it was no longer necessary. My son has never had a hand taken to him. It's never been necessary. In my parenting style (and that of my parents, really) spanking is an absolute last resort. It's extremely rare. I've never used a belt, and I don't need to. Both of my kids are extremely well behaved, and it wasn't by chance. It's hard work, but I run into too many shit head kids that never had the rod spared. Ever hear someone joke about cutting a switch, and noting that the tree in the front yard was bare? I always wanted to say "Guess what genius, it means what you're doing isn't fucking working, you dolt". When the spankings don't reliably correct behavior, what's next, the rack? The problem I see with many parents is that they either beat their kids regularly and little else (with poor results), or they don't do much of anything at all (again, with poor results). |

Hate to paint with a broad brush, but EVERY person I actually have met who cringes at the idea of using corporal punishment has kids that act up, tear up, and refuse to listen to them.
If you are the exception, good for you. If you are able to control your kids without ever spanking them, great. Just don't think that everyone's kids are the little agels yours are, and accept the possibility that others may not think as highly of YOUR children as you do. Not all kids are wired the same. ETA: I just think it should be a tool in the box. Not every job needs a hammer, but have you ever tried to drive a nail with a pair of pliers? |
