Steals a cookie. One warning. Steals another cookie. One tap. Steals a car. Gets no car.

Meh. As long as it’s rare and for good reason

Last time i checked pedophilia was illegal

[quote]I wanted to hear your opinions on this. [spoiler]For me, it’s a way you can punish your kids. As long as you aren’t actually hurting them, it’s ok to spank them. Anyone I’ve met who thinks it’s wrong always the spoiled rotten kids [/spoiler] Edit: And before anyone brings it up, THIS ISN’T THE SAME AS ABUSE. This is just a form of discipline and i Know the difference between the two[/quote] There is a difference. There’s also some things kids should not be spanked for IMO. I’d get asswhoopings when I pulled some serious shit on my parents but not for stupid mistakes or screamin in a store

Yes. I got the belt numerous times throughout my childhood, no more than a dozen or so times. Each time was warranted. I always tested the limits as a child, I knew what I was capable of and the resulting consequence but since then and even now I am always willing to take a chance. More oft than not I am rewarded with the desired result. If anything it taught me pain was only temporary, after the first few it never bothered me. I just assumed fair was fair, my old man got hip to it and instead also started withholding my bike and skateboard, one time yanking the batteries on my truck. To each their own, it is none of my bussiness how someone disciplines their child. Now if they do it publicly and it comes off as over aggressive like backhanding a child or punching them I will confront them. Never had to though but I would. My father never laid a hand on my sister, not even with the belt. Why because she is a girl, at that a daddies girl. I love my father, would kill for him, bury the body and never breath a word about said body while sleeping like a baby thereafter.

Short answer? Yes. It should always be the last resort though.

My 40 year old son doesn’t seem to think so and expresses his disapproval every time I spank him in front of his wife and kids.

Never

I acted bad from kindergarten one day and when I got home, my mom spanked me. Needless to say I never got in trouble in school ever again and did my absolute best to be on good behavior.

I don't find anything wrong with disciplining your kids. As long as you do it right. I was told to never do it out of anger. When I see kids smack the sunglasses off their mom's face I always hope that there's a smack coming back their way. I get disappointed when there isn't any. I don't like abuse. But sometimes you got to knock some sense into these kids. My parents and grandparents would never let me do any of that. I would have gotten my ass beat in front of everyone which was worse. But it was my fault. I was being a little shit. Sometimes you got to go there. Just don't stay there. My grandpa spanked us but he hated that he had to do it. Hell he'd cry along with us. And he was a big dude. I remember taking him to grandparents day at school and my fellow classmates would ask me if my grandpa was a professional wrestler. He was a great man. He was good with cars and building homes. My cousins and I wish we could at least be half the man he was. RIP

I don’t think it’s that bad, I’ve never had kids and never want them so my opinion might be invalid here, but I have had experience being a kid who got spanked. The main thing I remember about it after the first time was that I really wanted to kick my dads ass afterward. But I knew I was too small and wouldn’t stand a chance. So instead I acted like a stubborn, super passive aggressive little shit for a few days. I was only spanked a few times in my life, as far as the “formal” type of spanking as punishment, as in, I was told I was going to get spanked, and told to bend over the edge of my bed, and then slammed a certain amount of times. It was never a reactionary in the moment slap or smack or spank, it was something I feel like my parents discussed and decided on as a punishment. I don’t remember the reasons I was spanked or how I reacted other than that first time, but once when I was 12 or 13, I missed the bus on purpose because I was getting bullied in school really badly by the guy who sat in the seat in front of me on the bus. So my dad sat me down and asked why I missed the bus, because he had seen me up on time and was mad that I came back inside without going to school. I told him I missed the bus on purpose hoping to start a dialogue about being bullied, and as soon as I said that he grabbed the hood of my hoodie and jerked it back really hard, kind of choking me and hurting my neck to the point I got a headache. He said “you better change your answer and change your attitude and stop skipping school” I said “The reason I don’t want to go is because I’m getting bullied all the time and I get beat up and hurt, but I see that staying home isn’t going to stop that so yeah you’re right I’ll just go to school and get beat up there instead.” My dad never laid a finger on me after that day and I knew it cut him deep. That was my intent. Later he married a Mormon woman from Thailand and kicked me out at the age of sixteen to let missionaries stay in my room, so I was homeless the last year of my high school. He moved to Thailand with her at some point and I haven’t talked to him in years. So I don’t know if spanking created a rift between us, was a symptom of my parents own troubles, or a desperate reaction to what an asshole I was (because I really was as difficult and shitty as I could be, on purpose, I can’t put all the blame on my parents). So as far as spanking goes, I don’t see it as that bad in the context of all the other things I’ve been through, but I don’t necessarily think it’s healthy either. Just one anecdotal experience, trying to put it within context, among other experiences. Not trying to say my experience should be a reason to decide one way or the other.

Spanking is okay. Never do it out of anger and/or when you are angry. And never do it for every little things.

Depends on their age and maturity level.

It is a NO when: 1) - Your child looks like Stewie Griffin. 2) - You use it as a second form of discipline because the Taser's battery is dead. 3) - When it is a Kid, but not YOUR Kid. 4) - When it is your Kid, but he has Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy. 5) - It is your Kid, but you adopted him from a Shao-Lin Monastery. It is a YES when: 1) - You said NO more than twice. 2) - If your child breaks something on purpose. 3) - If your child starts speaking an unknown language and it crawls onto the wall. 4) - When your child start sticking body parts into electrical components. 5) - When your child asks you for Fortnite.
