Yall white people are always tripping over spanking kids and I'll never understand why. Yall will let a child run all around a damn supermarket, grabbing everything, kicking and screaming and dragging themselves all over the dirty supermarket floors just because you won't buy them candy. A good spanking will solve that problem real quick. I never acted a fool in public because I knew there was a 100% chance that my ass would get lit up at home if I did. But whatever. Parenting is subjective I guess. BIG FAT AMEN TO THIS. ...sorry, white people.

The girl is not going to die or have a fucked up life when she grows up. Wtf. Some of you people are so fucking dramatic! I was spanked countless as a child, and I turned out fine. I love my mom (and dad, but he has died) to pieces, we have an amazing relationship, and we talk on a daily basis. You can't judge how a person is going to be once they grew up based on spanking.

I am not saying my parents beat me but I knew who was boss in the house and if I forgot that, they didn't mind reminding me. I am 28 now and my mom still has the wooden spoon that I sometimes got hit with.

I must have missed some episodes then. I have only seen them use the time out on the rug in the living room or they get sent to bed.

Now taking away TV/video games/phone? That worked like fucking magic. THAT'S why I hate spanking. You can't gain respect from a kid if you beat it in my opinion. Using 'him/her' instead of 'it' might help. But you really think so? I have tons of respect for my parents and half of it comes from the fact that I still kind of fear them. I totally agree. Having a slight fear of your parents is good. I was raised on it and it definitely kept me from doing anything hugely wrong. Was I cowering in a corner? No. But I knew not to act up or embarrass my parents because never emerging from the house again except for school and having everything I loved yanked out of my room was a definite possibility. Your parents aren't your friends. I don't think a lot of parents or kids get that these days. My parents are now my best friends in the world and are my conscience in most situations.

And that if you don't spank them, they'll grow up to be gun/knife/ax/chainsaw/etc toting idiots. I was never hit (and neither was my brother) and we grew up just fine--just as kids who were spanked have grown up fine. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to child rearing.

I don't think I read that anyone here said spanking is the only way to discipline kids. I sure didn't say that. I used it as one small tool in a large list of tools with which I taught my kids self-discipline. But it was an effective tool when used properly.

But a lot of people in this thread (and also ONTD, when this was posted) tend to go with the whole "A lack of spanking is why kids suck these days!" deal. And it's like, no, there are TONS of reasons kids suck these days. I'm not totally against spanking, but I'm not all for it either. I just think it's important for people to realize there are a ton of different methods to choose from, and nobody's way (pro or anti spanking!) is the right way. It really varies from child to child.

That sounds like I'm remorseful for ABUSE, and that's not it. I just wish that I had been able to redirect my children without the use of spanking. Maybe in perfect world, with perfect children and perfect mom.

Or when they do it for little stuff that's not even a big deal. To me, that almost signals some kind of an anger problem in the parent that could easily spiral out of control. Now it's the butt but if they are pushed far enough maybe next time it'll be the face? And because no one is commenting enough about Kate: A spanking because Leah was blowing a whistle and Kate was on the phone and didn't like it? Doesn't really sound that bad to me. She told her once to stop, but when she didn't she flew off the handle. Not cool. That's just the story we are getting so it's all I have to go off of right now, but spanking does sound very unnecessary in this situation.

I don't think a lot of parents or kids get that these days. My parents are now my best friends in the world and are my conscience in most situations. Agree with the underlined completely. Whatever method you think is right to discipline your child (spanking, time outs, removal of video games, etc.) is fine (as long as it's not abusive). But, damn, just make sure you actually DO discipline your child instead of just letting them do whatever they want without any kind of input from you. That is the problem nowadays. The LACK of discipline, not the methods used. You are not your children's friend. Your children do not have to 'like' you and think you're 'cool', but they damn well need to respect you, 'fear' you (not in a physical harm sense, but in the sense that they know you are the boss in the house, not them) and have a firm knowledge that when they fuck up, there will be repercussions from you. Dr. Phil puts it very nicely: you are not raising children, you are raising adults. Allowing a child to not any repercussions for their actions will get you a very obnoxious adult some day.

This way, all the little kids who are being burned, beaten and raped by family members will have even less attention. It's terrible how many kids have died from fatal injuries suffered from a spank on the rear. Y'know what? I used to work for the social welfare agency in Kansas. The test for abuse was: "Did it leave a mark?" If it left a mark, the parent could be charged with child abuse. I don't know if that is still the standard.

White kids jumping from stool to stool, hispanic kids swinging on fixtures, doesn't matter. If more kids were scared of their parents they wouldn't be acting like that and they wouldn't turn into disrepectful tweens/teens. My mom beat my ass and I turned out OK. I knew never to act up in public or to ever, ever, disrepect an adult in anyway. I am stunned when I hear how some kids talk to their parents and teachers these days.
