News Should Spanking be banned?

ok tell you what...you can go ahead and spank your kids...just don't be complaining to your wife that your kids arent listening to you..cuz that's the last thing i would want to hear from my husband. youre the one that spanked, its ur problem

I'll smack the shit out of my kid if that means either losing him to drugs or not

did you not read?? i said i will give them what they want as long as it is reasonable and they are good kids..it's not about the money either, money is nothing my household income is pretty high...and don't be putting crap in the "DEBATE AND RANT" if you don't want responses like that back!

AND what I do with my kids are my business...YOU asked for opinions ..well, you got it! what else do you have.

why would anyone care if i would homeschool my kids or not...YOU are the one that are asking all of these questions and bringing stuff up..if i want to spoil my kids because they are good, so be it...they are my kids.

According to my first post, i gave my opinion. YOU are the one that is making a big ass fuss about it. It would have been done with only my first post. And it's funny how it's only you that i am responding to cuz i did not comment on daCubanSkillz response after mines because i RESPECTED his response because it was his decision so i let it end there. obviously you are bored or something and just wanted to be an a**. but go ahead, i have the time. **and readers...have fun***

Like i had said, i don't give a crap if it was to be banned or not it all depends on the parents ..how do you raise your kids impacts them later on.

Heh you all know me. Sorry to bring scripture into it, but it is not to force anything on you, just to show you where I get my thinking from.

Pro 22:15 Foolishness [is] bound in the heart of a child; [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Pro 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for [if] thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Pro 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left [to himself] bringeth his mother to shame.

Sorry but I knew the wooden spoon well growing up. I think my Mother had stock in them. lol My parents did not 'beat' me per se, but they sure spanked me when I acted like a little shit.

It lets a child know that there are consequences when they disobey or break the rules; plain and simple. Talking to your children in my opinion is no consequence. They learn nothing. [EDIT--Only talking to your children I mean] Anyone take a Psych class before? Didn't one of the old dead guys (Maslow maybe) say something along the lines that a child does not develop the ability to reason until 6? Or something like that. hmmm. anyway.

In grade school up until I want to say 3rd grade we could be spanked. My mother had no problem with that. The Principal did not beat us, she paddled our butts. It worked on two levels: One you were embarrassed in class because the teacher took you out, so the whole class knew you were going to get spanked. Two, the physical humiliation (which you deserved) to humble you and snap you out of your rebellious attitude. (worked for me)

As long as I tell my child what will happen when they mess up, I will deliver the consequence always. I will always try to keep my word with them whether it be good or bad.



HERE'S THE ENLIGHTENMENT:
I think Parents cause more harm by not spanking their child and by going back on punishments, AND by giving reprieves (letting off early) for seemingly good behavior. You want to really raise your children well and teach them responsibility, do not let their punishment up, and spank them when you tell thm yo uare going to. If they learn that they can act nicely to get out of a spanking or even get let up with grounding then they are learning the wrong lesson in life.

now that is fucking hilarious! am I against spankings....no. I got spanked alot when I was a little kid, sometimes for stuff my brother did (don't ask...) did it turn me against my parents? nope. I still care about them and whenever I look back on those days when I did get those spankings, I just laugh about it and realize that I was disobedient. spanking is not a bad thing, nor do I think it's abuse. now if the parents started whipping the legs or torso, then it'd be abuse. I plan on spanking my kids if they ever get out of line, I'll even do it in front of their friends just to embarrass them. what do I care? as far as I know, spanking isn't illegal...yet...

the whole point i was making was that i dont want my kids to learn that spanking is okay and they wont even think it's "spanking" they see it as hitting. i guess i had to put it in lamens terms for everyone to understand.

AND...i mentioned my lil sis because LAUSD is crap...their whole system is pathetic. they call her autistic, but she isn't. they say that she needs to be tutored, but they dont have any available...only people who are lower than she is...how much lower can you get if she is supposedly autistic. and then they claim that she is autistic because there is abuse in the house...MORE CRAP.

eh..ur weird if that's all that you can come up with.

LOL when did i EVER say that i'm 100% correct? now that's just funny. if you don't like what i say then that's just too bad for you, ignore it. i dont give a crap what you say. my kids are my kids...i teach em my way...the end, that's it.

I was spanked. I am pretty sure though my parents never spanked me before the age of like three...because when i was four or five i had flipped my dad off ... of course not knowing what i was doing ... but my dad whooped my ass with a belt...barebutt and all...I'll tell you right now, I have never disobeyed him again. At first it was because I was scared but I quickly realized he demanded respect. So now it's all about repsect for my father. He wasn't brought up in the nicest household in the first place either...so I am sure that's where he got it from. But I can't answer if I am going to spank my kids. I probably won't in public...I'll just tell them this ... "Wait until we get into the car...." that shit worked on me when my mom would tell me ... she never hit me in my face or anywhere but my butt. So I think that I am doing just fine in life...I didn't become a sociopath or anything...I'm 22 years old finding my way.

Time for me jump in on this.

The problem with 95% of children today is a lack of discipline. Somewhere just the other day I heard something written by some teacher that said give or take, "Spare the body to save the soul. Don't spare the soul for the sake of the body."

Hell, when I was 2, I got spanked. Not hard. Not viciously. But certainly enough to make me cry and get my attention. When I was 7, I got spanked. I was a little more well built at that time, so you better believe I got near full force on my a$$. When I was 10... my mom used to go outside, break off a badass looking branch and flat out my ass with it. I let the word sh!t slip out after church once when I accidentally locked her keys in her car. I couldn't sit down for 2 days.

Where am I today? I don't disrespect my parents... I don't hate them... I don't despise them... I'll tell you what though. I know damn well what they expect me not to do. And I love both of my parents very much for teaching me properly.

When it comes time to discipline my children, I will have the exact same approach. They will grow up, learning that when you do something wrong, consequences sometimes heavy will be brought down upon you. When you successful not make the same mistake again... there are no consequences.
