Spanking kids for it or against it??? - Debates

~~~Jess~~~ · 07-28-2006, 07:35 AM

Just another thing I was thinking about last night with a few friends. Are you for spanking your kids or against it. I know some of you will say how can I hit my child and tell them not to hit people. But I personally and for spanking. Ella obviously isn't old enough to get in trouble yet but when she's older I do beileve in spanking. No beating just old fasion spanking. I belive kids these days are spoiled snots b/c parents are trying to be their friends and not PARENTS.I"m not saying being a parent means you spank your kids but what happend to disipline? NO bashing b/c I know this could get out of hand. PLease keep this civil.

i am against it. my dad never had to spank me. he put the fear into me enough to not want it!

i would hope that whan trent gets older i can control my temper and disipline him with "respect" (does that make sense?)

i don't believe in spanking for every little thing. i was spanked when i was little not with a belt or anything though. if i was misbehaving in the grocery store and wouldn't stop i would get a swift hard pop on my butt to get my attention. or if i was in a restaurant and i wouldn't stop acting up all my mom had to do was, ' if you don't stop i'm going to count to three and then we are going to the bathroom' that always made me stop too. i rarely got spanked, i was scared of getting spanked especially in a public place (restaurant, grocery store, doctors office, etc etc) where i could potentially misbehave.

i will not spank just to spank. however dh and i will spank our kids. if spanking is done in the correct way (i know how can you say correct way when you are talking about hitting your kids) or correcet circumstances i think it can be an effect discipline tool.

I won't spank Sydney for every thing she does but she does get spanked. I don't hit her hard enough to hurt her only hard enough to get her attention. I will never hit her with a belt or anything like that, a switch maybe but that's all. I was spanked when I was younger and it kept me in line and when spanking didn't work anymore I got grounded.

Spanking will be a last resort & will happen very rarely... but yes, she will probably get a spanking in her life time

I had my ass whooped w/ a towel when I was 10

That is the only spanking I have ever had and I learned after that one!

MichelleB · 07-28-2006, 08:32 AM

Yes I believe in it.

Something that left an impression in my mind for me to remember when Gabby is old enough for a spanking is a story I read on a board somewhere...Can't remember. But the woman was talking about how she spanked her daughter and one day she seen her little girl spanking her doll...That made her realize the impact the spanking had on her.

So that leads me to feel that we (him and I) should spank rarely, if at all.
