"When I'm a parent, I'm not going to punish my child! I will gently..." - Page 4

Spanking made me wear glasses.

If I had daughters I doubt I could ever strike them. But Mrs Horse would I suspect!

With the boys, its more about the noise you make with your hand and the shame/embarrassment of invading their personal space with your hand rather than inflicting physical pain. It's such a good circuit breaker for tantrums and such like - takes their mind right off whatever it is they are behaving badly about.

One of em said to me that when I hit them it doesn't hurt and I asked him if he would like me to make it hurt? He never brought it up again

They tend to dread being sent to their room more than smacks. I have to hide my face for laughing sometimes at the howls and indignation that can be provoked by the "go to your room" order. It's hilarious.

There's also a category of incident that requires no punishment - like when one of em spilt black model paint all over the family room carpet and in trying to clean it up made a huge black stain, plus fouled the ensuite bathroom basin with black paint. Just being caught was punishment enough. You know the kid has suffered already waiting to be caught. He'd put furniture in an odd position over the stain so he must have known it was inevitable.

On that occasion one of the little kids intercepted me on the way to the family room and said "I'm not allowed to tell you where so and so spilled the paint everywhere."

I sincerely hope you're not serious

Use the leather belt on the bare bottom. That gets some humiliation mixed in with the pain.

Not to mention serious emotional damage later in life.

Beating kids does nothing. All it does is make them afraid of doing even the simplest of things because they know you're going to hit them.

"I'm sorry I dropped the fork, daddy, please don't hit me!"

Yeah...that's kind of good. Especially if the freinds are a little worried that they are going to catch it too.

I need a wife who knows how to use a wooden sppon or a shoe.

Ogie Oglethorpe · January 22, 2004, 00:09

Gonna have to do a little wood working on the spoon. Drill holes you know.

Or it ****ing makes them learn to take their whipping like a man.

Shoes work but stay away from golf cleats gets the social workers in an urproar.

Ogie Oglethorpe · January 22, 2004, 00:12

Funny our neighbors have their spoon painted with a frown on it. They have a second spoon with frown and wig.

Mr. & Mrs. Spoon.

You can get jailed for that here - implements of torture are a no-no.

Don't be so tight-a**ed authoritarian, man! Give them the priviledge of a choice, say between the leather belt and a nice wooden rod. It teaches them to be decisive. Look at me, it didn't do me any harm!

Also, to toughen them up, be sure to require that they not cry during the beating. Inform them that crying means that they don't understand and accept the punishment and that the beating will continue as long as they cry. If they continue to respond to the strokes of the lash on their behinds with so much as a tear or a sob, give them 10 seconds to stop. If they don't stop, continue the beating. If this cycle goes on for more than 30 minutes inform them that you'll be forced to escalate and give them another 10 seconds. If they don't stop crying then try shaking and shouting into their face. Toss away the belt or rod and get down to it - mano y infanto, bare knuckles baby. You know you want to. If it feels good just do it.

Is that so? Well then, I guess all those times my mom beat me were pretty ineffective. Guess she'll just have to do it again to get the point across!

I think so. You still have some pvssy that needs to be beaten out.

I'll make sure to tell her that the next time I'm in Dallas. Or maybe I'll have Ixnay take over for my mom, since she's not healthy enough to beat me like she used to.

No, it's not just a frigging whipping. It's the fact that the simplest mistakes would get me hit, even up till I turned 18. There's a difference between a spanking and a full on ****ing beating.

Yeah. I don't advocate beating like you would in a boxing match. the leather belt is no biggie though. IMHO.

We just had a big emotional debate down here about whether hitting kids is child abuse. The outcome was parents are still allowed to smack their kids with their hand but only on the backside or legs and only so as not to leave a bruise. The child abuse advocates got the use of implements like wooden spoons and belts outlawed.

That's a pretty clear guide which most parents are happy with.

My grandmother used whip her kids with a branch from a cherry tree. That was pretty brutal.

Don't get your butt all clenched Euro pvssie. I can tell we spent too much time protecting you from the Ruskies. they have more sac then you do. Decadent latte-drinking pseudosophisticates. A spanking or some belt-whipping is not some hairy big deal.
