actually discipline their kids by talking to them and explaining why they want them to change their behavior. guarantee most people in prison right now were "spanked" as kids and look at where they are.


The only "why" my kids ever got when they were little was because we (the parents) told them so. They were children and owed no explanation from adults. This was for protection as much as anything. I didn't need to stop and explain every directive I gave them.

Raising children is essentially breaking them of their natural tendencies so they can participate in the culture of the parents and exhibit generally acceptable social habits.

And I guarantee prisons are full of people who were not, in fact, disciplined as children.

There's really nothing worse than being around wild children whose parents use some kind of "gentle parenting" garbage. They are feral, and it's obnoxious to be around them.

You should never "hit" your kids, you should discipline your kids. Spanking is appropriate and needed in America today.

Disciplined how? Feel like baws need to tread lightly these days.

I'll accept this.

Now, don't 'lol' at your own posts. It's unseemly.

bullshite..spanking isn’t needed anywhere. It’s a last resort for people who don’t know any other way or don’t care to put in the effort. Saying things like it’s needed only justifies it to yourself, to those who did it to you and to others.

Depends on the kid. My oldest daughter, 0 need to spank her. She is 8 now and normal discipline through talking or proper punishment works fine.

Daughter 2, 6. Sometimes verbal discipline and punishment, does nothing. That's when she needs a pop on the rear end.

My 2 year old son on the other hand. You can verbally discipline him, timeout, take stuff away, etc. Nothing zip nada. Right back to same behavior you're trying to correct. The issue is, wife won't really pop her sweet little boy, I'll come my arse across the house to pop his butt, he stops then

Just a bit of laughter to show the mirth within my post. I see nothing wrong with this in today’s time when everyone is taking everything to damn seriously.

With that said, it won’t happen again…

All too often parents mistake their desire to give a kid a spanking for the thought that a kid or kids NEED a spanking.

No kid needs it.

We shouldn't let our lack of knowledge, understanding or belief in something equate to a belief that it doesn't exist.

Why have parents gotten so soft that they can't discipline their kids anymore?


Because no one can mind their own business anymore, and alot of people these days refuse to draw a distinction between proper spanking and beatings/domestic violence.

I had a lot of friends who got hit growing up and they never disrespected their parents—they feared them and secretly resented them.


I got spanked as a child and I only feared my parents if I had done something wrong and have never resented them. I understood that there are consequences for my actions, something a lot of people today do not seem to comprehend.

you're right. less talking. more hitting.

despite a 50 year study with 160,000 kids that says hitting/striking/switching/spanking children is detrimental, you have determined otherwise.

I earned every spanking I ever got, except for one, which is considered ok by me, since it more than made up for all the stupid shite I did and never got caught.

I’ve yet to shoot up a post office or physically assault anyone. And as an adult, I’m now closer with my dad than I’ve ever been. Certainly don’t resent him, and truly respect him for raising me well.

My kids got a spanking as a last resort, after discussions/lectures, removal of privileges, and timeouts failed to correct the behavior. All discipline was always followed up with more discussions as to why we got to that level of correction and how any of a number of changes could have been made prior to that escalation.

I’ve got one on her way to dental school and the other is currently deciding where she wants to go to college. Both are good kids who adhere to the principles of making sound, well-informed decisions and taking personal responsibility for their actions. Best I can tell, neither is interested in shooting up a post office either. Although, they probably couldn’t find one without Waze.

First, I was responding to the notion of having to explain everything to a young child.

Second, the entire history of humanity and billions of kids says that a swift pop on the thigh will get a child in line with the quickness. For the majority of history, parents were just hoping their kids weren't eaten by a bear and what they were going to have to kill to feed said child.

It has only been in the last 50 years that any adult gave two shites about the "feelings" of their children. And look where we are as a society.

When children do something that we don’t like, it’s an opportunity for us to teach them and talk with them about why was that behavior not OK.

Our goal should be to to try to help them develop into responsible adults who make good decisions, because it’s the right thing to do, not because they’re afraid someone’s going to hit them.

Sorry you're such a weak parent you have to resort to hitting your child to get your point across. My dad never hit us, but goddammit he was the scariest thing in the world to me growing up.

Plus, how are you going to tell your son it's not okay to hit anyone he wants to when he wants to and turn around and hit him as "discipline"? Have a fricking brain
