Oh yeah...another interesting topic to debate over!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a little open hand swat on the bum, when communication fails. Strike 3.......wack! If you don't put a touch of fear into your kids as young children, they sure won't fear you as a teenager.

Though there are a few people out there that I would love to slip them some sid, tie them up naked in the back of my truck, take them thru a car wash with the hot wax and then spank them. All while wearing leather and stiletto boots.

I'm outta here!

...which begs the question: is there a reason why your children should be afraid of you?

-dh

They should fear what you will do, be it spanking, standing in the corner, or getting their allowance taken away.

I don't drink and drive because of fear of loosing my license and going to jail, not because I am a responsible adult.......because that is just too politically correct for me!

Out of interest David, how old is your daughter? Daughters are angels until they reach grade 8.

...really? there are more and more parents who successfully raise their children without physical discipline.

simply because it is quite possible.

in fact, if you quizzed them, they would probably tell you that it really wasn't all that difficult.

what do you imagine you are accomplishing when you spank your children?

-dh

There are also many parents who succesfully raise their kids with physical discipline.

 

[ne1roc]

Physical discipline being the odd slap in th behind of course.

 

[ne1roc]

...undoubtedly. but does that negate the possibility that there may actually be a more effective, safer, saner and even more civilized way to do it?

-dh

We have no facts of either being more effective. There is more then one way to do many things in life and end up with the same results. That is a fact!


OT: By the way, I love all the changes happening to this forum right in front of my eyes! Now I can see who's on topic! :rockon:

 

[ne1roc]

...sorry, but i asked you first.

-dh

Sounds like a reply from someone who can't prove their pont of view?

 

[ne1roc]

...well, perhaps i wasn't obvious enough. it IS my point of view. in other words, and opinion. based upon a personal belief.

so what, exactly, would you like me to prove? that this really is my opinion?

also, for the record, my challenge was not to you personally, but to anyone in general.

-dh

I believe you were the one who started this topic, basically saying that parents who spank their children are barbarians and have poor parenting skills. If you are going to make an opinion like that, I believe you should have some facts ready to back up your opinion.

I have no facts for either side of the arguement and therefore accept both parenting styles. I believe they both work well!

Hoo boy, let me add "Spanking" to the list of "Debates to Avoid on the Internet" along with Politics, Religion and Abortion.

We all could go back and forth on this for 50 pages and not settle it. The raising of children is a very personal thing, and two sides are NOT going to see common ground on it.

Ha Ha! Yeah, but these are kinda fun to get into once in awhile.........as long as things don't get nasty, and thankfully it didn't!

It was a great debate guys. Thanks for the fun!

Here's one, Gibson or Fender? None
