Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 December 2007

The child is eight years old and I divorced his Biological father two years ago.Like I said earlier he was abused by his real dad and the man I am currently married to thinks that if you belittle a child it will make him feel bad about what he does and he will change.He has spanked him across his back but he has since then admitted he was wrong and stopped doing that. I felt like he was being abusive by spanking my child that way.He still spanks him and so far he hasn't lost his temper.But I am still weary about letting him discipline my child should I forget about the past or stand over him like a guard dog?

Ok so i have an 8yr old daughter but i gave her up for adoption and even though she is living with another family i make a point of taking my boys out with me to buy her a Christmas gift. I know she may never get them or may never have use for them but its our way of not forgetting her and in a way celebrating Christmas with her even though she isn't here.
SHe is 8yrs old and will be 9yrs old in February, what are girls of this age into right now?
Please don't tell me give her money or put money in a savings account for her cause she'll appreciate it more i don't want to hear that, this is my families way of celebrating Christmas as if she were here.
Any help would be much appreciated.
