I babysat my twin sisters when they was 9. they decided to go outside when i told them to stay inside. it was very dark and i worried where they was when they got in i stood one in the corner and took the other to my room i explained the reason they was getting spanked then i pulled down her pants and put her across my knee i gave 5 sharp smacks then gave her a hug and sent her to the corner in tears. i did the same to the other. they never disobeyed me again. you agree? you got any similar stories with your kids ?was i wrong?

No you weren't wrong, I would tell your parents though , that way your sisters don't go running to mommy and daddy saying their brother "touched" them,
If they were my sisters I woulda done the same thing, it helps them obey and know NOT to disobey their elders.
Don't worry, I think you did the right thing, but I'm sure theres going to be people here that'll say "OMG you hit your SISTERS? whats your problem?!?!?!" just ignore em ;) a little discipline never hurt anyone.

I agree with some of the others on this and disagree aswell.. spanking is fine on some occasions and for certain age groups but it should be done by the parent.
A sibling shouldn't be doing it.. you should have told them to stay in the room and then told your parents what happened..
At the age of 9 they shouldnt have to take their pants down to get spanked.. I never understood this concept.. its bad enough u get spanked but to have to humilate them by making them drop their pants is just wrong.

To spank or not to spank is a decision that should be made by the parents.
However, most child physiologists agree that spanking should never be done on a bare behind. That is a shaming discipline and causes emotional damage later on in life.
Spank if you feel you must, but leave the pants up.

9 years old is too old to be spanked. I understand your frustration, and maybe it worked, but really think how you would feel to be bare bottomed and spanked at 9. I bet it humilitated them. While I agree with spanking, i dont agree with bare bottom spanking, due to the fact it is degrading to a child.

Sorry, yes you were wrong-- parents spank ..one time..not five..Why send them to the corner -they were already spanked?
The hug was a good idea as well as the corner ...not the 5 spankings.

Spanking is fine when the child knows why he/she is being spanked for. Keep the pants up. After the spanking make sure the child knows you love him/her.

I think spanking is ok when the parents do it. Sometimes its necessary. Spanking meaning exactly what you did on their behind NOT beating.

Personally, as a child who was occasionally spanked, I don't think it causes any harm and makes them realize that you mean business. As long as it is occasional and not excessive.

Where did you learn that this was okay? Its not! Only parents discipline their children. If they got out of hand, you should have phoned their parents
