How many of you parents spank your kids? It seems as if nobody even tries to disapline their kids anymore. They always resort to sending thier kids to thier bedrooms. My mother when I was a child beat my mother whooped my *** almost everyday and I'm glad that she did because I know that I'm not a snobby disrespectful adult. Where do you cross the line?

hi
my parents used to woop my *** when i was a kis too and it never did me any harm.
i'll openly admit i do smack my kids if its needed which i have to say is very rare infact the last time i smacked my kids was about 6mths ago.
i usually find the threat of it alone works or a good harsh talking too but if it doesnt then yes i will smack them.
i want my kids to know right from wrong. i dont want my kids to be disrespectful yobs when they grow up and if a smacked as every now and then is waht it takes then so be it.
ive said it so many times there is a fine line between disapline and abuse. and as long as your not lashing the *** off the child with a shoe or belt etc or punching or kicking the child which may i say is abuse.!! then its ok.
there are way too many kids out there running riot because of lack of disipline.
but there are also hundreds of kids who are being beating and abused.
i see nothing wrong with one single smack on the *** its twenty smacks on the *** i would object too.

i only got spanked once in my whole life. You know why? because i learned my lesson real quick with spankins. i'm not trying to be racist but i'm black and i grew up with spankins and then again being ina white house , the parents are so easy going on their kids concerning discipline. of course , as i got older i was "grounded" once or twice too, but it still seemed like the authority was lame and i could do whatever I wanted. i think spankins are a good way to handle a bad kid because they're firm and straightforward. Spankins also help you mature quicker. (It's a proven fact). it's pretty hard for the parents to spank their kids though and some pychologist are even saying it ruins a childs " environment" or it's not good for the child's "well-being". i don't really believe that.

I spanked all 3 of my kids because thats how I was brought up. In my family we were afraid of my mom not my dad she wore the pants in the family.I never sent my kids to their room,what for all their toys were in there so whats the point.My oldest is 16 and I always get compliments on how much of a gentleman he is. We got spanked because that was back in the old school era now babyboomers are to busy going out and letting nana take care of their kid's. So wheres the morals there.I think people should draw the line when the kids are young to show them repect and disipline because once their 18 whatever we instilled in them is societys problem now and god help us all.

Spanking may have a place but it is not a good long term punishment any you should never ever mark your child,the problem is not that parents dint spank ,its that they don't discipline ,they let the kids walk all over them and blame the no spanking rule ,they are lazy ,and yes I have well behaved kids I have not flogged ,5 of them, 3 teenagers .My kids do as I say without me holding a stick because I taught them to respect me .PS ..3 of my kids are bigger than me now ,I couldn't smack if I wanted.

I think spanking is one thing but my parents crossed the line by hitting me in the head with wooden spoons and beating me when I was young and made a mistake. I resent them for it to this day. I think spanking a child on the behind is ok but slapping and hitting on the head when a child is young is crossing the line.

My son is too young for me to say I won't ever spank him. But I hear you... kids have grown up to be awful because they have no respect. I know there are other ways to make them feel ashamed, perhaps to make them even want to make you proud. I hope it works out that way.
I think if I really think my Son needs physical punishment I will train him the way my Kung-Fu teacher did. Deep true stances of Southern Kung-Fu can be quite painful and also help build great strength. I can easily force him into these stances even if he resists.
Then again. That could easily be considered child abuse. Still I see Spanking as bordering on molestation. That's thier butt... just seems pretty sick to me. My Dad threw me against a wall and my Mom slapped me... but they never struck me where my underware covered. They told me NO ONE was allowed to touch me there.

I spank my kid but not beat him, When he is bad he knows it. The one thing that he hates the most is sitting, See my mother never hit me, so if a parent would beat there kids everyday that would be abuse.

There's a HUGE difference between spanking & abuse. People who do not spank their kids are going to have teens who one day will flat out refuse to do what they tell them to do and what can they do about it? Threatening to ground them won't work, they'll just laugh at them and walk out the door.
