Me too and the answer is they don't have a right. Why don't they give our bottoms a much deserved rest.

+ I ONLY believe in spankings if my child was doing something that could be DANGEROUS. Like if my child was running out into the road or Running towards a river or something along those lines!
Only a small spanking though not even to hurt just to scare a little
and after that I would give my child a BIG hug and explain why it scared me so much and tell my child how much I love him. Also explain why that is dangerous.
but after a certain age spankings should not be used and other means of time-out or punishments should go into effect.
like being grounded from certain things.
My parents use to have me chose my own punishments and that worked out the best. Because I learned that I had to be responsible for my own actions and I ended up being closer to my parents that way. I was able to talk to them more freely.
Tell them how you feel. Go to them on a adult level. DON'T cry, yell, argue just talk and if they don't want to talk or if they start in on you , leave the room but tell them (in a calm but firm voice) that when they can calm down you will talk to them. Also remind them that you will be there for them if they ever had a problem and need to talk or need a shoulder to cry on.
This always worked for me.
It surprises most parents because in there eyes your still a child
which you are but if you just try to talk it out they will respect you on a higher level and maby hopefully treat you as you should be treated!
I hope this helps you and GOOD LUCK on talking to them...

It's biblical and only up to a certain age. And there is a difference between spanked.
And being beaten and if one is being beating or being hit by a parent all the time then the one needs to report the beating and hitting to the police. Cause the beating and hitting are two different things then spanking. They are not even close.

There is no feeling about it. We do have the right to physically punish our children until the age of 18. I would suggest if you are tired of being spanked, pay a little more attention to the rules.
Good Luck

First of all I use spanking as a last resort but with that said if my child is going for an outlet and I say no and a corner or something doesn't work I am not going to have my child hurt or even killed because they stuck their finger in them. I am going to say no and spank their hand enough for them to know there is something wrong. As I said it is a last resort for me but sometimes it is the only thing that tells them hey I really did something wrong. I also always tell them what they have done and why they were in trouble. Believe me, the hardest thing as a mother is to get your children in trouble. But when you love your child so much you are going to teach them and comfort them but also they have to know where the boundaries are.

The next time you are spanked, ,go to a teacher or counselor at school. If they believe or supect that you are being abused, the are required by law to report it to the autorthies. No child needs to be hit. Spanking is a lazy parent's way to disciplne.

If you are tired of being spanked all the time, then why don't you stop doing whatever it is that is causing you to get spanked.
I have not spanked my daughter (as yet, I will if necessary) because when I tell her to stop the behaviour I don't want she does. It is very clear to her (through consistent disipline) that if she continues I will follow through with whatever disciplinary action ie taking away the toy, removing her from the room, that I promised if the behaviour does not stop immediately.

Because they are our kids. That is a full and sufficient reason that does not require elaboration or supplementation of any kind. Parents are responsible for how their kids turn out.
If you are tired of being spanked all the time, behave better.

I give my son a little smack from time to time not to hurt him just to get his attention. Aren't you a little old to be spanked? Maybe you should stop being bad. Or I like to be spanked what's your problem.

Because they can't think of more productive means of discipline, and spanking is a "quick fix" even if it doesn't really fix anything. Until parents put emphasis on teaching a child to do right, rather than making them fear repercussions of doing wrong, children aren't going to turn out any better. I'm a living example of that, after several years of the belt.
