I go places and see kids talking to their parents like they are the parent. They talk really disrespectful. I don't believe in child abuse,but i do believe in a good butt whipping. Not for everything they do, but the real major stuff. What do you think??

I am so glad to see that I am not the only one that thinks this way. I have two children of my own and if they ever thought about talking to me the way a lot of children do these days, I would have to do something about it. So many people are "scared" to discipline their children and I think it is pathetic. What ever happened to spanking? I was spanked when I was a child and I guarantee you that is where my respect for my elders came from. Again, I am glad to see that I am not in this boat alone, we certainly need more people out there that think the same way.

I totally agree with you! I go out in the stores and hear kids curse at there parents and treat them with disrespect and the parents do nothing about it! I even quit hanging out with my best friend because of the way she allows her daughter to talk and act. We were in the store one day and my friend tried to take something from her daughter so she could pay for it and the little girl (2 years old) said no b i t c h that's my s h i t! I see it all the time and it makes me sick!
My daughter knows if she every disrespected me like that she'd get her little butt whopped in a heart beat! SPANKING IS NOT CHILD ABUSE! And in some cases it needs to be done! You know my daughter is 5 and we'll be out some where and a kid will be kicking a screaming at their parents and my daughter will look at me and ask why they aren't getting spanked for acting so badly. People need to start being parents to their children!

When I tapped my daughters mouth for calling me the "B" word in the grocery I was told that the cops were being called on me for child abuse. It's too the point where us parents can't render our children being disrepectful at the moment it happens because of others thinking they know better. So we wait until we get home and either we are too tired from the energy sucking vampires or simply forget about it because dinner has to made. A good butt whipping is a good idea but parents can't do it for anyone else to see.

It does make you wonder why they put up with it, doesn't it?
We taught our son to respect himself and others from day one. He is fourteen now and to this day his teachers say they would love to clone him.
Even though he is going through puberty, he continues to be respectful of us, as parents. But of course we love and respect him in return.
No, I don't think a good whipping would do damaged children any good. What they need is the strength of their parents to help fix what they messed up.
And, for the parents that have put their heart into raising their child right and still ended up with a less than perfect child, I applaud you for trying! Some children, no matter what have in their DNA and there is nothing words or love can do to change it.

Parents today are too afraid of disciplining their child. They are afraid they child won't like them. Children need discipline and when there are no expectations this is what happens. Or they are afraid someone elso will think badly of them for how they discipline. Guess What people Most people like to see a child told what's acceptable and what in no circumstances is. Yellign and spanking is not of much use but you have to tell children no. PARENT YOUR CHILDREN PEOPLE!!!

I see that in my friends kids because if they don't get their way they love to make a seen in the store and I don't even hear them say please they want they think their mom and dad should get it.
And then before they get it their last words I'll never ask you for anything again. Then a few days latter they go out to a store and it's like here we go again.
So I my self have to say I agree. It's just crazy when it gets to where your own kids don't even have any respect for their mom and dad.

I think parents are too afraid to los the affection and friendship of their children. They want to be adored by them because they feel a void. They are also concerned about discipline.
We are talking about people who don't even discipline THEMSELVES (driving drunk, becoming 300+ pounds), how can we expect them to discipline chlidren?
I have no intention of allowing my children to forget, even for a moment, who I am. I am the adult.

I have tried to teach my kids to be respectful of their elders. And my kids see others their own age talking back and even hitting their parents. And wonder why their mom's don't give them a good lashing...

Just because lots of people can have children doesnt mean they know how to be PARENTS. Sad but true.

I agree. As you said, not for everything but the occasional spanking works wonders.
