Have you ever been given some funny looks when you had to get onto your kids in the store..
or
Been given some funny looks when you didn't do nothin' cause you were afraid someone would call cps. just because you disciplined your kids in the store..
One lady was at Brookshire's..Her little boy stole a candybar..She brought his butt back into the store..Blistered his butt...Made him apologize.. and blistered his butt some more!!!
GO MAMA!!!!!!!
Of course she might not of had anything to loose anyway, being that she might have been illegal..I'm not sayin' she was just that it was a possibility.
Mypoint is :
Why are so many of us afraid of gettin' in trouble for disciplining our kids in pulblic.?? What are they gonna do? lock us up?
Our kids will turn into a menace to society if we don't discipline them now...

This is right AND when they become the menace to society who gets blamed for their poor choices and behaviors......THE MOM!
We are afraid of public discipline for the reasons you stated. There are so many parents now a days who do not believe in corporal punishment so even though you are not beating your child, in their eyes you are teaching them to be violent (as if video games, peers and television doesn't do that for us).
One day my son was climbing on a banister in the store. I gave him the eye hoping he would get the message and stop, he didn't, so I told him to stop. He didn't. I leaned down and whispered in his ear that I had something for him when we got in the car. He YELLED, "No, whip me now mommy." I was mortified but the people in the line laughed. This time I escaped someone following me to my car to see if I hit him, but it could have turned out so differently.

I agree. I never understood why people are afraid to discipline in public. Therfore, their child knows they can run all over them anywhere they go. The tantrums and screaming starts for whatever they want, and they give it to them, because they're afraid someone will scream child abuse.
Spanking is not illegal where I live. Therefore, if anyone ever wants to call CPS on me for disciplining my child, kindly let me know. I'll hand you my phone to do so.
That's the problem with so many spoiled brats nowadays. Too many parents are "afraid" of random people, so they don't do anything to teach their children that "no" means "no".

My son is only 9 months right now but I can tell you already that when he is older and acts bad I will not feel bad about disciplining him in a store. I am not going to be one of those parents who lets their child do whatever they want for fear of someone they don't know saying something to them. But of course I wont have to do that cause my son is perfect :)

I would much rather have you discipline your kid in a store than just letting them run around wild, but don't use physical punishment. This doesn't get down to the real problem and teach them a lesson, it just shows them physical pain. I would suggest you start using a different form of punishment, spanking can scar kids mentally even when they've grown up.

i'm still a kid myself...im still 14 years old.. but i grew up from parents who are disciplinarians.. when i was younger, they'd punish me according to the extent of my wrongdoing.... stand-in-the-corner, withholding of reward or treats, or a slap in the butt....when i got to my pre-teen and now in my early teen years, they seldom do that now...they still discipline me, but in a different way..they'd talk to me, or ground me..... i don't see the reason why parents are scared to discipline their children in public.....and there's no reason for the public to interfere or meddle with the parent's way of disciplining his/her child.... those people must remember that they are NOT the child's parent... a good parent will discipline his/her child if he/she truly love the kid...parents who spoil their kids create a bad future for their child.....honestly, because of the way my parents are raising me up, i've grown to admire and love them more..i now see the reasons why they had to punish me that way before...it did me good.....yeah, it did me good.

I support it being illegal. Violence breeds violence and dont want your kids beating on others.
