Let me get this straight: you took your baby out late in the evening- even when you *know* that she has a hard time keeping it together when she’s tired- so that you could get your computer fixed. And then you want the right to slap her for acting the way any tired four-year-old acts when they should be in bed at home. Why do I always see folks out late at night with bratty kids blaming everybody but themselves? You’re the one who’s grown- get a babysitter or wait until the next day to get your gadgets fixed.

I don’t have a problem with the occasional spanking. But you need to be the adult and give your kid what they need before you go blaming your kid for their behavior. Your daughter wasn’t disrespecting you, she was just tired.

You are wrong. The reason they are at the top of the prison population is because there was no discipline in the home. You can discipline in love. when a child know the parents care about them, then they will not likely be so ready to act up. All children do not need spankings. (good for you that you don;t have to spank yours) But most do! Another reason is because most times there is no father in the home and the poor mother is trying to do everything be herself. and it gets to be too much. There is a reason the Father above mandated that there be a mother and a father in the home–. When we get away from what was originally meant for us to do as parents, thats when all Hell breaks loose.

Those parents need to be beat down. Most of the young parents don’t even know how to raise children. Because they are children themselves. It’s a vicious cycle. To think that cursing at a very young age is cute is very ignorant. Let’s see how the parents feel when thi=eir child starts cursing them out in public.

Ticina:

I agree with you 100%. There is a difference between abuse and discipline. Some people act like they do not want to spank their children when in reality they are afraid of the kids. Society has turned it around so that the kids are the grownups and the parents are the kids. I saw a woman in the street the other day begging for her son to get up off the ground..she was promising him everything in the book if he would just stand up. She leaned down in his face talking and pleading with him…You know what he did. He reached up and slapped her in the face…Now mind you this kid was like 5 or 6 years old. You know what she said? “Why did you hit Mommy? That wasn’t nice”. I couldn’t believe it. Why do kids have the nerve that they do these days? Because I believe all discipline starts in the home, early. You can tell children that are well disciplined. They know how to behave in public. There is a reason that the Bible says “Spare the rod and spoil the child” If a child is disciplined with love they will love you as their parents. I spanked my kids when they got out of line or disobeyed, and they didn’t love me any less, matter of fact they loved me more…and to this day they are healthy, educated functioning adults, with children of their own.
Parents, lets stop letting society tell us how to raise our own children, and do what we should do when they are young. Remember, if you don’t do it, then the police will happily do it for you!

I agree with Bison. Why is it ok to beat kids but not adults? Spanking is for clueless psychopaths.
