How do you feel about spanking your children?
Re: ~November Ninjas Hump Day Check In~
Eh, preferably not as a first response, but I don't want to say our child(ren) will never get a spanking. DH and I are balanced enough that I would hope we would never be one of "those" parents that beat their children or verbally/psychologically abuse them.
I butt whooping will be involved if a stranger comes up to my child and lays a hand on them, I promise you that!
Meaning the stranger gets the whipping, not my child.
i of course would prefer never to spank my kids, i have also seen what abuse does to kids. that being said, i have worked with kids under 4 for the last 10 years in day care and a spank may not have been the worst thing. as long as it's a tap on the bum or something like that and the reasons are well known and it doesn't happen often.
sometimes that is the only way for a parent to make the point known, especially if everything else hasn't worked.My parents spanked me twice in my entire life and i can tell you now, i deserved it and it taught me one hell of a lesson.

Trying again..
I think using spanking occasionally as a last resort when your children are still young (not teenagers) is fine. But Spanking should never be done in anger, and people with a history of violence should not use it. I just think sometimes toddlers need a little something to get their attention and tell them that their behavior is not acceptable. In most cases I think other disipline can be more effective
P.S.
Holly, you have a beautiful belly! I envy your lack of stretch marks.
