Not spanking hard enough...

GracieWK

I am SO sick of my coworkers advice. His cure for everything child related is to spank. I was talking about how Mitchell still cries himself to sleep because I leave the bedroom and coworker said I need to spank him to get him to stay in bed and go to sleep. I told him it doesn't work - Mitchell still gets up. He said I'm just not spanking him hard enough. Seriously?

Ok I'm not anti spanking, but I am anti-beatmykid.

Ugh. I only believe in smacking ignorant coworkers. Hard enough.

How awful!!  Seriously, that sounds like child abuse.  How does it make any sense that if a child is crying because he misses you, that you should hit them really hard??!!  Surely the pain will keep them from crying, that makes sense   DS will cry if I leave his room before he's asleep, so what do I do?  I comfort him and stay next to his crib until he falls asleep because that what works.  It's really not that complicated: my child needs me, I meet his needs.

I'm dumbfounded.  Your child cries himself to sleep, and your coworker thinks this is a spankable offense?  Wow. 

I don't plan to spank my son, but I'm not going to say "I never will" because I just don't know if there will be "that" situation where I feel I need too. 

but your co-workers approach.  Again, dumbfounded.

That certainly seems healthy!

That's the best sleep training advice I've ever heard. I'm going to hit my children when they can't sleep. That should calm them down enough to get sleepy and stay in bed.

 

WTF Gracie? Are you trying to win the stupidest person on the internet award? Oh wait, you've already got a few dozen of those trophies.

Your co-worker's obviously just hinting that he wants you to spank him. Next time he says something dumb in a meeting, tell him to stand up and then smack him a good one.

Sage Mommy

Hello people! She is spanking him to stay in bed.

I told him it doesn't work - Mitchell still gets up.

The coworker just wants her to hit harder.

That's crazy! Let me guess your co-worker doesn't have kids!

Yeah I had to read that a few times to make sure I was actually reading that right.  So you aren't against spanking him to get him back to bed, you're just against spanking him harder?

I caught that too. I find it outrageous if anyone hits their kid to make them stay in bed.

TamTam624

I just say WOW.  That is nuts.  You little guy isnt even 2 yet.  My DS has always been a great sleeper and the last couple weeks he has been waking up during the night from what I think are night terrors and wants me to hold him. 

I would never let bedtime become a punishment that would just encourage his crying and being upset.  Really does hitting a child harder or even at all make them understand they need to go to sleep.

You're spanking a toddler to stay in bed or because he's crying?

In your other thread "my husband is so worried" you said that you guys are worried because your son is still crying at night.

 

Did you ever stop to think, think for just ONE FVCKING SECOND, that maybe he's crying because he now thinks bedtime equals spanking time?

Jesus fvcking Christ!  And I don't take the Lord's name in vain very often, but you, my dear, are an IDIOT.

Yeah. I can't even imagine hitting my kid to get her to sleep. I get frustrated, god knows with the "but mom? I want water? Mom? I want to hug you again? mom? mom? mom?" 

But hitting her? Yeah that will make bed time a breeze. God you're a fool.

this.

you make me completely sick to my stomach. This is borderline child abuse and MY GOD how could you equate not going to sleep with being a punishable, spanking offense??

Judged Judged Judged.

tre777

I am actually feel sick from reading this thread. WTH is wrong with you?

Sage Mommy

Next time you have a bout of insomnia, have your DH give you a good smack. Let us know how well you slept, mkay?

At the very least there's a chance it'll jump start some of your brain cells.

andrealynn0707

Am I reading this correctly that there are at least two idiots out there that think spanking a child to get them to go to sleep is a GOOD idea? W. T. F.

I cannot fathom how anyone would EVER reach that conclusion, much less two people. 

TimingisEverything

And what raving said.

Mrs.AKP

You make me sick. So f'd up.

Ravings Rabbids

And why anyone would think that a child that isn't even TWO yet would understand why he's being spanked is beyond me.

I feel so bad for your children.

heaven81906

All I can say is WOW! I didnt catch that the first time and just thought she was complaining cause her co-worker told her to spank him. Why in the world would you punish your child for crying? I am anti-spanking as it is but this almost seems like child abuse to me.

akiernan

Ugh.

I'm not normally one to jump on board with these judge-fests, but FFS, Gracie, what the heck is wrong with you?

 

I was going to submit your name for the next douchecanoe award, but I'm too afraid you'd be stupid enough to try using the paddles at Mitchell's bedtime.  *shakes head*

Gracie, you are just confirming that you are as gross and fvcking clueless as everyone already thinks you are.

i'd be crying too if i knew i was about to get hit.

why can't you just take 10-15 minutes and sit next to his bed till he's asleep?  you won't have to do it every night.  he's just not used to the new sleeping arrangements and your hitting him certainly isn't going to make him like it more.

You are not anti-beat your kid.  You hit him for crying when he is put to bed.  That is so beyond the realm of normal parenting-- and you don't see that.  Do your poor kid favor and take an f-ing parenting class before you do permanent damage.

Wow.  Just wow.  Yeah, your coworker is absolutely nuts, but then again, so are you. 

fairychick77

Wow you majorly suck at parenting.

I feel so bad for your kid.
