This spanking thread is going to get me fired.

Hmmm does it seem to anyone else that those of us that were spanked are a little bit more easy going??

I'm a very easy going person.  I just think spanking is wrong!  I've seen the negative effects of spanking.  I don't think hitting children is ever a good thing.

LMAO! DH spanked me just the other night. Granted I didn't have the ball gag or a safe word

We have a safe word, but it's hard to say banana with a wang in your throat.

That's why you have the back up sign language tool. Now if you're bound and gagged you must resort to the one blink means "go, two blinks means "stop".

That whole paragraph. word for word describes me. I couldn't agree MORE!!!

Its the person which commands respect and the relationship you build withthem, not the method of discipline. It takes a whole lot more than spanking vs. not spanking to develop your child.

Really, so do you spank adults to demand respect?

Only if they're into it.

LMAO! DH spanked me just the other night. Granted I didn't have the ball gag or a safe word, but I was into it. If I respected him more is in question, but I sure as heck loved him a lot more and will ask for it again. Maybe if everybody says spanking is abusive I'll just ask for the hair pulling next time.

Does this mean that my unborn child has already been spanked, or will grow up with a fetish?

 OHmygosh... yep, your poor unborn child has already been abused and will have self-esteem issues from birth. You should have just had your husband talk to you instead =P

 

Sometimes talking just doesn't get the job done, ya know?

...somehow, I can't even imagine the verbal equivalent of spanking. One would have to be incredibly creative.

I was spanked... my husband was spanked... our child will be spanked. Pretty sure my child will not be emotionally disturbed for life over spanking. It will probably be the leaving them at home alone, force feeding them alcohol, and verbally abusing them that does them in... Oh yes it will be horrible to be my child...

Hahaha! This!

Funny story:

When I was about 8 my mom told me to "pick that sh!t up out of the yard." I thought she meant literally and asked her for gloves and she said no. A while later my mom comes out and asks me what was taking me so long. She then realized I had dog sh!t in my bare hands!

You should add picking up dog sh!t with bare hands to your list.

STFU. This is the best story in all of these posts.

My mom one time swung a bag of trash near me, half joking. Only there was a large, empty pickle jar and I moved just right so it smacked me upside the head and knocked me out.

I totally got away with everything for two weeks after that.

That made me LOL

I just saw this thread, so I'm going to respond here instead of there.  It's already on the third page of comments.  I've worked with children for a very long time, and I can tell you the kids that gave me the most problems were the ones that were spanked.  I think there are other ways to discipline your children without resorting to hitting them.  As the parent, you are the role model, and you're teaching your child that it's okay to hit a person if you are bigger than them.  I know I saw some people say it happened to me, and I turned out fine.  I always think this is such a cop out answer to try and justify what you're doing is an okay thing.  A two year doesn't understand why they need to sit in a seat for 2 hours or more, and hitting them doesn't do anything to change the behavior.  They might listen, but do you want your children to listen to you out of fear or out of respect?  I personally, want them to respect me and not fear me.  Even spanking in the calmest nature is still hitting, and I don't agree with it, ever.     

Seriously?! Please. I respect my mom, and I did as a child. My mom rarely spanked me, but she did spank me. Ultimately, I knew when she spanked it was because she was dissapointed in me and even as good of a kid as I was, sometimes words just aren't enough.

I'd love to know how I'm using this as a cop out, when I 1) never drank in high school, 2) never even sampled drugs, 3) had an amazing relationship with my mom through the rocky teenage years, 4) never abused an animal or stole or burnt down a house or even effing bullied a kid. Hell, I didn't even lose my virginity for ages because I respected my mom and didn't want to dissapoint her.

Give it up. I'm pretty sure this post was about how we, as previously "abused" children, can look back and laugh at the hellions we were.

I never said you were abused.  If spanking works, then why were you a hellion as a child?  Why did your mom feel she needed to spank you more than once?  If it's suppose to be such a great parenting tool, then it should only happen one time and never again.   

Seriously?!?!? Do you ever tell ur kids to do something and they don't listen and you have to repeat urself?
