Okay again, I never said slap the kid in the face.  So I don't see how this is the same thing as the situation I was in....I didn't want her to slap her kid in the face....spanking is palm to butt.  That's it.  Not palm to face or palm to any other part of the body.  Just to the butt.  Someone slapping a kid in the face,  I would not have tolerated that and would have taken the child myself.  I use my 11 yr old as an example of the fact that I have been in situations like this.....I was referring to all those posts about how I have no clue what its like....I do....I have a kid.  I'm not even going there with the latin blood thing....

omg give it a rest.

smacking a 13 month in the face is a LOT different that spanking a child who understand on the behind. Spanking is NOT abuse. Get off your high horse.

Point is, everyone's definition of spanking is different. So, no reason for your blood to boil over a mother's choice to try every calm method available. Yeah, you have no room to argue the latin blood thing. That was just dumb.

How did she use her 11 year old as an excuse? She simply stated she already has a kid for all the moms out there screaming "ZOMG you have no idea until you have a kid!"

Not a high horse. I never said to slap a child. I was just pointing out, a flight attendant can deem a situation unsafe for a child if a hand is risen. That is all. I do understand spanking. But like I said, everyone's definition is different.

Then maybe you should have asked her what she meant when she said spank the child instead of assuming she meant for the mother to smack and infant in the face. You can argue a point without being a tool.

I'm pretty sure she was joking. She doesn't seroiusly need anger managment issues. You guys are so absurd sometimes.

Does it drive you nuts when a child is screaming a resturant and you see the parents doing nothing? YES! Its like nails on a chalkboard.

 dont tell me you havent been annoyed by a screaming child and thought to yourself "I could get that kid to be quiet!, that mother isn't doing good enough" . I was a perfect mother...until I had a child.

Even if you have a child, you still judge. We all do it, to the kid who stands up in the shopping cart, to the kid (11 yr old)in walmart with his hand down his pants I told him was gross. We all look and judge and get annoyed with other people's children.

I shall refer you to my point above. "I never said to slap a child. I was just pointing out, a flight attendant can deem a situation unsafe for a child if a hand is risen. That is all."

I totally agree. As Totty pointed out, everyone will always judge people.

 

And ewww to the kid at Walmart.

I think most parents are going to take their child to the bathroom ultimately on a plane or in any public place.  Its what we've always done with ours.  While yes the flight attendant can step in if the situation feels unsafe for the child at hand, I doubt most parents are going to do it in the public eye. But smacking and spanking are different.

Ok, dumb, this is not what she said at all.

Should we start a poll to see how many of us that were spanked as kids consider our parents abusive? I'm talking a pat on the butt, not an uncontrolled beating. I doubt there are many.

I think a big point is being missed. Society's view on spanking is very different now than it was when we were kids, even different than it was 10 yrs ago! Many parents don't spank in public b/c of fear from public judgment or skewed point of view. That's why many parents end up taking their child to the bathroom to spank them in public or may not spank while in public. I am not yet comfortable with the idea of spanking my child. I was spanked, but I feel I need to try other techniques before resorting to spanking. IMO, I believe 2 yrs old is too young to spank.
