Not only am I distracted but it inspired a FB thread between me and one of my sister's about spanking, which led to stories of being chased around the house by dad for saying "dork" and other dramatized tales. My dad finally got on and told us to call Oprah and Springer.
Re: This spanking thread is going to get me fired.
Haha my mom chased me around with a hairbrush! Those suckers hurt!
Is it ok that I laughed at this?
so I was getting a spanking for talking back to my mom when I was young and I yelled "help penny!!!" (my dog). yeah my cocker spaniel bit my mom.
I got beat like ten times worse for that. She has never let me live that one down...haha
Oh and my mom got so mad at me once I was standing in the street crying and I was like "mom I'm having an asthma attack I need my inhaler!!" (to be fair I was being waaay over dramatic), she threw my inhaler to me in the street. BWA HAHAHA!
I have the best parents and an amazing relationship wih my parents. I was spanked and yelled at when needed and I am a very well adjusted young women with an even more amount of respect for my parents now that I have a child.
LOL - I'm sorry, that's hilarious

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.
LOL.
Yes, that will just destory your child.
Here I am figuring it will be making them eat their fruits and veggies! lol.
darn, and i get the entire clothes basket thrown at me one day and still couldn't get away with anything! I think I like your mom better than mine!! lol.
My mom broke a wooden spoon on my brother's behind.
OMG this just made me laugh till I cried....
This. I deserved what I got and I hope my kiddo will say the same thing some day
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.
gigglesnort.
Anyhoo. I tried to stuff my underpants with toilet tissue to avoid the effects of a particularly bad spanking after I broke the towel rack in my aunt's bathroom by swinging on it like a monkey.
It wasn't too bad until my cousin aka partner in crime had some tp fall out when it was her turn to be spanked. And she told my mom it was all my idea.
I was spanked twice that day. Not fun.
maybe the kid at my daycare needs to be bit by his mom so he'll stop chomping on my ds!!!!
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.
HAHA! Sounds like me and my bff!
When we were 6 we took a whole roll of tp and put it in the toilet and flushed... just to see what would happen. Well we were at her grandma's house and she had to call the plumber to come out. We got our butt's beat for it. A few hours later we somehow decided it would be a great idea to do it again!! So the plumber had to be called again! We definitely got our butts beat twice that day by her grandma and then I am sure again by our parents!
Really, so do you spank adults to demand respect?
Seriously??? Then explain to me why children need to be told NO multiple times or why time outs need to be done multiple times, since they are such GREAT parenting tools!
How can you ask that without thinking about those things being brought in to question as well?
I'm just lurking in this whole debate, but I love the way you put this. It's very easy for the anti-spankers (and I suppose avid pro-spankers as well) to over-simplify the issue and vilify anyone who disagrees with them.
I spanked Spurs just this afternoon.
lol
reading comprehension my dear.
The spanking did not make me respect my mom more. I respected her as a person and for what she taught me and the great relationship we had. I knew if I disobeyed her I could potentionaly be in for a spanking and I understood exactly why I was geting one.
The spanking didn't make me love my mom any less, or make me think she was abusing me. Because I respected her for who she was not the act she was preforming. I didn't FEAR my mom and respect her because I knew I would get spanked.
Maybe I'm not making sense, its hard to explain on a messageboard
Vasectomy.
I do discipline my children, but I leave out the hitting. I don't see the point of spanking my children to get them to listen. You can have the same results with time out and talking to your children. Yes, they will do it again, because they're learning. The meaning of discipline is to teach. I don't agree with teaching your children that hitting is ever okay.
I was being sarcastic. I know that every parenting tool needs to be used several times, but I don't think spanking is the right tool to ever use.
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?
We have a safe word, but it's hard to say banana with a wang in your throat.
:dies:
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
