No more whoopings?

Question

please tell me why we live in a society today that does not believe in spanking...i hear people talk about time out and no privelages and all that but never"you're getting a spanking when we get home". I see these kids yelling and screaming,throwing tantrums and even hitting their parents but what does the mom do after getting hit by a 6 yr old "stop Billy or you dont get to play the game today". What is wrong with beating Billy's ***? He is old enough to know better and do better but doesn't. That is why these kids are growing up to be spoiled brats who always want there way and start doing whatever they can to get it...besides work. We as parents got whipped when we were kids and we turned out fine and the world wasnt as bad as it is now. Now days no kids getting whoopings and look at what the world is coming to!!! USE THE BELT PEOPLE it will not hurt you or your child...it helps build character and promotes values like consequences and reprocussions .

Answer 1

I'm 12 and I'm being raised just like you have been raised, with spankings. I mean I see all my friends talking back to their parents, saying "shut up!' to their parents, even yelling at them! I don't even dare to say peep back to MY mom! I mean, yeah, she is kinda harsh sometimes, but I know she does this to make me a better person.

Answer 2

one last time...spanking is fine..beating a child and leaving welts and bruises is CHILD ABUSE !!  a child should have boundaries, limits ,  and most important...understand what NO means.

Answer 3

I agree completely, but no doubt you will get most of your answers from people that are against it. They are really the ones that are stressed out the most because their kids simply won't listen to them.

Answer 4

I agree. It is not about beating the child but it is a action--consequence situation. Also I think that when I was little and got spankings that it was to get my attention to say "hey, that c**p is not allowed". Parents are too soft these days.The "experts" talk about how we are hurting the child's psyche but what the h**l are the kids doing to the parents when they hit them, spit at them and in general do not have an ounce of respect for them.

All that the parents are doing is making their precious little angels into monsters that nobody can deal with or want to be around. They leave it up to the schools and eventually up to the police to do what they should have done and that is to control their own child and actually raise the child instead of letting them just grow up.

Get a grip "parents" and become the parent  NOT their friend, they can make all the friends they need later. If you are their parent it is not always a fun job but it is that a JOB.

They will respect you and thank you later in life for being their parents.

Answer 5

i also belive in spanking as a last resort but u r judging these ppl, stop looking down on ppls parenting. belive it or not there are alot of good kids that grew up to be good ppl and they were nvr spanked. it takes a dam good parent to talk to there kid and teach them right from wrong then to just hit them ever time they do somthing wrong. this is just ur opionion. ur just as bad as those ppl that dont belive in spanking and go around telling the ppl that do spank there kids there child abusers! let the parent be the parent and ask a question that is a question and not u just ranting bc ur not cofident in your self as a parent so u have to look down at other parents. get a life and go wach ur child instead of waseting ur time on here.

Answer 6

at first i tried not to spank i was abused as a child not spanked but beat and tortured, but guess what if i spank my kid like your supposed to spank it really works it is better than time out. my nephew who is 3 told me shut up i hate you in front of a roomful of people and i spanked him right there because he needed it. i believe the kids of back when were way more respectful and tended to behave better because they knew if they didnt guess what they were gonna get it and it was feraed and it hurt. time out is just a temporary downsetl to a kid after that they get out and its over spanking is a thing to look forward to all day cause it hurts and kids dont like pain. you cuss in school and the teacher used to be able to paddle you and you had to go home and tell mom what happened and mom would either spank you or say wait till your dad gets home and guess what that all day fear of what was gonna happen when dad got home was enough to not make you do what you did again. thats what we need to go back to.

Answer 7

people will always do things wrong u cant hit them for it , its just not how society works

Answer 8

I absolutely agree with you. Good old fashioned discipline works best. There is a saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Ever since spanking has become a bad thing the world has grown progressively worse. Now we all can guess why. Children NEED discipline. A good mother is not afraid of using harsh punishment neither is a good father. Wake up people

Answer 9

lol, I'm with you.

I don't believe tantrums are a normal thing.  And children today are too wussified and spoiled.

You should check out Bill Ingvall's (sp?) bit on spanking (he's a comedian).

Answer 10

I am a mother of 5 (hopefully 6 soon) and ALL my kids primary discipline are time-outs (except for my 13 year old who gets things taken away). They are very well behaved.

When I'm in public, I do the same thing. My child acts up, and they go sit in time-out. They do the same routine, just in another location. My 13 year old just gives me her cell phone if she acts up in public (attitude is mostly our issue with her in public).

Yes, every now and then they get a spanking, but that is rare. Most of the time is when they do something really dangerous. Then it is quick learning. I think the main reason I do this is because time-outs give them time to think about what they did. Spanking just gives them some pain and then it's over.

Answer 11

It's the new liberal generation! Anything they don't agree with must be done away with! If spankings send a wrong message, then how come you never see adults in a spanking fight? Kids who get spanked understand that it's a punishment, just as kids who get grounded!

Answer 12

I'm not allowed to go around hitting total strangers who peeve me off; why hit my kids? They're well-behaved, and I've never had to spank.
