Kill the kid and make another one.
Kill the kid and make another one.
See, I was raised with a *thwap* now and then. That's just how old fashioned Mexicans are... It's the same way my mom was raised and my grandparents, and we've all turned out alright.
I was watching this George Lopez standup special on Comedy Central the other day, and everything he was talking about is so true. *thwap* Why you crying? My mom and I kept waiting for him to say, "I'll give you something to cry about!" I guess you wouldn't really understand if you weren't Mexican.
"We all turned out alright" is... dumb. People keep saying that. Yeah, kids who get raped usually turn out "alright," but it's still better to not get raped. And, no, I don't think getting smacked it nearly as bad as child rape; it's just the first example that came to mind.
Why use more effective and positive parenting and raise better people when you can just smack them and raise people that came out alright? Raising children is not the place to get lazy.

I understand it perfectly and I'm not Mexican. It was a terrible feeling and did not produce loving feelings towards my parents. Just resentment. Mind you, yes I still loved them, but that resentment lasts a long time and if it happened to a different kid I could see the <i>smashing in the stereo</i> part coming into play.Originally Posted by Strider

What about yelling?
I know I would rather be spanked than yelled at any time.
Well, it wasn't all the time.
Spanking =/= smacking your kids around every day.
Meh, I only listened to the theme music, everything else wasnt too interesting...

In Soviet Russia, child discipline YOU

Selling the Xbox is one thing. smurfing around with your kids like this is another. These are simply bad (and probably unintelligent) parents.
...If they really exist, that is.
I'm not saying wrong or right, but it's my experience that parents who refrain from spankings altogether have horrible children. No kid cares if you put them in a corner or take away their toys for awhile. They'll be pissed for a bit, but it's not going to give them a reason to not do the act again. That may work for preteens or teens, but that never worked for me as a kid.
I'm not saying tear their tail up everytime they misbehave. But, stronger disobedience sometimes takes stronger punishment.
And while that link is funny.. if real, it will backfire completely.

Selling the kids X-box is a brilliant idea. I'm not sure I agree with the box of coal on a Christmas morning though - that seems to be taking it really far. Seeing as I think when a child does something wrong you should punish them at the time for it, not carry it on for weeks. But, the kid deserves to have his X-box sold. I'd do the same thing.

As I said.. In my experience.

I think I'm with Leeza on this one. I was also spanked, and, I know it's surprising, but it's really not all that great!Sure, it gets the point across, and I just might be better behaved because of it, but it also helped screw my relationship up with my dad. I don't think that's what he wanted when he hit me.
