re: Is it wrong to spank your kids in public?

I've never done it but I could see where it would be justified.
But the parent has to understand that when you spank in Public - or in front of friends or family - you're adding an element to their punishment and that's embarrassment. I would save my kid from that if I could.
A slap on the butt stings and sends a message. Humiliation is another level and probably not fair play.

Spanking in general is wrong. If you have to beat your kid to make them act right you are doing something wrong.

Nope, I also spank my wife in public if she deserves it.

Bull-fricking-chit
Kids, all kids, will act up at times. Some more than others. Period
My son was splitting time between his moms place and my house before he started pre-K. When he was 3-ish/4-ish I get him from her along with the warning that he is starting to act out in grocery stores. I ask if she "handled it" and she says yes...he got Time -Out when they got home. (Don't get me started)
Fast forward one week and I take him to the grocery store with me. Around the cereal aisle he starts acting up wanting a certain cereal (of course...for the "prize). I explain to him that he has 4 dofferent types of cereal at home and he's not getting any more till some of those are gone. He instantly lays down on floor and starts raising cain.... bad move.
I stand him up spin him around and give him a couple of lesson teaching pops on the rear. Tears follow followed by silence. I explain to him if he ever tries that again Dad will carry him out to the parking lot where the whooping will be way more severe on his hiney.
Never had to discipline him for that again...ever. The bottom line is
kids will cross the line. It's in their nature to push the limits to see what they can get away with. It's your job as a parent to set those limits, however you feel necessary.

Hell know!!!! Beat that arse!!! Part of doing it in public is the embarrassment to the kid. That does more damage to their psychi than the spanking ever could.

If my kid does something in public to deserve a spanking then his arse is gonna get whipped. Waiting until you get home is pointless.

Mine are 18 and 24 presently... but whether or not I whipped em in public, depended on how pissed off they got me!

I don't have any kids of my own, I got my arse tore up when I did something grievous, I don't hate my parents, I hold no ill will towards them, I learned my lessons through pain and tried like hell to not repeat my behavior.
You can tell little Johnny "don't stick your hand in that flame" till you're blue in the face, but until he burns himself, he'll never understand why you were telling him that. Some lessons are learned through pain, some lessons are learned through nurture. I don't think spanking is the end all be all when it comes to child discipline, but it is an effective tool that when used properly can be of a benefit to both you and your child.
Now, my dad told me recently what his father said to him when my oldest brother got to the age where spanking was acceptable. He said "If you tell your son that if he does 'x' one more time that he's gonna get a whipping and he does it again, you'd better keep your promise and whip him. Kids see more than you think and they'll see that as a weakness on your part and think they're in control."
I think that was a good piece of advice and it worked on me because after I got my arse whipped a few times I started listening.

Spanking a child that trusts you implicitly doesnt seem like it's a good idea for any location.
Posted on 9/26/17 at 5:48 pm to Hawgnsincebirth55
It's not if you love them.

All my parents had to do was tell me I was getting a spanking when I got home. As a kid, I thought me acting like an angel for the rest of the day might change their minds. I kept doing it, even though it never worked for me. It worked perfectly for them until the day I realized there was no need to behaving well when I would get the whipping once we got home. That's when they started grounding me.

My dad usually waited until we got home for a butt whipping but acting an arse in public was a big no no with him

That's exactly what my parents did. I always got that whipping when we got home. I'd go in my room and my dad would always come whip my butt.

No kids of my own and not sure how I would handle it but I would probably unconsciously fallback on what my parents did.
My mom used to this to my brother and I when we got out of hand, and sometimes on the leg, too.
If we ever did get out of line with our dad around, he would grab one our ears or grab the hair on the lowest part on the back of our head. Leading us to the car like pups and we dreaded the ride back knowing our punishment when we got home.
Though, like someone mentioned earlier about "The Look", that was another signal my parents used that some discipline was coming down the pike.

Would you hit a grown person if they upset you in public? The answer is no. Hitting a defenseless child in public or private shows that you are weak minded and cannot raise a kid properly. I raise my daughter with discipline without physical altercations. It's not that difficult. The excuse that your parents did it is reductive and weak too. I look forward to my daughter being your kids boss one day.

Dear baby Jesus you are a very literal person , it should have been obvious to anybody above twelve . Here's a hint - turn your sarcasm meter up .
