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

I dont spank often. I soank my oldest son because he occasionally wants to be an a-hole to his little brother...he will glare at him to try to scare him. I will reel him in with a lesson on what the pecking order is.

I have no problem with a swat in public. I do think that some go over the top.

My parents never spanked me and I dont have kids yet but my dad was very adept at the low key, firm grip on the back of the neck that somehow spread his thoughts into my brain on how I was currently being a little shite and that I should immediately calm down.


I think he should be studied by science for having some real life Vulcan Mind Meld

Yes, tell your kids they will get a spanking when we get home and watch them act like an angel for the rest of the trip.

It sounds like the spankings weren't really effective for you then.

There is a difference between spanking and beating kids, but evidently there are adults who think both are the same so if your kid does something and you spank them in public you run the risk of someone calling child services or reporting you to whoever.

If I did something in which my parents found out after the fact, they would wait until we got home to deal with it, but.... especially my mom.. If she would tell me to do something or stop doing something and I didn't listen, she didn't think twice about hauling off and slapping the piss out of me.. And when it came to getting spanked or whatever, there was nothing more I hated than a hand across the face.

Yup, in the real adult world it's perfectly accepted to beat people who annoy you in grocery stores so why wouldn't we also bloody up our children a bit?

If your child doesn't know the psychological trauma of being scared when you get home from work, how well adjusted can you expect the child to be when he grows up?

My dad knocked a tooth or two out when I was a kid and my ego would never let me admit that I'm anything less than a perfect person so obviously child abuse is the right way to go.

Dude theres a difference between getting a swat across the arse and beatig a kid, and you know that.

Most of the time when I got spanked (which was rarely) that shite didn't even hurt, it just made me feel really guilty because what I did warranted action from my parents.

Slap the piss out of that little bastard one good time.. In public.. Where it will embarrass him..

how would you go about doing this?

Wait, there are dumb, barbaric buttfricks out there that still spank their kids?

Damn, that’s depressing.

This is hilarious coming from someone that confronted a group of people like a 5 year old only 2 days ago.

I should stay inside like a scared schoolgirl and not talk to a group of adults about them damaging my home

Well that's not at all what you did.

But I should physically harm a child a third my size.

Spanking a kid doesn't harm the kid. It hurts for 30 seconds.

I could make the same argument if I had punched one of the democrats on the golf course the other day. Never once considered taking a swing at them.

I hurt my kids much, much longer than 30 seconds when I take all of their electronics away.

Listen, I was raised in the south and thought spanking was a necessity. My opinion on sparking changed before I even had kids when I met a parent who had the most well-behaved kids I ever met. Inquired about her and her husband’s parenting style and the first thing they said was we talk and punish without the need for physical strikes.

Read a few books on it and talked to the mrs and we ended up taking the same approach when we had kids. Ours are 9 and 12 and I’ve never needed to spank them. Wanted to a few times, but once cooled down, the urge went away.

There are other options that work instead of physical pain.

Maybe next time you frick up, you can ask your boss to frick you in the arse for 30 seconds instead of giving you a few days off without pay. I mean, it’s only 30 seconds....but the memory will remain.
