Yep, but to pretend that there aren’t A LOT of parents like that out there is a mistake.

Seriously. People always see things differently because it's their own parents but if anyone else was telling you that story of them doing that to their kid, it usually hits a bit differently then.

Pretty sure you entirely missed my point, but that's fine.
You're point that "quickly smacking your children won't solve your problems"

My point is - sometimes children, particularly boys need the threat for a physical repercussions in order to behave correctly.

If my child misbehaves and other techniques do not work but then a spank does and he's a better adjusted kid for it then I'm doing it.

He listens better, he hits less, and he behaves in social settings (restaurants, planes etc) better because he knows if he doesn't the his daddy will pop his arse. I will not apologize for doing what's worked for millennia's.

I'm 30 and I'm sick and tired of all of these new age jackasses thinking that they know better than everyone who has come before them.

I don't use a belt or a switch on him but that open handed pop on the rear end works like a damn charm

Please tell me more 20 year old without children.

If spanking were a highly effective discipline tool, black and Hispanic kids would be the best behaved ever.
So you just gonna ignore fatherhood rates completely now?

Talk about an oversimplification.

How about you join the conversation when you actually have a child but first answer me this- if your kid starts biting other kids at his school how you gonna positive reinforce your way out of it?

What if he won't stay in timeout because what are you gonna do- hold his face in the corner?

And let's say when you take away his toys he doesn't care.

Educate me- please.

Lazy parenting. There are more effective ways to discipline. Those techniques take effort, which is why lazy parents still spank.

Ya'll can call me whatever stupid names you want, but I don't believe in spanking.

I never have and never will spank my girls. I'm sure it works to instill fear. But I don't want them afraid of me because I'll hit them.

I want them to be afraid of disappointing me. I don't think beating them would achieve that.

And my point is you didn't just do it 1 time and that was that, you have had to do it multiple times. That was the discussion being had, that you can spank a 1 year old one time and never had to worry about him doing that thing again. Not my words, but that was what was being stated. That is absolutely not so.

More to the point, it was that it won't immediately solve that problem and you can just assume 1 smack and you never have to worry about that again.

Again, not a knock on you but this proves what I'm saying in relation to what I was replying to. He hits less, he didn't get popped 1 time and then never hit anyone again. That's all I was replying to previously.

I’m over 35 but I didn’t spank my kids when they were younger. Physical violence to get someone to behave like you want is not a lesson I wanted to teach them

It's REALLY obvious who has actually raised an iron headed boy vs who hasn't in this thread



I know some people who are all 100% positive reinforcement, and their little boys are spoiled assholes. The parents are just too starstruck with their little man to see it.

I'm early 40s and think the idea of spanking a 1 year old terrible. That's a baby.

My two year old has pushed me to the limits, but I'd never spank her.

She's hit and scratched before. I teach her not to do that and to touch gently and it works. Hitting her for hitting seems stupid.

Probably why your wife had to spank them, you weren't being an effective disciplinarian.

I don't know your life or anything about you but if your wife was resorting to hitting your children with dog leashes snd you never spanked them at all then 1 or 2 things have to be true:

1) Your wife is literally a psychopath and shouldn't the allowed around children.

2) Your children were bad and were never scared of their father disciplining them so their mother had to go over the top to try and keep them in line.

Never spanked my little girls either, literally not one time. Timeout snd taking toys away works.

Oh an open handed spank on the butt is now "beating". I'll call you that name now- Pussy.

Name one discipline technique ever that you can do once snd the kid never misbehaves again.

Obviously it's not a magic wand that makes the child into the perfect citizen.

Raising a child isn't about immediate results and they instantly become you hope of them. It's a growth slowly over time and you mold them to give them all the tools in the world to be successful and a positive force onto the world,

For boys the main thing they need in my opinion is discipline.

Painfully obvious man. Or who was a hardheaded boy too.

They're the exact same people that make sure everyone gets a trophy.

That's my point. I never said any one technique would work, but multiple posters did indeed say 1 spanking and they'd never do that behavior again, so yes, it sounds like we're in agreement.

yea, we're definitely in agreement as that was my exact argument for discipline. We just do it in different ways but the same general philosophy


Probably the only thing you and I seemingly don't agree on is that I do not think spanking is necessary for all boys.

In fairness, whether you know they're doing it or not, I bet you also know parents who hit their kids and their kids are assholes too

A smack on the butt and beating a kid out of anger are two very different things.

I've seen both in public. Most people believe they are doing the former but really are doing the latter.
