Maybe so. I know for sure there are a few who could do with some improved clarity on who is in charge and who isn't, and their parents will tell you they'd NEVER lay even a soft hand on their little spoiled a-hole of a kid.

Kids are all different. I'm not saying it's the only way, but I am saying that some kids absolutely need it.

Probably the only thing you and I seemingly don't agree on is that I do not think spanking is necessary for all boys.
Oh it's not all boys. Each child is unique regardless of their sex.

My sister absolutely needed to be spanked when she was younger. She was wild as hell and needed more discipline. Her son never needed to be spanked. He's a really good, sensitive kid who never had to get to that because timeout and threats of taking away toys or other items always worked on him.

Not all boys need to be spanked, not all girls don't need to be spanked.

If anyone feels that being hit is the best way to curb behavior, I say be consistent. If you frick up at work, your boss gets to punch you in the face.

I spanked my kids unfortunately and I can say it had no effect. Other means of behavior control worked much better.

Solid logic there. Only one problem. I own my own company and don't have a boss. It's a damn shame my marine grandfather spanked me so much and instilled enough discipline for me to create my own plan to escape that world in my 20s

Spanking didn’t teach you life lessons. Spanking is a means of discipline for not following those lessons.

When you think about it, it’s a terrible way to teach a child about life. Physical violence is not the punishment when you are a teenager or adult, so why is it when you’re a child?

When we spanked our kids, we found that the only end result was that we were scaring the shite out of them. Kids should not feel scared in their own home. We later found that non-violent means of discipline not only worked better, but improved their overall moral, which lead to better behavior.

And before you call me a snowflake, just know that in my kids’ circles I’m known as the “strict” dad. Even my 12yo has strict limits on devices. One hour per day, then the phone automatically shuts down. Find me another parent practicing the same.

The second one got her butt spanked allllllll the time and it didn't work. She is just as strong willed at 16 as she was at 3


I've only ever had to spank my older son once, but damn, my younger daughter is another story. Her butt stays red. That girl is as stubborn as they come.

I must be the super strict dad. My 12-year-old will not get a phone. He straight up doesn't need it. Maybe when he's driving.

My little boy is 3 and he catches a whipping about 2 times a week.

Usually it's when he pulls her hair or hits or is overly mean.

I mean Can you people not see why this is not working?

Right?? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

If that dude needs to whip his kid twice a week, it’s time to reevaluate his parenting methods.

I go by the axiom punish your kids the minimum amount it takes to correct the behavior you want to see changed. I have three boys ages 6 and under. I'd guess I spank each kid around twice a week. We use the strike system and if they get to three strikes its spanking time.

But if they do something egregious like talk back or disrespect their mom its an immediate spanking. My mother in law basically thinks Im too hard on them because I got spanked too much as a kid myself. I don’t know how common it is or not, but my wife and I receive compliments on their behavior an amount that we appreciate.

Let me turn that around, and ask you this:
in other words you don’t have an answer

But I have one for you - if the 1.5 y/o starts to climb and I tell him no - he gets one chance - then I raise my voice for the second time, the third is a warning of incoming spanking - 3 strikes you’re out - so he gets spanked

This may happen a few times before he’s 6, so by the time he’s 6 he should know better - if not - he gets spanked without a warning

For some kids spanking doesn’t work - I get that - I have one of those

I’ve encountered many of your daughters that clearly were not spanked. Don’t worry Dads, I took care of it for you.
