I love all the “I was spanked and I turned out fine” people over here on DCUM. Like is there one person on this forum that’s fine? Isn’t that why we are here, because we aren’t fine?! |
Why do you spend time on those forums? You're sick. |

When they speak up about CIO then I'll give a crap what they recommend. Spanking a CHILD is not okay but letting a BABY cry itself to sleep is fine? What BS. |
LOL what? |
who asked you to conflate these two things? |
What? Hitting a child is physically abusive. Leaving a baby to cry itself to sleep is emotionally neglectful and manipulative but it is pretty different than hitting. I am fine with a strong anti-spanking stance and radio silence on sleep training. |

'When they speak up about CIO then I'll give a crap what they recommend. Spanking a CHILD is not okay but letting a BABY cry itself to sleep is fine? What BS.' NO ONE and i repeat no one, asked you to conflate these two things. |
omg some of you think you are on here and you are 'fine'. that's hilarious. you're on an anonymous message board defending your desire to hit children to strangers. You're not fine. none of us are fine or we'd be like - reading a book or spending time with friends or family instead of yelling 'HITTING CHILDREN IS GREAT AND FINE' at some randos on the internet. |
side note sometimes you sleep through baby crying or are in the shower. babies cry ALL the time. not stopping babies crying instantly is not the same as actively walloping a small human. |
This cracked me up PP. Agree that no one on DCUM is "fine"! |
Hilarious. You win. I actually came to defend occasional spanking, although I have never spanked my own. But you’re right |
OK, so teaching a tiny baby they can't count on their parents to take care of their needs so they might as well give up or just run out of energy crying and fall asleep is okay with you -- but you flinch at spanking. Again, what BS. CIO is abuse. |
you may well be right but this is not the subject of this thread, nor are those saying spanking is not fine, saying cio is. we are also not saying killing giraffes on safari, putting electric collars on dogs, rubbing cats noses in their own poop, locking kids in their room in time out, 'the silent treatment' for a spouse or partner, firing someone without notice, firing a pregnant person, emotional affairs, affairs when your spouse has dementia, quick remarriage after widowhood, and innumerable other perceived transgressions are or are not ok. we are talking about hitting kids. so please, stay on message. |
Same and I wonder the same. Instead of the honors teacher or whatever, I wish I could choose the strict teacher. |
