[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pregnant and don't have a kid yet but in my house spanking happened but extraordinarily rarely. Generally a result of a 'you just scared me to death' moments.

I suppose they were 'out of control' in those moments but there is something about seeing such fear in your parents eyes that convinces you that what you were doing really was dangerous. MUCH more convincing than 'sitting me down to talk to me about the rules of the pool' as some pp suggested. When used so sparingly it was very effective on us. And none of us feel traumatized by it.

You really think seeing the fear in a parents eyes and face, maybe their tears, getting yelled at, getting gripped hard by the arm and yanked away from the pool...all of that wouldn't be enough but the child also needs to be spanked? Yeah okay you have no clue how children's minds work then. It doesn't matter what the situation is there is ALWAYS another way. One that doesn't involve hitting an innocent child.[/quote]

Well I'm talking about my personal experience as a child and my thought prices as I recall it. Something I'm pretty sure I'm more an expert on than you. [/quote]

The point is that you haven't gotten what you need to understand without getting hit. That does not mean there was no other way it just means your parents didn't use that other way. That's not quite the same now is it?[/quote]

There were plenty of things I understood. As I said this happened very rarely. There was a uniqueness to the spanking that alerted me that I had really really terrified my parents. I don't really think true terror can be conveyed through calm conversation. I'm sure there are other methods than spanking but that worked in our house. I also don't think I was innocent in those moments. I had done something really bad!

Every parent has a breaking point when they freak out a bit. Whether that manifests through spanking or yelling or whatever it happens. Or you're a robot. Seeing your parents freak out (if its rare and tied to something serious) is definitely valuable in my opinion. It prepares kids for the real world![/quote]
