[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, as a white mom my kids know this is abuse. They are taught hitting another person is wrong. If you hit you are out of control. [/quote]

Really?

As an Asian mom I spank my kids when I think it's needed. My kids know this is serious.  They are taught to not be disrespectful to their parents.  If you do, you are out of control.  No, they are NOT toddlers as was the case OP was referring to.  [/quote]

I'm asian, i would never ever ever ever ever spank my children even though i was.

I have a 7, 10, 12 year age gap with my siblings and I was pretty much the only one spanked even though i was the best behaved. It is definitely a generational/age thing.

Are you an immigrant? [/quote]

PP, I think in your case you were traumatized by the fact that you were the only one spanked in your family.  However, with that large age gap, are you sure your older siblings didn't get spanked when they were very  young and you were not even born?  Are your kids toddler age or ES?  That makes a difference on your viewpoint.  I didn't spank my kids when they young toddlers.

I am an immigrant, but came here at 1, so essentially I was brought up here.  My siblings and I were all spanked growing up, some more than others depending on the behaviour.  But I know plenty of non-immigrants that spank their kids, too.  I know white women who do it.  [/quote]

PP. I am the oldest of the four. we were all born here and I was in the house for long enough to see my siblings grow up on a daily basis so I know exactly how they were treated.

Spanking is uncivilized and morally wrong at any age. [/quote]

Given that civility and morality are subjective, I will disagree with you.  The Roman civilization was considered one of the most civilized and respected empire in history, but they engaged in pedophilia as part of their culture..  They thought that was civilized, too.  Civility is subjective.

I think you were just traumatized for being singled out. If all your siblings were spanked, would you feel the same?  Who knows, not even you know the answer to that.[/quote]
