[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there are enough women getting beaten in this world, I am not going to contribute to that by hitting my own daughter. Parents who spank are ill ignorant and lack much needed skills to deal with stress. I would stop being friends with a mom who  spanked.  [/quote]

What you refuse to even consider is that spanking is not a means to deal with stress. It's a discipline tool. When you put your daughter in time out is that a means to deal with stress or a tool you use to teach her something. When you take something away from your daughter to teach her a lesson is that a means to deal with stress or a discipline tool. Spanking is a discipline tool used by some/many parents. It should be done in a controlled manner. What is truly a pity is that even given the 13 pages of comments on both sides of the fence, those who don't spank continue to paint those who do as barbaric and ignorant etc. If you choose not to spank no problem. But who is being ignorant when one dismisses those who do spank unequivocally and then proceeds to state that if you become aware of a friend who spanks their kid you will cease to be friends immediately.[/quote]

Sorry I just can't get past the fact that it's acceptable to do a child but not a dog. [/quote]
