[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am also shocked that this is happening in 2015. I was spanked as a child and, just like our parents smoked and drank while pregnant and no one wore seatbelts, I assume it was because these were uneducated people that didn't know any better. I cannot believe that anyone thinks this is ok and ESPECIALLY do it in such a sick, sadistic way as laying them over your lap and hugging and kissing them afterward. Dear Lord! No wonder people are in abusive relationships as adults![/quote]

Spanking has not proven to be harmful the way smoking during pregnancy, or not wearing seatbelts has.[/quote]

I'm not saying it is just as harmful. I'm saying that I assumed people spanked their kids because they didn't know any better. Now that people know better, why are they still doing it? (PS I am also amazed that people still smoke or drink while pregnant or drive without seatbelts)[/quote]

There's nothing to "know better" regarding spanking. Used carefully and correctly, it's very effective.[/quote]

I could not disagree more.[/quote]

Why? Have you tried it and found that it wasn't useful in your case?[/quote]

Do you spank?

I'm another PP, but yes I did it twice, and it made me feel terrible, and made my child cry.  It didn't work at all.  And there has been a slew of research - good research that shows it does not work.  [b]If it works so well, why do you have to keep spanking?  If it worked, wouldn't you only have to do it once?[/b][/quote]

Flawed logic.  If time outs or taking away a privilege works so well, why do you have to it more than once?  I don't know how many times my kids have lost electronic time (their favorite thing in this entire world), and yet, they still occasionally do things that lead to loss of the privilege.[/quote][/quote]

Do you spank is what I am asking?  [/quote]
