[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is reportable in my state. Does SIL have access to other kids? I’d never leave my kid with her again. Not okay. People who love us shouldn’t hit us.[/quote]

No it isn’t. You can spank your kids in all 50 states.

Does SIL have kids of her own? This context matters. If she has kids of her own and spank her own kids or she is childless.

The very few times I can see how spanking is justified is due to extreme safety concerns. Those are almost running into a the road and anything to do with swimming pools.

The risk of drowning is so incredibly high for kids that pool safety is one thing I was a stickler for. At our own home pool there was no negotiation for getting out of the pool or not going near the pool. I needed my kids and any of their friends to listen the first time when I said get out. I gave a 5 min warning and if a guest didn’t get of the pool and made a scene they weren’t invited back. For example before going in I tell the kids if I need to go inside to get snacks or go to the bathroom they need to take a 5 min break outside of the pool. [/quote]
