It depends on why he is doing it OP--do you have other behavior problems, when did this start, and what is his general emotional state?

A lot of the "punishers" may have kids who don't have functioning issues. The kid tried out something new with mom, dad took him down some pegs, and everyone cheers. I'm cheering too, if the kid learned his lesson and is generally adaptive. I think letting a flexible, well functioning kid get away with that is bad parenting.

Unfortunately, for many kids who say "I hate you" on a regular basis, it's the tip of the iceberg. If the "I hate you" response to frustration isn't the biggest problem you're dealing with, then you need to start with the biggest problem...  because that's what is causing the issue. Getting bent out of shape over "I hate you" when a kid may be depressed, anxious, have other major problems with self control (ADHD/ oppositional defiance) is going to escalate your issue. [/quote]
