[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids don't hit me.  They all tried it..once...and I reacted pretty much how you did. I didn't slap them in the face, but I calmly spanked them.  Guess what? Right, they don't hit me.  You can listen to all the "don't punish violence with violence bleeding heart waa waa crap", or you can do what I did, and raise respectful children who don't hit their parents.  I didn't spank my kids except a few times when it was necessary for their safety, or when they crossed a major line, like hitting.  They also got spanked when they hit each other.  When done in a calm and methodical way, spanking is a useful tool.[/quote]

Wow there is a whole lot of hitting going on in your house. Your kids aren't learning anything. You hit, they hit, you all hit. You cannot teach a child not to hit by hitting them. It's not bleeding heart crap. It's basic logic and common sense. And guess what - I also am raising respectful children who don't hit their parents. And I somehow am managing to do it without being physically violent with them. Fascinating, isn't it?[/quote]

NP here.  I have no problem with how you parent you kid/ brat/ whatever.  But just because someone spanks their child does not make them "physically violent" you asshole.  [/quote]

NP here. Yes, it does. It's fine if that's what you want to do and that's your parenting style, but don't delude yourself that spanking isn't violent. Of course it is, and for some people this works for them. I'm actually not judging it one way or the other. I personally was spanked, and it was violent, I can attest to that.. Am I scarred by it? No. Do I spank my kids? No, I don't. So that's where I'm coming from - I can literally see both sides. But I know violent acts when I see it, and this idiot PP a few posts above saying she calmly spanks her kid is delusional, and so are you if you don't think spanking someone is violent. [/quote]

I was spanked too and it WAS NOT violent.  FWIW I have no idea if I will ever spank my kids but for you to say it is always 100% violent is not true.  Sure some crazies take it to the extreme but NO a quick smack for shock value is not violent.  Whipping a child with a paddle yes that is.  There IS a difference.  I am not arguing with you since it sounds like thats what you want but you are wrong.[/quote]

No, I'm not wrong. Spanking is hitting, period. Thinking there is any true difference between "whipping" and "smacking" - really? There is no difference. A quick smack for shock value is violent. Your little attempt at semantics doesn't change anything. Nor does your announcing that you're not arguing with me make you not actually arguing with me. I found that hilarious actually. "I'm not responding to this, I'm just going to respond to this." But hey, parent how you want. What works for you in your household, great. But I'm not going to let a public comment that smacking isn't violent go unchallenged. [/quote]

There is a HUGE difference between a smack on the hand and whipping someone.  You are a complete moron!  Seriously there is a huge difference…and you are arguing without knowing what the hell you are talking about.  Maybe if you made sense I would want to read and try and agree but you are acting like a fool![/quote]
