[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good friend of mine spanks.  I do not.  Her kids are better behaved than mine are. I sometimes question my decision not to spank; however, my kids are now 9 and 10 so too old to spank now anyway. Good friend highly educated as is her husband. [/quote]
Spanking is not reserved for the poor and uneducated. I know several parents who spank across the SES divide. What this thread is about is the form of discipline used by parents that just don't know any better (or those who parent they way they were parented). The yelling, cursing, shoving, snatching up, verbal abuse, cursing, etc... is what this thread is about.

Whether or not you agree with it, no person in their right mind would compare spanking with what you see in some areas or the extreme behavior that is being discussed in this thread. Spanking by nature isn't abuse; it may not be an accepted form of discipline in most homes but it doesn't constitute abuse.  If it did, the courts would have intervened decades ago.[/quote]
