Quite good for conservative circlejerking, I'm sure.
Lmao
When they had you. When you have kids it's not about you, it's about them.
This isn't necessarily true. Centuries ago and before people would often have many children because it made tasks get done quicker because of the extra workload. Children were often raised in medeival times up to the 1800s to help around the house.
Plus, if parents disciplined properly they wouldn't need to use an abrasive approach.
You'd expect children to be 100% disciplined? Unless this is china or something, I don't think so. It's not "abrasive" if done correctly. My parents spanked me when I was a kid and I learned quick about how to behave. This would be a shocker for you: I still loved them afterwards. Of course there's that feeling of resentment but it goes away after a few hours. That is, if you actually did anything wrong in the first place (parents would be the judge of that).
Children and teenagers can be far more logical than people give them credit for.
There are lots of smart kids in the world, and many of them learned how to behave logically because they were spanked when they misbehaved. I'm not going to provide examples though but if you're really interested to find out you can look around the internet yourself and see.
Instead of beating you to make you fear them, instead of beating you to make you fear the rod should you start slipping up in school, they could have done any number of non-violent things instead.
Smart kids fear their parents, and they fear punishment. Spare the rod, spoil the child.
You know, like talking to you. Not a conversation where they tell you, but where they talk to you. Share with you things they learned, demonstrated the importance of education, so on and so forth. I know when my friend wanted to give up school to become a rapper or something equally stupid, his parents kept him in because they explained to him the importance of education in regards to a job, a paying job to fund his dream. There's always another way. And you know, talking to your kids helps more than in one way. It forms bonds.
This is true, but spanking doesn't really relate to this. Unless of course, you're saying it's more effective for parents to punish kids who acted like urchins by sitting down and playing counselor with them than administering a spanking, because that's wrong.
I'm not even going to grace what Plant said with a response. I can't believe someone is actually trying to show that a banister or a scribbled-on wall should be taken more seriously than their child's well-being.
Spanking refers to the act of striking the buttocks of another person to cause temporary pain without producing physical injury.
I didn't die when my dad constantly put me down and hurt me, both via spanking and verbally.
I wasn't physically injured.
I tried to forget the incident the next day.
Do I have to keep going on?
Assuming i'm reading this correctly, you're contradicting yourself.
Spanking leaves more marks than a red ass.
No it doesn't. What you're talking about is child abuse. Spanking should never leave long-lasting marks. When you get the opportunity, slap yourself hard on your bare thigh 4-6 times. You'll notice it hurts right? It also has red marks too, but they go away after a varying number of minutes.
