well my dear, if the kid is too stupid to understand why he gets grounded or time outed. Then what makes you think he can understand the reason why you hit him? If he is stupid then he is stupid period. If he is not that stupid though. Over time he will get the message.
agnostic huh? me too. I guess this topic has more to do with religious cruelty then discipline of children. This cruelty is one of the reasons I changed my views on religion. I still like the basic christian message. But I don't let it define me.
How about taking the cat away? and ground him for a week. or give him a time out a minute per age. In case he throws a tantrum because of it. which is always possible. Ignore totally and completely, and let him throw his tantrum. In the best case, he will get the message that screaming is not...
Actually being intimate with what you fear, is a good way to help you get over it. Because that way you get to find out whether what you fear is actually true and not just in your mind. But sex? Really?
It wouldn't take sex for me. Cuddling is plenty. But then again. I find sex to be filthy.
I am sure they don't even hear their stomachs when it's hungry. They only eat by instinct on specific times, unless they have a pedicure to do. And they call themselves good parents.
I Would like to know how adults will be kept within bounds. Since they are the ones that do the most immoral things. And talking about returns. We need to return to the time and age where cheating on your partner was prison worthy. That way there will be less cheating and less divorces.
I would fully support a ban. Although I am sure many will continue. And when I referred to me having the right to hit. I didn't mean my parents. I meant generally. If I am not allowed to hit, why should anyone be allowed to hit me. When they would go to jail without a second thought. If they did...
I am ****** up. But I am not an arrogant. Live and let live. As an agnostic with theistic tendencies and lover of christian principles. I would say don't let anything or anyone define you or determine your life. Only the big guy will judge.
you mean lazy parents right? Who want everything done last year, and do not want to make any effort at all to learn how to treat people (kids are people too.) with respect. And yet at the same time demand respect. If respect is not a two way street in the exact same terms. One party is an...
how is drinking any relevant to treating people with respect. Kids are people too.
They are entitled to the same respect. Especially if they are going to do things only to please you.
I never assumed it was harmful because it harmed me. But as I said most of the people I have met, had issues because of their childhood spankings. So yeah. I don't assume. They told me. But so many people assume that it isn't harmful because they weren't affected. But this doesn't prove no one...
I wouldn't rely on laws the way they became. In a few years we might end up having to pay taxes for sleeping any other way than barefoot. gOVernments are becoming weirder by the millionth of a second. So do people. What we need is better education and parenting as well as child psychology, has...
The majority of people I have met that were spanked as children, suffer from all kinds of issues because of it. And only a few of them actually are ok. When will people stop assuming things solely based on their own experience. I was also spanked and I can honestly say, I am ****** up.
