Spankings

[ayani]

ouch.

no, i'm not well with hitting kids. being firm with children and making rules, of course. but not striking or waling a kid.

i don't find anything especially creepy about spankings. i don't much approve, though.

It really depends on the kid. My mom used to "ground" me, which meant I had to stay inside...with my books. And she wouldn't bother me about going to play with my nasty neighbor kids. Heavenly! I looked to get grounded quite a bit.

If she'd taken away my books, that would've killed me!

Now, keeping my brother at home...that worked *really* well on him. He was always out socializing.

With my kids, you take my son's computer priveleges away, and he sure will notice. Especially if, now that he has so much available time, he has to put it to good use helping me out with chores around the house. :devil:

My mom was smart and a reader. She took my books away. She would spank if neccessary but usually that was enough punishment for me! I DIE without my books!

I think there is a difference between spanking and whipping. In the animal kingdom young mammals are scolded by nurturing adults. Rarely do you see animals become overly vicious with the young.
I know we are above the animals in evaluation (I say lightly).

I think that explains my position fairly well. On rare occasions, we will spank, but it's a last resort. It's never extreme whippings or anything like that!
