Today, I took my four year old son to the playground. When it was time to go, he squirmed out of my arms back to the jungle gym. Not being the type of mother to put up with bad behavior, I swatted his rear and told him we had to go. That's when I realized I'd just spanked the wrong child who was wearing the same coat as my son. FML

Forever, you can't compare molestation and spanking. I was spanked as a child, and I'm not brainwashed or scarred. I have a 4 year old, and while I have not spanked her, once she is old enough to know right from wrong, I will if I need to. Corporal punishment will not land you in jail. Beating your child will. But spanking, no. And I like how you used both "their" and "there" incorrectly in the same sentence. That was amusing.

all I'll say to the people that are saying spanking your kids is alright is think about when your child gets older and spankings don't work? when do you stop being physical? do you start using fists? I grew up in an abusive house hold and if you haven't been in the same situation then you don't know jack. you may be fine with getting the crap beat out of you but you really think your kids are going to be. think back to when you were a child. I highly doubt you didn't care when it was happening.

lol. why do I have the feeling your talking out of your ass? it's been proven that children who have been abused or harmed physically as children develop many problems later in life. think of all the problems people in the past have made and how recent generations are trying to correct these mistakes. i think you had a very sheltered life as a child.

true enough, but there's a difference between abuse and discipline. in this case, the mother wasn't being abusive. she was, however, being a dumbf*ck for hitting someone else's kid, and in that respect she deserves to be smacked herself. ah, but i digress. i ask this without sarcastic intention: if you don't mind my curiosity, what study was it that has proven your statement? in comparison, what was the typical result of children raised without the use of physical discipline? last i checked, my childhood friends and i all turned out fine. mind you, we were never abused, but we were raised where even our teachers would discipline us when (because we always did) would get unruly.

i agree with judas beej when ever you get hit you get angry same way if two adults were having a fight except a 4 year wouldn't dream to start a fight so they eventually end up resenting/ hating you this is when the pushing of boundaries start the guy who replied after him think about it before you swear and call names not all parents want to be resented by the child.

I feel sorry for the parents that have to resort to physical tactics to get their kids to listen to them. I'm 13, my parents never slapped me and I turned out just fine.

ydi for being a tight ass bitch. if you parent like that your kid will hate you and denounce you as a relation when he turns 18.
