All I know is I never spanked a kid on the rear, and I hopefully never will.

However, the adult females I SMACK on the a** during intimate occasions BEG for me, Daddy, to do it again and again. Strange how the same act that is hurtful to children brings intense ecstasy to adults caught in the act of love.

This thread started with a probably grumpy old goat telling the kids to stay off his lawn. Now everyone else has jumped in with the every-thing-every-other-generation-is-doing-is-ruining-life-for-everybody-else theme.

If sunglasses being worn in the terminal really gets you spun up, then you are wasting your life energy.

And if you are spun up now and wondering why the missus always has a "headache", this is the reason why.

Total BS!

I submit that at an early age, kids only understand ass beatings.

I’m not saying you have to hurt them, but they simply do not understand what words like “please,” and “time out” and choices like “do this now and you will get rewarded later.”

Those are adult concepts applied to small kids who don’t understand them.

If they don’t see consequences as kids, they won’t see consequences as an adult. And ever since all this “don’t ever smack your kids” crap got started, we have seen one Hell of a lot higher % of awful adults

Bingo......

Discipline doesn't have to be violent. There are plenty of non-violent ways of instilling discipline in children. There are plenty of ways for children to "face consequences" that don't involve a belt or spanking.

You're right... A pop on the hand, a pinch on the arm, firm grab on the arm are all good alternatives.

Timeout works for my kids, but they need to know that there are repercussions if they lose the respect for time out.

Violence and fear are two of the strongest motivators in humans and primates.
Have been that way since the beginning of time.
Why change a good thing.
You can’t reason with a child,
You can’t with some adults either.
I’m which case

Me? I wear a prescription leather jacket.

This attitude that spanking a child is somehow destructive to them is perpetuated by individuals who don’t understand how to do it properly.

Spanking a child needs to happen when you’re in control. It’s not an immediate “heat of the moment” action and it should never be used as a threat. It’s a consequence. It’s also not the “go to” option for every offense.

You make sure you’re not doing it in anger. That may require a reasonable waiting period, 20-30 minutes. Let them know it’s coming. You make sure the child understands you love them and they’re receiving the punishment as a consequence for whatever behavior warrants it. Deliver the spanking, comfort them, reaffirm your love for them and move on.

Lol, I have a great relationship with my son. He is respectful, does well in school, and the other kids say he isn’t a bully.
I never spanked him once. The only physical thing I did was hold him down until he realized that wiggling and fighting weren’t going to get him out of it.
I always attempt to get on their level. I think hitting a kid is wrong and in the kids head it becomes about the hitting, and not the action that got them there.
My dad used to hit, and I don’t like him at all.

Maybe that rapist alaska pilot was hit as a child or the fa who brutally mudered that dog was spanked as child. Maybe the female alaska pilot was never spanked and as a snowflake she couldnt handle the situation that resulted from her getting drunk. Typical snowflake. The options to extend this thread are endless. Personally I think it is Deltas fault since they dont hire anyone over 45.

He’s already had his day in court and been convicted? On topic, if you wear sunglasses inside the terminal in or out of uniform you are a tool. All the people looking at you are thinking the same thing.
