Hey kids

[Canyarion]

Do you like kids?

Today I was in the train with some kids (6 an 3 I guess) next to me. They were soooo funny, but a bit hyperactive. Especially the 6 year old girl, she just wouldn't shut up! But I liked it.... the little brother kept spitting on his toy car and hitting with it on his head :rolleyes:. :p

I love kids, they're so funny and innocent! I definately want children of my own! :)

[Joeiss]

Kids are great... But they have bad days. I look forward to being a father one day.

I like kids, I still act like one. :D

Subtopic: Do you believe a bad kid should get a good spanking?

[Jewels]

I love kids, but has anyone ever seen some of the snottiest little brats ever? where there parents just spoil them and when the children bug them for candy or toys they unwillingly just give in because they cant take it anymore.. thats the only bad part about kids really, and to a certain point kids should be spanked but not hit.. they've been watching that more these days, and for a subtopic

what do you guys think of them child leashes?

[Seth]

Ignoring the whole child leashes thing cuz of the flashbacks it brings i'll give my opinion on the spanking.

I'm pro. If it's done properly then it's the best form of disclipine for a child. I remember being spanked and not doing the bad thing again because of the stinging sensation but also i could tell my parents were hurt by it too.

There's a huge difference between hitting and spanking.


?Is a belt acceptable?:D :(

[One Winged Angel]

I like them most of the time. But when they get into their teens they are little dicks. Then when they grow up and no longer kids they're really cool. So... up to a certain age :)

[fingersman]

Yup a bad kid should get a spanking.

[ominub]

i think all the little fuking kids should die DIE DIE


i wonder were angrist went to "looks around in suspicion"

[DarkMaster]

I have no patience, and I find that kids are usually very annoying. Will I ever be a father? maybe... but right now I have no interest in children.

[Shadow_Link]

Yup, watching mine crawl around brings a smile to my face. I just hope we can bring him up in a good way.

[Crono]

Sorry, can't stand them. Not only are they annoying most of the time, but they also cost a lot of money to raise. Seeing as I'll probably have a huge University Financial Aid debt, plus many other things like mortgage for a house, a car, etc, I'm not even sure if I'll even be bale to afford it, unless I have a job that pays 50 bucks an hour. And on top of all that, I'm impatient. I can't see myself sitting with a child for a few hours trying to teach them something or help them with homework, sorry, but that's just the way I am.

I have absolutely no plan in having kids.

[ZeroCool51]

Kid's are ok i guess.

[Perfect Stu]

I like kids. I definately want to have kids of my own one day.

As for spankings...I think there are more effective and less abusive ways of teaching kids a 'lesson'. I can see the less intelligent people thinking "you done bad...me hit you" is the right thing to do, but I don't agree...

[marionette]

I like kids, and I would like to be a mother one day. Me, being a triplet, knows how it is to be a "multiple" and it isn't THAT bad. Yes, brothers can be annoying, but life moves on. I think it would be cool to have twins, triplets would be too many at one time; I don't know how my mom did it.

As on the case of child leashes, I think that it is stupid. You should treat a kid like a dog. I just think child leashes are wrong.

As for spanking, I agree with the fact that you should spank if necessary and I mean necessary as in there has to be a really good reason. I've never been fond of spanking. But anyways, if you must spank, spank but not hit.

All in all, I like kids and hope to have some one day.

LOL! BlueFire got spanked! :rofl:

[Cyrax9]

I likwe kids and wouldn't mind hvaing them one day, AFTER I have the finances to raise them, and as for little hellions, just rember your the boss not them. And I know kids can be nastly little SOBs (I was a kid ocne as you presumably were) and I did some nasty things but overall I like kids, now some kids I want to see locked up for life but others MOST are really nice to me.

Besides kids managed toa ssit me in making $50 a day last summer so I ain't bitching, I was a camp counsler FYI and I needed, KIDS to get the ca$h as a counsler and they were well ebhaved now if you want to tlak about delinquwents,w ell not my kids, not unless they wanted to know what 2 hours in a conrer felt like.

[DimHalo]

I like kids. I will really enjoy being a parent when the time comes.

Leashes are flat out ridiculous. If you don't have the time to keep an eye on your child and make sure it doesn't going running wild (or at least is not destroying things)...then you have no business taking the child with you. Get a babysitter.

Spankings: Well, I used think it was wrong but never had a good argument for it. I had a warped view because I rarely did anything bad enough to get a spanking. ANd if I did anything wrong, it would be enough to know that my parents were mad at me for me not to do it again. But later on, with my younger siblings, I realized that some children Have to be punished by spanking. Each child has their own weakness. And for many, it is spanking. If you tap into that weakness then you can help them learn right and wrong. I just hope that when I am a parent I am successful in teaching right and wrong without having to resort to spanking. (Time Out is a favorite of mine)

Subtopic #2: Do you think kids should have the right to spank their parents?

[fingersman]

[

I think a good spanking can be effective once implemented immediately and once the parent lets the child know exactly what he/she has done wrong, then you can futher punish the child be taking away some of the child's privileges.


I know most people on this forum probadly think spanking is wrong or not effective and sometimes it isn't but then again sometimes other forms of disciples aren't too effective either.
It's something like what Jeepnut's slave said.

Oh and Stu because someone thinks that they should use different methods to disciple his/her child does not make them any less intelligent than me or you.

[Ookami Spirit]

Man....I got spanked a lot..It led to me hating my step mom.This is only right if and only if they have done something very very serious, in my opinion.It sucks, but it usually just makes the kid angry, not regretful.
