LOL! BlueFire got spanked! :rofl:

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.

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)

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.

Kids should not have a reason to spank their parents... :unsure:

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.
