Reply #107: i think all anyone is saying, you made that choice to raise [View All]

son like this. yet still even though person after person who was spanked in youth as a punishment,.........say they respect those parents who spanked, valued the lesson in boundary, a spank and it was over, we werent hurt by them...........you still dont accept that

this is where i have the issue.

i dont spank my kids. i chose to raise them as you do, and i have lots of respect for son and vice versa, like you. he is 9 too. a good good kid. i have high expectation and demand from him to behave because he choses to, not out of fear of a spanking, but because it is better for him and thinking of everyone else, better for them too

but maybe, maybe.........the spanking doesnt do all the horror things that so many on this thread are saying it creates.

what is wrong with saying, it is your style to not spank, and a parent using it as a tool in a responsible manner is doing it there way. where is it my place to critize. the child loves their parents. they are good kids. they are nutured and loved, simply not going to judge

and those that abuse, get them help, educate or take the kids

this really doesnt have to be so hard
