The public is way too nosy and judgemental about it; they should mind their own beeswax and not stare if they happen to witness some public parenting.

I don't know that I've ever seen anyone really spank in public. Maybe once there was a toddler who got a whoop on the big puffy diaper for doing
something dangerous. A real spanking is by hand or wooden paddle on bare ass isn't it? Anything less is just a swat on the butt.

We don't let anyone spank our kids.. .Only us (the parents) And we do not spank in public (or swat the hiney) because of "abuse stories" they
simply get a pinch under their arm & no one can see it... then they get a whoopin when we get out to the car... but under NO circumstances is anyone else
relative or not to spank our kids.

I think it really depends on the kid. Of my three, each of them responded very differently to different kinds of discipline. What would work on one,
wouldn't faze the other. Parenting isn't for lazy people. You need to be "awake", not be self-absorbed and in your own little world and you
have to pay attention. I think some moms get glazed over cause they try to be super-mom and do too much. They don't take care of themselves and then get
burned out and turn into tempermental hags. They wind up resenting the kids when really it's just their own fault for not setting some limits for their
kids and for themselves.

The best way to handle someone beating on a kid in public is to
I also agree with Shiza... emotional abuse is far more damaging to kids. I dealt with it as a kid and am still dealing with the ramifications of it as an adult. It breaks my heart to hear some of the shit parents say to their children. That shit will stay in your head for the rest of your life.

of child rearing. My Dad and my Uncle were always doing something bad. My Uncle climbed up in a tree and tried to swing from a branch like Tarzan and fell and
broke his arm, my Dad climbed up on the roof and had a towel rapped around his neck and tried to fly off the roof like Superman and broke his leg. My grandma
took them to the hospital first and spanked them when they got home.

(some of you would remember he almost died) and when he was recovered enough to walk around, we went down to the cafeteria together. As we approached the elevator, I gave him a nice smack on the rump and he gave me one in return. Two nurses were walking behind us and I had no clue! They
were a ways back. When we got into the elevator they started giggling and talking about how cute it was to see us walking, talking and then me give him the
little smack and him in his hospital gown and sweat pants give me one back. It made me feel really good.. knowing we had made others smile because we love each
other.

The zoo seems to be a major source of frustration for spankers.

I would prefer for people to spank their children in public as opposed to asking me to yell at their kids.
Kids are always acting like little outta control shits at the pet shop where I work and I've had plenty of parents ask me to yell at their kids for misbehaving. I just kind of shake my head in disbelief and never actually yell at their kids because THEY'RE NOT MY GODDAMN KIDS! These are the kind of people that go "Oooooh, the man that works here is gonna yell at you" as if that is supposed to scare them. Grow some fucking balls, parents! Don't push your kids on me because I don't want them. In fact, I hate them! Just leave the fucking store! I also hate the parents who can't say no to their kids and expect me to do that for them, too. Like if their kids come up to me and ask to see a puppy and the parents are behind the kids' backs shaking their head and giving me hand signals and stuff, I just say "It's up to mom and dad" because it really is their decision, AND THEN they cave in like big wimps! God, I hate kids. I hate them so much. |

While living in the "enlightened" SF Bay Area I can't tell you how many times I saw screaming crying toddlers who were pitching a fit 'cuase they wanted something and they wanted it now and mommy or daddy wouldn't give it to them and the fuckwit parents would be kneeling down trying to reason with them. "Sweetums, behaving this way is not the wisest choice. It is not fair to all these other people around us. Your yelling and screaming does not make them happy. Is it nice to make other people unhappy?"
Just wanted to beat some sense into them with a hardbound copy of Warn and Peace. And THEY have the audacity to lecture ANYONE about parenting technique? Let alone someone who is in touch with reality enough to know that the ocassional swat on the ass is the most effective and efficent way to teach a growing child proper behavior and obedience? It's a crazy world. |
