I plan on spanking my child regularly. It stops the bad Mojo that is inside our children from taking control of their brains and making them do disrespectful things like spill milk and make crumbs when they eat.

Who's with me!?

Or better yet, maybe I will take a long tube sock, stuff it with other socks, and then wield it at him while yelling, "homey don't play that!" Which do you think would be more effective?

you can do what you want to do...in living color!

Too funny. I like your thinking. We definitely are not against spanking. We'll have to see if we get tested. Maybe the kiddos willl be angels forever

I don't think we'll spank. I was never spanked and still always respected my parents and followed the rules.

Honestly that saddens me...spanking regularly? I firmly believe in using spanking as last resort. There are other options to try before spanking.

Long tube socks...very funny lol

I was spanked on occasion and it usually did the trick for me.... meaning, i always tried NOT to get spanked so i usually cut out whatever bad thing i was doing. Sometimes just the threat of spanking worked on my brother. I'm not opposed to it but i hope i don't have to resort to spanking too often.

Troll?

I will use spanking if nothing else works. I believe it totally depends on the kid...some are ok with no spankings...I on the other hand, got spanked on occasion. But if something else works for Rayanne, then I won't be spanking her.

I wasn't spanked as a child, and I won't spank my children either.

I have popped Tori on occasion, but only when nothing else is doing any good. So, to answer the question, I will spank if necessary.

Additionally, I do agree with whoever said that it often depends on the child. Tori was a great baby, but she has been a very stubborn little girl/toddler. So, I think that at times it has been necessary to pop her hands......popping her booty does not typically do any good, but popping her hand(s) usually gets her attention.

Oh and by the way, she is not a troll.......just changed her screen name, but I will let her explain further if she wishes.

I do not plan on spanking. That being said, I think there is a right way and a wrong way to spank. When a parent is angry and frustrated that is NOT the time to spank your child. I think if a parent takes a sec to cool down then maybe. My dad always looked so angry when he spanked me that it got me scared of him as a child. I can still picture what his face looked like and that to me looks like abuse. I feel there are better ways to discipline so that is why i am against it, although like i said if the parent is truly doing it to better the child and not to get their own frustration out then that is different. Honestly though parents that spank constantly just annoy me.

[MarinaAndCharlie'sMommy]

I am going to avoid spanking and like Krista said if by some chance I do it will not be out of anger. I worked in a psych hospital and that experience taught me a lot about how to discipline a child without resorting to spanking.

I figured it was a smartarse as well, but might as well answer haha.

I plan on spanking if the time out or taking things away doesn't work.
