Spanking

[Kardan]

Surely if you're going to spank your child, you shouldn't do it because you're angry, you should do it because your child has done something really wrong.

i dont mean if im pissed off or angry just cus of life, but if they're being so naughty and just wont stop and keep on and on doing the same boldness over and over, i'd probably get so angry i'd spank them... not if i'm in a huff i'm not that stupid

in other words, if my child is being so extremely naughty and just continues after i've attempted to discipline them several times then yeah, i'd spank them (i really don't think many would be able to stay completely cool as a cucumber after their child continues to act up after disciplining them several time)

My dad used to hit us but mum threatened him with a divorce so he moved to putting a bar of soap in our mouths if we were bad. We also had the naughty step which was horrible

Notice the part of your post you didn't bold, 'i'd probably get so angry i'd spank them'

It was clear she ment spanking as a last result after other methods had failed. What parent wouldn't be angry if they continued to act up after multiple attempts of disciplining!! And bar of soap wtf Matt lmao

I know that's what it sounds like but I don't think she meant it like that lol

Still, don't think it's ever a good idea to hit your kid (or anyone, for that matter lol) when you're angry. Wait until you've calmed down a bit and see what you think then. Your judgement's always going to be off when you're angry.

You're taking me completely wrong, it's why I bolded further "but if they're being so naughty and just wont stop and keep on and on doing the same boldness over and over, i'd probably get so angry i'd spank them" you're going to be angry if your child won't take your other disciplines lol so i'd then revert to giving them a spank

init kirst, people acting like i'm just gonna randomly flip the handle over something that has nothing to do with my kids and not because other disciplines i've used are not working!!

Anger derived from ur kids disobedience is worse than if it comes from somewhere else. Don't get angry and hit ur kids just cos they're being brats yikes!

I was smacked as a kid. Did it stop my bad behaviour? No. I just got better at not getting caught. Growing up stopped my behaviour and I think part of the 'it didn't do me any harm' argument is more because they grew up and stopped naturally rather than the punishment itself and just attribute their now good behaviour to the smacking. I think smacking is just a lazy way of parenting. It's quick and easy but it doesn't necessarily stop the behaviour long-term. If you have a bit more patience to discipline (naughty step, time out, confiscating toys/items they treasure etc) then it'll be better long term.
