I agree. I was smacked when I f**ked up as a kid, and I intend to do the same to my own kids. Why? It works, you stop being a little s**t instantly and restrain yourself in the future.I'd love to smack some people's kids myself, but alas..
I have so much trouble with this. I try very hard not to hit my boy. We try to do the time out thing and it works a good deal of the time. But it is amazing what a swat on the butt will get in the way of compliance from an almost 3 year old.Mention time out and its "NO, No time out!"Mention spanking and its "Yes daddy."In spite of all of this I will continue trying to do as much time out and as little spanking as possible. I've seen it work for others so it can work for me. Besides, I HATE to spank my boy.I myself was beat senseless as a kid and it worked. Long black weaved leather belt. I can tell you with all certainty that I still love and respect my father a great deal anyway though.
