Agreed. TBH, I don't think I could even out run her. By the time she caught me, I'd be to tired to fight back....not that it would do any good. I'd just have to lay there in the fetal position crying like a little girl who lost her puppy while I take my beating. Marrige is like drugs..............just say no.

LOL!!! J/K

Yes I remember the sacred belt. That was alays my dad's favorite....

I got "The Belt" one time, when I wouldn't stop jumping on the bed. I stopped after that.

I always get spanked cause i am bad at home lmao

I was spanked as a child and I can tell you now it probaby wasn't enough. I say spanked but I got the usual green switch or belt but as a child I was spanked.

My wife on the other hand wasn't. She didn't have near the life I did but thats another story and a long on at that, but the point being she wasn't disiplined.

I believe in spanking and put my beliefs to work. I havn't gone to the belt point and that will be a hard one to implement but I will now when that time will be and my son to WILL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS.

My son, I believe for a three year old listen quiet well.......to me. There are alot of times I don't spank him probably when I should but then again if I did I would be one busy man.I guess I pick my battles as they say and I try hard not to let my temper judge when to spank.

My wifes up bringing is starting to show in our mission impossible of the rearing of our soon to be four year old son . I told her long time ago she needed to call his bluff, but she has went the Time Out method or Go to your Room. Granted he doesn't like either but he misbehaves while he is in those situations. When I spank him on the other hand he stops what he was doing (because he is over my knee) but when we are done, he doesn't continue that same behavior but when he comes out of time out alot of times he does the same thing again.

Threre is no doubt in my mind spanking gives children a respect for people of age and authority. I can see it in my own home. My son respects me but unfortunantly he doesn't my wife. I've told her if she thinks its hard know wait until hes seven and eight so she better call his bluff now.

In my opinoin that is a large part of what is wrong with societies youth today. Their parents were either scared to spank or have tried to smack little johnnys hand and put him in the corner and it just hasn't worked.

I was slapped a few times when I was younger nothing much like slap slap just a pop sometimes even on the hand I guess....I usually got spanked or sent to my room.

Most of America's populace think it improper to spank children,
so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of "those moments."

One that I found effective is for me to just take the child
for a car ride and talk.!

They usually calm down and stop misbehaving
after our car ride together.

I've included a photo below of one of my sessions
with my son, in case you would like to use the technique.

Nice one CGM!! LOL!!!!

Next time they act up we look for a meter that has 3 digits...lol

Oh WOW! So so funny Austin! Thats a good one. geez, pardon me as I wipe away my tears of laughter.

THanks for the belly laughs. I'll be laughing all day.

First let me say I don't wish to offend anyone who has commented on this topic, which btw is a very good. However I do believe spanking, or any other form of physical punishment is nothing less than an assault. It is in fact an actual assault. If people believe that assaulting their children is a good form of punishment then that is their opinion, but it does not bode well for the future of our society.

I have no children, however I am uncle of 11 nieces and nephews and have a lot of time to observe how my sisters and brothers raise their children. Not one of them have been spanked or physically reprimanded in anyway. All 11 of these children are gifts from above in my book, and while they all have their moments as all children do, they are caring gentle and loving beings. This in part due to the efforts of the parents to show loving and kindness above brutality. I could not imagine a hand being layed on any of these kids in anger.

No lets get down to it, a smack is the parent venting their anger, nothing more, nothing less. Why a fully grown adult cannot use intelligence and reason over an infant or small child is beyond me. I am a police officer and I cannot go around assaulting people unless they are a physical threat to me, so why can a 170 pound adult beat on a 60 pound child for not doing as it is told is totally beyond me.

Violence begets violence. The child that is beaten today (will remember it, despite what people will tell you) will grow up to beat its children or other persons. I have 17yrs experience in seeing how violence in the home grows to be an ugly beast.

I have worked in domestic violence related areas for a long time now, I keep telling people that they cannot hit their wives, so why is it ok to hit their kids??

Now here is where some may be offended. Striking a child is the easy, lazy way out, assaulting a child is nothing more than poor parenting, no matter how you wish to try and justify it.
