I cant stand spanking my kids.

Mainly because I had my ass beat so bad when I was younger.. I was hit with switches, belts, hands, I had things thrown at me..

I was even hit with a plastic hanger when I was 8 and a half months pregnant with jacob that it left a baseball sized bruise on my leg. (by my mother.)

when jacob gets out of hand, and does things like sticks pennies in his mouth, or grabs say, a lamp cord, he gets his hand tapped. Not enough to make it red, but enough to make a point. Rob taps his diaper butt on occasion, and i've asked him not to, but he was raised in the appropriate environment where spanking was used sporadically and only when necessary. So I trust him to not hit hard and ruthlessly. He understands hes only 1. I think its .Jacob getting his feelings hurt that hurts more.

Did anyone have one of those spanking experiences where you got one with each word?

I *spank* told *spank* you *spank* not *spank* to *spank* do *spank* that!

yes! My grandmother made us (me and my older sister) do that.....But it was necessary because we were playing with matches.

In response to the question.....I see nothing wrong with spanking as long as it doesn't get out of hand, and is not done in anger. I spank my son when he gets out of hand, he is not the type that will do a time out and he is does not still still long enough to have a conversation as to why he shouldn't be playing water fountain in his room (peeing in the air) or why he shouldn't be climbing to the top of the bookcase and jumping down. I however do not spank my son with my hand, I use his belt to tap him on his bum or his thigh. I would rather him associate the belt with his punishment rather than my hand, so when ever I have talked to him for the 5th time, I just go inside his room and get the belt and usually, he will say "ok ok mommy I will stop" the thing is, he isn't afraid of the belt and he is not afraid of me, but he realises when he sees the belt that he has gone too far.

Oh, he is 3 going on 4 in december and I started spanking when he was 2, I started by tapping on the hand....One tap.....Not hard at all, the action itself used to upset him because he knew he was being punished. Now it is on to the tapping on the bum with the belt, and still it is the thought of being punished that effects him.

i'm with you on that one. Lol

sandra I had to pick my own switch a few times

but my mom used to spank me with the blind closer and opener. She used to just go at it and where ever it landed it landed and i'd have nice little bruses too. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!! At this point looking at my little one I couldn't ever picture spanking her. Aaawww I don't want to think about her doing something bad enough to warrent a spanking. Ok well I am going to go feed her now and give her a big hug just for thinking about it.

She'd hit you with a .W.H.A.T?! Shocked that's horrible!

.I think .I'm going to try time-out with .Aly. I'm going to buy one of those kid-sized chairs ahead of time and have a "naughty chair" ready for her. That seems to work well on .Nanny 911, but we'll see.

I only agree with spanking as a last resort. I would try other methods first such as time out. I don't agree with parents who spank their kids out of anger. If you are going to spank your kid, you need to cool off and explain to them exactly why they are getting spanked. I feel like if you spank them when you are mad it shows them that it's ok for them to hit people when they're mad. That's just my 2 cents though... Wink

If my daughter were peeing in her room thinking it was a fun game, I would definitely put a stop to it! If it takes spanking to do it, then... Well... Her daddy would probably have to do it, but it would definitely end one way or another.

Thats the parents fault I think.I knew a girl like that and all the parents did was swear around her and she did it too.I don't agree with anything other than a swift smack on the butt with your hand

Okay why are people referring to what they do to their children as "tapping" them? If you need to sugar coat the words then there is probably something wrong with what is going on. If you can say "i hit my kids" without feeling that something there is terribly wrong then you are probably doing a thing that isn't wrong. But as soon as you have to make it sound less extreme then I doubt you are completely guilt free about what you are doing.


You can't "tap" with a belt. You hit your kids. Word it properly. I remember being really angry one time after getting a spanking and tuning around and hitting my mother in the face. And then some how she tried to explain to me why it was wrong to hit when we're mad. After just hitting me. It made no sense to me.


I will never hit my kids. And I will expect them to never hit another person. I would go as far as to stip their room of every single toy and making them stay in there for a whole day except for meals and bathroom trips if their behavior was bad enough, but I would never hit them.

I don't think you can "spank" with a belt. You spank with your hand. You hit with a belt.

I would never let my husband or anyone for that matter touch my child with a belt. They'd be touched back with it. Across their face.

you dont "tap" a child with a belt. You hit them ,and it doing it hurts, I remember from when I was little, and that scarred me for life.
Thats just child abuse.

I completely agree.

I whole-heartedly believe that hitting your child with anything more than your hand (once on their tushy) is abusive.
