Is hitting your kids ok?

My parents used to make me do a lot of slave labor chores around the house and outside of it on top of my usual chores for acting up. If I did something really extreme or puffed my chest out to my parents I got whooped. I guess you have to treat every event differently.

Who’s more retarded?

Kids who didn’t get spanked?

Or kids whose parents constantly swore around them, taught them that boys are unfeeling and aggressive, taught them that the most important thing girls should do is look good for boys, fought around them, fed them a horrible diet, never read to them, had the TV on 24/7, encouraged them to fight out their conflicts, had no fucking idea where their kids were most of the time or what they were doing or who they were with, didn’t know or care what was happening at school, and then struck their kids when their kids actually started reflecting every lesson they’d been soaking up for their entire fucking lives?

Probably the kids who didn’t get spanked. Amirite? Bunch of pussies. USA! USA! Number one!

I don’t know how you do it, but you seem to make every one of your posts worse than before.

I was whooped on the ass with a belt and had my hair pulled as a kid.

I didn’t grow up right.

Jus’ sayin’

I’ll look into this then.

The bold pretty much describes my childhood. I would say I turned out pretty retarded.

Regardless of what people want to say in this thread, multiple studies show that it is overall detrimental to the child’s development and characteristics such as intellectual ability (huge deal) and problem solving skills.

Don’t do it; as a boss, would you hit your workers? (Obvious answer: no) Then why hit someone closer to you?

You shouldn’t since the possibility of hitting your workers can get you arrested, fired and sued. This thread is “Is hitting your KIDS ok” NOT is hitting everyone ok?
Not to mention if hitting your kids means on them not growing up as ignorant assholes later on in life will help, The I WILL DO IT. I will NOT have my little girl grow up as a ignorant slut strolling the streets

Except that’s actually more likely to happen if you hit her. Plus, she might develop weird kinks based of your treatment of her.

There’s a point of being a father that I wanna protect my little girl. Hopefully with me treating her in the future, won’t drive her into making that wrong decision.

So many people at work I wanna slap the shit out of. You have no idea.

Derp.

  1. You can also get arrested for beating/hitting your kid.
  2. It’s not okay to hit anyone period. Therefore it is not okay to hit your kids. Simple.
  3. Hitting your kids is more likely to make them grow up that way according to multiple studies (if you read my post) supported by irrefutable, replicable, demonstrable data.

Your child can become the next piece of evidence supporting this claim, but I’d rather not let it happen. I would rather convince you not to make another person’s life worse.

Well, minus those people.

Why don’t you try talking to her? Isn’t that how adults settle disputes?

Yeah… my ex was totally turned on by getting slapped in the face… orphan child with abusive foster parents…

but since I was also struck as a child, I embraced the violence and found extreme pleasure in high-fiving her map at every opportunity… :rolleyes:

Anyway, she’s a single mother doesn’t spank her son (7). He’s a monster who doesn’t listen to her, even though she constantly shows him love and affection. She’d make him go to his room or take away his Nintendo DS, but he’d still do the same shit and make more trouble… idk…

I spank my twin sons. They respect me and now that they’re older (4), I hardly have to spank them anymore. I heard one of them the other night tell his brother not to eat in his bed or he’ll get spanked. I go into their room, and they’re both sitting on the floor and eating their snack. Good boys… good boys…

A lot of dudes in here will probably end up on Maury with their kid cursing them out and pimp slapping them like the little bitches they are. Talking about “Maury help me, I don’t know wheres I done went wrong?!”

Hell this should just be a Maury thread.

Really late to the thread, but it depends on where you draw the line. Spankings here and there are fine, but I don’t believe in outright beatings and such.

what type of circle-jerk is this?
Let’s teach our kids to do something (violence begets more violence) just so they can learn to not do it when they’re older. Children are just evil, heartless gingers who need to be hit because they just won’t listen.

I’m wondering why these parents raise their kids in such a polarized fashion. A child is a product of his/her environment so for a child to even have concepts of disorder as a normal way to act is because of YOUR parenting. He/she is not just like that, it is because of you that the child would behave in a way to danger another human being. Of course what i get from these parents is that hitting is acceptable for any action which goes against social norms or causes you the parent to put forth a little effort in raising your child.

‘My kid just messed up the living room one too many times so i’m gonna spank his ass’

I’ve been a lurker for a while, but only recently have i lurked GD. I’m starting to regret it.

Lurk more…

Old days yes

Today no

I got my ass whooped… simple an plain. Back in the day not only did i have the fear of GOD put into my by my mom/nana/family I also had this thing I had to worry about:

the village that helped raised me

I don’t know others coming up but I grew up in the hood… not projects… hood. So the notion of ‘dont embarrass me’ was set EARLY. I got ass whoopins when I acted out of line from school to outing up outside. I also got ass whoopins from my friends moms n neighborhood parents when they would see you acting out of line. I had the fear struck in me to not act up that i embarrassed my family nor family name. Sure I did my share of dirt but please believe i know what i could an couldnt and if i got caught no need to cry just accept it as is. BUT that was as of young age from 2 till bout 14 basically for boys the age before you actually gain strength an the ability to ‘grab the belt’ with force from mom…

but you dont see that TODAY. You see kids acting up and then you see parents in FEAR… not the parents setting a tone. You dont have that neighborhood watch no more either. I just see people who are even scared to let the parent know HEY GET YA KID. You got kids just feeling like dont touch me or else im calling whatever the local child protective folks are. let those words came outta my mouth back in the day my mom wouldve been like yeah call em an then call the ambulance as well…

i say its fine… a good butt whoopin… but its ‘frowned’ upon now… even though those same people that frown upon it are the ones SILENTLY sayin jeez get ya kid when they see them acting out in the store or acting out in public like a complete fool.

I don’t think i’m cut out for the GD section.
