Why don’t you just get to your point instead.
He’s was making a joke, as was I. Lurk moar.
it’s funny how you can change the feeling of a quote by adding an extra word in it.
btw shouldn’t it be only parents replying to this thread? 
I don’t think beating them is effective, really it just hardens them up and makes them try to avoid beatings. That’s not a good person. There are kids who are like "whatever, I can take a hit, I’m a tough mother fucker"
However, parents are pretty crippled when it comes to effective punishments, its called cruel and unusual. Tell me you would consider doing anything bad when you KNOW that your dad is going to come home, lay you down across his knees, pull down your pants and firmly stimulate your prostate with his calloused fingers? You aren’t going to act hard and be like “yeah, my dad put a finger in my butt and gently stroked my head, but I don’t give a fuck” you are going to sit quietly with your knees crossed and remember what you did wrong. And THAT will keep you out of trouble.
I will beat your ass if I see you hitting your kids with a fist or hitting them in the face.
Just don’t have kids.
This is what I get from this (and others like it) thread:
>beat your kids, they grow up to be assholes
>don’t beat your kids, they grow up to be assholes
WHAT DO
Beat them one day and don’t beat them the next. Hopefully, they’ll grow up to be double assholes. Then you’ll have kids you can be proud of!
My logic is flawless.
But we need people to have kids to continue the cycle of hookers/strippers/porn starts/pimps/club owners/escorts and the like.
YOU DARE TO DENY THESE MEN THEIR BIRTHRIGHT?!
But if you don’t have kids you end up with MORE MONEY for that right? Maybe we just need to have certain people have kids then? And only in vegas?
This may go against conventional wisdom that parents are gods and children must fear them or face damnation, but it is more beneficial for childrens’ intelligence to have a reasoned argument with them than it is to hit them when they do shit you don’t like.
I don’t know about parents, but I had to babysit a bunch of times for some rude ass kids with super lenient parents, and I would knock them around quite a bit when they were rude or did dumb shit. Result is they stopped being rude and doing dumb shit. They also never told their parents cause they loved me. Not every babysitter lets you drink, get high and watch super violent anime.
Still, their parents thanked me since their kids were behaving less rowdily(not sure if it’s the knocking around part or the fact that they were getting high, but I did make a change in their lives)
idk what to say, it’s all about the balance. Beating everyday takes out the fear.
Simple slaps, hair grabs work well, & no not hitting on every occasion it’s just when they do/about to do them stupid stuff. I got legit scared when I messed up, even simple thing like breaking a glass because I knew my parents would be angry because **I did something wrong **. Knowing that is really important.
I love my mother but used to get shit scared when she gave me the eye. It helped me to reduce the frequency of mistakes. Things like not blabbing like a retard in front of guests, basic manners & respect are taught these ways.
How do you expect a child to understand all these complex thing if he isn’t forced to & taught well?
Also comforting after beating is essential, it won’t let the child get in that FU mode.
It’s the fear of beating that’s more important than the eating itself .
Ugh
Hitting your kids for no good reason or actually beating them doesn’t help at all and isn’t cool.
Punishing your kid physically when they’re young to get a message and lesson across to them is different because it actually works.
Yea watching my mother argue in circles with my little brother every night about his responsibilities and then for him to not do them anyway was super beneficial.
I’m not saying logic and reasoning is a bad thing but neither is laying down law when it needs to be done. But Parenting isn’t black and white either, what works for some doesn’t work on others, so on and so fourth (Not saying you think it is black and white). When your kid flat out does shit they know they shouldn’t imo they need a swat. You can’t reason with them doing stuff they KNOW they aren’t supposed to. When my brother would ask ym dad for something and he said no then he’d go off and ask my mom knowing she would say yes, he deserved a swat. When it’s something they don’t understand yea explaining it to them an shit is a good idea, but kids are also smart and sometimes need a reminder. I’m not saying beat you child but a quick swat on the ass isn’t going to damage them for life, and reminds them what’s up.
“Lurk Moar”? Riiiight… dude all you had to say that it was joke. did I call you out or a name, so it sounds like I could do the same “Lurk Moar”. Nah rather call you a Bitch.
Never become a parent; you seem to have the overall goals of child and parent reversed. It is the parent who teaches the child to eventually become superior, so as to lead a stronger generation into the future. You are the one who ought to be admitting defeat before letting them off into the world on their own. By the time they’re adults, they ought to be able to be more successful than you, and it’s your job to give them the tools to become such.
Ah yes. The inevitable ‘you don’t have kids, so your opinion doesn’t matter’ nonsense. I was wondering when it would show up.
There are plenty of marriage counselors out there who have never been married. Should we discredit a therapist or psychologist because they don’t suffer from a mental disorder or because they’ve never experienced severe emotional or mental distress? Shit, there are NFL head coaches who played their entire careers on defense and never played a down on offense (and vice versa).
I don’t need to have children to look at a situation and asses what’s going on. All I need is a brain.
Ought to have been able to, but couldn’t. Sometimes it is better to admit weakness and seek help than continue down a wrong path.
Word.
Mind explaining this one, because I’d like to hope I’m not getting the wrong implications from this.
Beating your children = abuse. Period.
Word.
You misunderstood me; I am actually very much in support of what you’re describing as far as contributions to the problem. That said, I wasn’t implying that basic logic is enough, but the necessity that corporal punishment alone will not a good child make, especially past toddlerhood. The older they get, the less receptive they are likely to be to those kinds of punishments, because they are either adapting to it or maturing to the point of being able to question it. This is where explanations ought to take place, even if corporal punishment continues a little longer.
If you’re attacking your teenagers though, you’re either doing it wrong or fucked shit up past a point of return without serious aid.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Physically assaulting your own children really shows how tough you are.
