In my five years of being a parent, I have taken three, THREE family studies classes. In every class we, at some point, discussed the various ways of punishment for a child. In EVERY case, we were given alternatives to spanking, and spanking was considered ABUSE.
Well, let me tell you something. My grandma got a ruler over her ass. My mom got whipped with a belt. I got spanked.
In every case, the spankings worked. We turned out to be very good people. In every case where I saw a person who hadn't gotten spanked, they were stupid, immature little shits.
I don't want my daughter growing up to be a stupid, immature little shit. She's already aggressive and thinks she rules my household. I've tried alternatives, they don't work. I'm a firm believer that spankings will get the job done right.
Don't get me wrong, as a parent, it sucks to have to give your child a spanking, and of course it's not something you do on a daily basis. When I need to, I am going to. When all my options have been used up.
Today, unfortunately I had no other options.
Spankings are like a nuclear bomb. Very effective for stopping dissention, although the threat of one is often enough.
