So the bottom line is: If you are sometimes at a point where you feel you cant else but hurt your children - **** happens and no blame on you....but if that **** happens over and over again you obviously failed as father.
No one is suggesting that you should spank you child again and again and apply no other method to "parenting" - in fact, all we are saying is that a spank here and there is sometimes warranted and can be useful. Hey, if
you don't want to spank your kids fine, but at least learn to read and comprehend before you try and come back to my ideals. I have never stated anywhere in this thread that spanking will be my only recourse and the
only means by which to parent my kids. I said, dumbass, that I wouldn't be averse to using it as a parenting tool, when situations call for it. So before you try and comeback with another you-are-so-mean-only-spanking-your-kids-and-not-discussing argument, re-read the thread and think about it.

And again, I am not talking about hurting them. I got the odd slap here and there as a kid. I am not emotionally damaged. Perhaps you'd care to explain how "discussion" with a 3 year old that's throwing a tantrum in the middle of a store is appropriate. You honestly think a screaming 3 year old will respond with, "Oh, I'm sorry Mommy. I was inconsiderate to your feelings!" I am just saying that a slap on the *** to get a child's attention is faster that having a pow-wow with a child in a situation like that.

I wonder how you'd react if you have a grandchild one day and you see your son in law educating it with the belt....guess you wont like it ;-)
Can you read, idiot? I stated very clearly before that I
don't support the use of belts etc. in spanking your child. Furthermore, if the spank my son gave was "sans belt", warranted and effective I would have no problem with it. Get your head out of your ***...I am not talking about beating kids senseless. I am talking about a smack on the *** when they misbehave. Talk about blowing it out of proportion.
