[Tell It Right]

Half a century ago butt whuppin's ceased to be popular.

I'm not happy with the results.

[Morgana]

She will have a tyrant as a teen.

I saw this movie.

Hitting Mom Means Never Having To Say You’re Sorry.

[Tell It Right]

Proverbs 13:24 (King James Version): He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Same verse, but Tell It Right translation: If ya don't spank your kids when they hit others, they grow up feeling entitled and votin' Dim.

[Alberta's Child]

All I know is that if I had hit my mother at any age, she would have taken a potato peeler to half my body.

[cyclotic]

when my kids were young, I was a gentle parent too. We had a comfortable rubber handle on the device we used to discipline unruly children. It needed to be gentle on our hands and wrist.

And yes, all of our kids are productive, independent and employed.

[cuz1961]

my father was gentle
his belt was not

i thank God for both.

[reed13k]

I recall hearing “You aren’t sorry? Really? Then I’ll make you feel sorry, go get the belt.” or something along those lines growing up.....

[Restless]

My mom’s favorite method was a few whacks on my behind with a wooden spoon. It was never very hard, but it got the point across.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Ah, the gentle raising of a school shooter.

[rexthecat]

"Never apologize, never explain."

It's always worked for me.

[Mathews]

My dad never said “don’t” too.

He said, “Do that again and I’m gonna bust yer ass.”

[Vaduz]

No need to use the words of no or don’t a squirt gun with ice water is a fast trainer.

[gundog]

Well...kids need direction. I remember working with a mason on a foundation. He lived across the street, so he was babysitting his daughter on the job site. Every ten seconds he was saying “Don’t do that.” I gave the kid a pail and shovel, and sent her to the sandpile. No more problem. Giving then one thing they can do is better than them just doing a dozen things you don’t want them to do. .

My Mother would have taken a switch to my butt.

“I’m a ‘Gentle Parent’ — I Won’t Make my Kid Say Sorry Because it’s ‘Disingenuous”

I was a ‘gentle parent’...until my kids misbehaved and got WHACKED.

[Allegra]

Cool. Foisting assh0les onto society. Isn’t she hip?

[TalBlack]

“…a style that focuses on empathy, respect, and understanding.“

This kid is being raised by a weakling and her kid knows it. Not gonna end well.
