If you have to hit your kid to make him mind, you’re a bad parent.

You're wrong, not all kids are the same. Some kids are just more intelligent and test thier boundaries more often and ask why instead of just obeying. Those kids need to have a spanking from time to time, it's not bad parenting, it's what they respond to.

I'm not a bad parent, my kid is just vastly more intelligent than yours. :>)

My daughter wassn’t an angel by any means, but usually a harsh word would straighten her out. My boys...they needed a little more of an attention grabber. LOL
