CHILD'S PADDLING UPSETS FAMILY

I think we all finally decided we were on the same page:')

[wardaddy]

wow...do you have a lot of children?

[wardaddy]

I always get riled when folks who normally either have no children or were graced with angels wish to admonish those of us who spank as vile brutalizers.

Lack of discipline and no fear of authority is what has made our public schools as sorry as they are....especially in urban areas.

Which is why I pay more than house notes for private school..aggravating

[wardaddy]

Lovely eh?

they see money....have they called Bart Durham or Luvell Glanton yet?

[WildTurkey]

Dr. Corbi Milligan should see his/her practice boycotted immediately.

Why? Did they lie or did they just report the facts. Please be specific. If the kid was hit on the tail-bone, that is NOT a spanking, that is abuse.

[WildTurkey]

Actually there were two girls in my high school who to this very day, I have never seen a prettier girl. My best friend dated one of them. The other had a crush on my Brother who was a star athlete and handsome as a movie star.

I just went to my 40th HS reunion. You are right. The girls were prettier when we were in high school.

[CindyDawg]

I have my 3 grandchildren in a Christian private school. We could be driving new cars but...:') There was a sign up, when it was time to go register them again. "It's not an expense but an investment " Clever, huh?

[geopyg]

"No. The appropriate form of punishment would have been WAY more!"

Agreed. The kid had his FOOT in the aisle for God's sake. Kids these days just take it too far. I can't imagine what would have happened to me if I had MY foot in the aisle when I was a kid. A sore butt from Dad's belt every evening for a week, no dinner for a week, and grounded for a month - not even let out of my cage for potty breaks.

You had busses? We had to walk 20 miles in the snow - uphill, both ways.

[WildTurkey]

Do you hit the kids on the tail-bone with a wooden paddle?

[WildTurkey]

People need to get over themselves and get back to reality. Breaking bones is too much.

Have you ever hit your tail-bone? That is not a spanking.

[Cvengr]

Agreed. It has also been my experience that those who complain the most about the least amount of appropriate discipline are also the most likely to fly off the handle in a rage and use violence in the name of discipline out of vindictiveness when they feel affronted by a youngster.

Meanwhile, those who use the paddle responsibly are mre than conscientious about when its use is most appropriate. Discipline by same sex teachers and beyond a certain age made more public at a higher degree of authority.

[WildTurkey]

We only had one senior girl get married before graduation,

They didn't get married. The silently visited that "Aunt" up north.

[Tax-chick]

I was confused by the location, at first, because we have a Unionville just up the road from us! Took some effort to find the state on the source link.

[tioga]

There is a difference between hitting and spanking. When you are old and feeble and have to depend on one of these little darlins you better hope you get one that was disciplined as a child.

If you beat your child, be careful, when you are old and feeble could be payback time.

[CindyDawg]

I guess that is only a fair come back. I agree.

[steveo]

Those damn Shelbyville kids deserve a whoopin!

[steveo]

And by whoopin' I mean a paddlin!

[wardaddy]

not intentionally


when did you stop beating your wife?

(same sort of foolish question)
