The irony is spanking doesn’t work and it never has. You likely did a lot of other things right and are just attributing it to spanking.

“The irony is spanking doesn’t work and it never has. You likely did a lot of other things right and are just attributing it to spanking.”

Naa, but you’re welcome to disregard 5000 years of recorded history. That is your right as an American. But my kid was NO DIFFERENT than myself, and I was NOT whacked...except by my grandmother. I wound up treating my parents like crap, but treated my grandmother great.

So have fun, but remember, all kids are NOT the same, so don’t try to apply idiotic new-age crap to kids that you don’t know...you simply have NO CLUE what you’re talking about, at least regarding the kids in my family.

But I do agree - there are some really strong, and effective, drugs for parents that can’t bring themselves to disciple their kids.
