I have no idea what you’re taking about. I wasn’t talking to or about you
That's apparent. Sit with it for a while it will come to you. You were going back and forth we with me on the topic were you not? In the meantime I'm going to put you in time out for a few months. Consider making jokes about others besides beaten children. Not really funny. No need to answer. I won't see it.

You’re a strange person
 
Deleted my original first sentence, because I am pretty sure I misread your meaning...sorry

I whupped those tails when I had to, and my kids all turned out great, and they all love me and say I am the reason they are who they are.
🧡 Kids are different. Some really demand it. Others you can just look disappointed, and that's enough. I had the two extremes. Most are somewhere between. Can't remember if it was Dobson, author of The Strong Willed Child, or someone else, but he was telling about going around to churches giving advice on how to raise kids properly. Worked great until he had the 4th one who none of his advice worked for.
 
My son was a little hellion when he was between 8-11. I spanked that arse many a day. I gave his school principal permission to spank and he did a fair job. But the boy tended to not want to stay seated and keep his mouth shut. His 3rd grade teacher was a bit of b%&$* but I warned my son one day after he got home from a paddling that next time, if there was a next time, the school called me at work about you misbehaving, I would leave work, come to the school and take care of him personally. Sure enough, I got a call. My son's eyes were as big as saucers when he saw me step into his classroom. I led him out behind the school and took care of business. Never got another call from any school thereafter. My son is now 29 and still talks about that whipping to this day. The boy ended up an honor student lol.
My parents were both police officers & did the same to my brother & I. The world needs more of this in a bad way. Kids now days just think they can do what they want with zero consequences. Cant wait for the day someone tells me I cant punish my child.

I never ever spanked my kids when I was angry, I usually waited till several hours later or the next day, and then I would set them down and explain to them why it was happening and that what was happening was their choice and not mine...I absolutely hated doing it.
The old "this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you" speech. :)
 
I don't know your dad and I don't mean this disparingly, but that's really nothing to be proud of. Funny that this child beating topic follows right on the heels of the alcoholism discussion.
Getting your legs striped with a switch for being disobedient or disrespectful is not the same thing as being beaten. And just so we're clear on my husband...he did not start drinking until the kids were out of the house so alcohol never had anything to do with the times our kids were whipped. My son would tell you today he deserved everyone he got, and they probably saved him from being in jail or dead because he is a very strong willed person.
 
Dysfunctional activity is dysfunctional...never helpful.
I am blessed that I was raised in a family with no issues with things like alcoholism or abuse issues, but my dad in particular was very much a disciplinarian from a Christian perspective and basis. It wasn’t until I saw and learned of situations of true disfunction. It was then I learned that not all solutions work the same when the foundation is broken and not everything is a one size fits all solution.

Yes, my husband always told my son ...this hurts me more than you. My son told him that he never understood that until he had his son.
