Spanking

[Nickel]

My girls will eat spaghettios right out of the can, cold. I have to turn my face away it makes me gag. I think that's just disgusting. But they like it.:shrug:

Ew. I used to eat cold hot dogs when I was little.

Me too! Taste like bologna.

Just thinking about it now makes me gag. I can't eat bologna anymore, it grosses me out. I also used to take slices of American cheese and fold it over as many times as I could and eat it in one big chunk. That grosses me out too.

Belt, switch (you pick it out, and it better not be too small)spoons and hands. I do not and will not spank my son. I would be afraid of really hurting him and my temper is pretty quick. He is a good kid and responds well to time outs and the old 1,2,3. Occasionally I have to raise my voice at him and that usually gets the job done. I just hope it lasts.

I was reading another thread and was surprised how many people spank their kids. Were you spanked as a kid?

Yes. But I was also beaten as a kid. Dad had a piece of tabletop with formica on one side and a peg sticking out on the other side. If he thought I'd misbehaved, I got the formica. If he was really ticked off, I got the peg. He used to beat me as hard as he could.

That said, ordinary spanking (bare hand, flat, open palm, only on the butt) is sometimes needed. Sometimes that's the only way to get the kid's attention and assure them you're serious.

My dad used a belt(mostly) and if one of us got in trouble ALL of us got in trouble....when he had the belt on we would have to go in the woods behind the house and "get a switch"(reeds)....to this day I cringe with the sound of a belt buckle "jingling" and that "whish" sound that a reed makes when you whip it thru the air*coldchillupthespine*

I think I've spanked my kids a couple of times when they were little just to make sure they got the idea that what they did was very wrong(lying, playing with electricity, etc)

I have a wood spoon that I don't think I've EVER used on my kids, but, for some reason they all "straighten up and take note" when I get it out of the drawer(even my teenagers)

Wow, that's too bad Railroad. Glad to hear you broke the cycle.

Oh yea..well mine beat me with a piece of 1/2 inch re-bar everynight and on hollidays he was easy and used the fan belt off a Buick.

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

You got to sleep? Puss

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah

To sum up the spanking thread
~ Some people do not like to spank.
~ Pixie and others feel spanking with an open palm is a love tap used to knock sense into children.
~ Spaghettios and hot dogs may be eaten cold with varying results.
~ Some people have had scary sounding childhoods that they bravely shared with us.
~ Buddy Lee is looking for some children to spank (they can be ghost children if they agree to be recorded).
~ Pete and Sam are getting silly.

Ha! You haven't seen this child. He's smart and knows what to do. He's 18 months old and still in a high chair thus can not get up to put his plate in the sink. And when "he's" done is not when the rest of us are done. I refuse to let the babe run the routine. He will eat what he wants to (usually the carb, pasta, bread, etc) and throw the rest. This is two fold bad because we have a dog that is allergic to corn so if he throws a plate with corn on it she's bound to consume some before I can clean it up and thus gets the craps. I'm not trying to teach him what to do with his plate when he's done, again he's 18 months old; I'm enforcing that throwing dishes is bad.

He was (see was) throwing cups as well and not just at the table. You open the fridge, get the bottle of juice, milk, etc, he goes for the bottled water or beer or a can of soda. I take whatever he's grabbed while I was getting the juice and put it back, proceed to getting him a sippy cup of juice and hand it to him, he chucks it across the kitchen because it's not what he wanted. He's not even old enough to understand that he didn't really want the beer he grabbed he just wanted it because it's different I suppose. A few good slaps on the hand and majically the cup throwing has pretty much stopped.

I think you gave birth to my son's twin. He does the exact same thing. Trying to clean spaghetti and sloppy joes off berber carpet is a biotch!

You got graves? Mine just dumped our lifeless bodies out in a vacant lot and let the rats eat our corpses.

Any time I have witnessed spanking (Wal mart) I thought it was sad and pointless. I hope the kid gets a few in on the parents when they are big enough to fight back.

I think it's bad form to whip your kids in public. I was spanked as a child, but never in the middle of the store. Dad or mom would always take us out of the situation, or wait 'til we got home. The anticipation was the worst thing about it, and almost punishment enough. We'd sniffle and cry all the way home!

Even worse than that was getting in trouble, then being sent outside to "find a switch."

I had to do that too. And granma did to to my kids too. I just spanked with my palm
