Spanking Your Children

[spathiphyllum]

For, against, or it's no one elses business what you do behind closed doors?

I don't see the issue with striking the bottom of your own infant. There is a difference between spanking a child, and then child abuse.

[spathiphyllum]

I respect my parents more than anyone in the world and i remember them hitting me on the bottom, and i respect them for that decisions it must of been hard for them.

[spathiphyllum]

in the moment i probably hated them, but hindsight is very powerful they did so much for me and at time i was a spoilt little brat. I wasn't even an only child.

//which is why children were much well behaved and presented back in the day at school where if they stepped out of line a cane they would get. //

Almost every day the same children would be in a row waiting for the said cane outside the office.

How old are you Spath, (to get some sense of perspective on what you're saying)?

[spathiphyllum]

well then that goes to show it wasn't that traumatic ;)

I wasn't around during caning days but a lot of my teachers at my school said "it's lucky you're at school now and not 10 year ago"

Did you turn out to be a total nightmare from not being caned? :-)

[spathiphyllum]

evidently? Just look at page 14..

[pixie374]

Oh yes :-)

[spathiphyllum]

;oP


Calico regarding age i'd rather not be specific. Most people get the general age of myself but age isn't everything you know i mean when it comes to history it kind of is but not when it comes to ideology

Boo "In all seriousness, yes, probably ,a short sharp pain that served as a reminder not to do it again."

So its ok to use pain as an educational tool?

24

Hmmm okay, whatever floats your boat. I just think if you know someone's actual age (mine is 21) that you get more of a sense of where they are coming from generationally and socially.
Someone 80 saying something has a likely different social experience to someone 60, to someone 40, to someone 20 for example.
It's not important I just wondered if it might help explain some things.

[woofgang]

important point calico....

[spathiphyllum]

when debating a topic for point for point, i can't see how age is relevant. Just like, debating food with a chef doens't mean the chef is instantly right

[Calicogirl]

I think people's personal experiences are always important hence the qestion, if you don't want to say fine, but I still think it might help us understand where you're coming from if we knew how old you are.

[sherrardk]

Of course age is important, is goes some way towards explaining why someone comes across twonk.

[sherrardk]

^ as a twonk

[woofgang]

and sherrardk for best answer

Not saying, spath? X

[jackthehat]

Surely the 'clickbait' target must have been met some while ago on this thread?

It must be time by now to reverse away from the original stance and opinions and compose another heap of ordure?
