I was spanked and grew up just fine. I chose not to have children because with discipline being illegal anymore parents have lost the right to raise their kids as they see fit. You want to hug your kid and buy him an ice cream cone after he mouths off to you and slashes your tires or burns the house down? More power to ya; mine would get the beating of his/her life.
Over the top nonsense, all of it.
Slash tires and/or burn the house down and reward with an ice cream cone?
I thought trolling was not allowed on this forum.
Sadly, spanking is still legal in every state so wrong on that as well.
Not to mention all the rambling about soft parenting is't true.. the majority of parents still spank in the US
Hate to burst your bubble, but NO THEY DO NOT. With all of the child-protection laws in the U.S. these days, many parents are frankly scared to lay a finger on them.
You heard about the father who called a Sheriff to supervise him spanking his daughter, right? So she couldn't run back to school the next day and tell the teach "daddy beat me last night.. help!" -- and have the teacher call Child Protection to get her removed from her parents. All for a spanking. This father did it right; to protect his own behind, he called the police station to get someone to come watch and be a witness while he spanked his own daughter just so she couldn't get taken from him over it.
THAT is real. Kids are removed everyday over something as petty as exaggerated stories about spankings. I got a few growing up, but I refuse to spank any kids. All it takes is for them to run to school and stretch the story a teeny-tiny-bit and you'll get thrown under an official investigation by CPS.
No thanks. It's not worth the stress, hassle or potential heart-break.
If you're wise and love your kids, you'll keep your hands to yourself. Spanking is too risky these days. It comes with a VERY serious possible consequence.

My sister threatened to call the cops on our Dad with the whole child abuse claims. He handed her the phone and said "Go ahead, but Im going to make damn sure that I actually abuse you before they get here". She smartly did a 180 and went to her room.

If you have any links/stories I would be thrilled to read about it.
Good on you for not ever beating up a defenseless child.
