How many of us know a really dumb guy, who is one negative comment about his sports team from going ballastic swinging? I am not like that, and I try to not be like that. We've all been in fights probably, but I'm not the guy who swings first. No one wants to be, except the dumbasses who've been to jail for assault or worse. I can be evil with my words, can make someone so angry they can no longer think and when dumb people get angry, they get phyical because mentally, they've been defeated. For me, hitting someone who's doing something you don't like, instead of using your brain is abuot the same. Use your head, ask how you can manipulate someone to doing what you want? Can't you do that with your children who you know better than themselves?
I know people will see, I've just got a 4 year old so what do i know about raising any older? well I have 2 brothers, now 13 & 15(yes just 12 and 14 years my junior). I raised them with my mom, they're dad left when the youngest wasn't even 1. I got a job at 14, know where my money went? diapers, milk, food, and propane for heating. anything else went to my mom. 6 of us lived in a 2 bedroom mobile home. I know about raising children well, because I haven't forgotten how I reacted to my parents.

Raising normal kids especially doesn't require hitting.

my sister in law works with a child who eats and throws her feces if anything disturbs her. She'd bite you if she cuold.
Interesting about the 1 in 150 number. That's the same figure they attribute to autism. However, you don't have 1 in 3 parents claiming their kid is autistic.

My ex bf, grew up with his father beating up his mom and if he tried to get in front of the mom, he'd get it too. He still today has a broken knee, fractured jaw and scar marks on his back.
Now that is not even talking about excessive punishment since wanting to protect yr mom is NOT a crime.
He grew up in a ghetto in brazil, with his gang, doing drugs etc etc
So how can we define such a person?

Well, well, what do you know the Super Nanny is back at it on another thread. Like I said in my other post. What's up Seattle Super Tard/Nanny? How many kids do you have? Your mentality not included.

C is it?
Your humor did not go unnoticed. Thank you for trying to cheer up the conversation.
I was not meaning to sound gloomy, but just trying to get the point across that the nice form of punishment (taking toys away, talking, etc...) does not always work. I wish that it did.
As I have stated before, I was beat as well... never had any broken bones from it, but I have had my back side every color imaginable. Spanking does not need to go that far - as a matter of fact, I hate my father. But in some cases, I deserved a quick swat on the butt or deserved to do 100 push ups... I deserved it, and I did it.
I am thankful for the way that I was brought up because I think it makes me a better person. Dave, I am sure even you can agree with me on that - you were spanked and chose to not do that. You grew up to be better and are trying to make your children even better than you. I commend you for that. But your form does not always work. My form does not always work. No single persons form always works with every child.
Someone already said it - we find out what works for our children and we do that...
let's all hope that violence is not needed.
And C (if that is your name), I am sure your bubble butt is lovely.
Tell your father I said thank you.

I don't get it. I HATE that man. From the moment he "shook" my hand in that hard way it bothered me to hell.
But he protected his father when I told him I don't wanna see his dad again. He replied that that's how guys r brought up in real ghettos. You are tough you get tough you stay tough. Or you die.
And yes it's C
Claudia I shall thank my dad from you lol
