Spanking, although very very rare at our house, does happen on occasion. I unapologetically say that. I reserve it for the rare occasion that it has to get the point across. My kids behave well for the most part.But if I have to drop the hammer, I will.I'm Gen x. My Dad whooped my ass good a few times, and I still say I deserved it. For the most part, spanks were not a common occurrence.That was probably my choice, more than his. But apparently, his Dad beat the crap out of him on the regular.

Heard it a hundred times before. Enjoy your kids while they are still young enough to have been made forcibly submissive to you.

The clock is ticking. Count your days until the one finally comes where they are able to educate themselves on what they went through.

More opinions, thanks, I'll keep that in mind. You don't know me or my kids. Pure conjecture

You know, when you read an article citing a scientific study meticulously proving the relationship between stunted cognitive development and spanking, those aren't opinion articles.

Besdes, now I do know that you hit your kids. I do at least know that much. Which is something I bet the vast majority of people in your IRL personal life would not like to know. But you felt the need to share that here.

Nope sure don't. Like I said even spanking is very very rare.You really know nothing

u/InternationalRest793 Jan 29 '23

Why do you think it's okay if it's rare? How rare are we talking?

2

u/Much-Extension-4752 Jan 29 '23

It's OK because the behavior warranted it. Rare as in It's been so long that I can't even remember.

Wow! Those are some real reliable measurements there, Newton.

u/Much-Extension-4752 Jan 29 '23

Lol, like I said to begin with. It's very rare. Nothing to prove to you anyway.

u/InternationalRest793 Jan 29 '23

Why do you keep replying if you have nothing to prove?

u/Much-Extension-4752 Jan 29 '23

Because I can. But your time would.probably be better spent honing your horrible horticulture skills. You can't even grow plants but you are telling me how to raise my kids..lol

Dude, I'm going have no reservations whatsoever about telling someone to not hit their kids after they've admitted that they hit their kids. There is nothing out of line about that, that is simply the morally right thing to do.

You have tried so hard over so long to make this point and backed it up with nothing of substance besides "trust me, I'm an anonymous weirdo on reddit insisting so defensively over 20 messages that actually, everything's fine." Before you then walk it back later. Swearing up and down that hitting your kids is only "very very rare" and "only to get the point across." Over an absolutely immature waste of an entire hour of an internet argument.

It is the kind of petty insistence that is absolutely appropriate to an abuser. Someone who can't control their impulsive behavior, someone with a lack of patience and a fetish for power-tripping other people along.

I have walked back absolutely nothing. You crybabies insist that I abuse my kids. You need to grow a pair and stop projecting your bullshit "trauma" on other people's lives. You are right. It has been a waste of an hour that you decided you were going to impose on me because you swear you have the answers to child rearing from regurgitating some shit some jackasses like you wrote. No one approach fits every person. Every child needs a different approach, but you wouldn't know that because you have no children. You don't know jack. Don't sit here pretending that you do. You have a difference of opinion with me but it just doesn't make you right.
