Thread: Beating your children

Yes, they do. But chances are good he'll become a beater himself. One must have a heart to heart after a beating to re-assure him it was wrong to do it, IMO.

was there any reason DD did he do wrong?

Never did me any harm, my Thai mum had a stick specifically for the purpose, my dad just used his hands.

I got some good beatings, nearly always deserved them and as Pat says doesn't seem to have done me any harm.

What did he do? How old is he?

parental corporal punishment is both valid and lifesaving

Left some nasty looking lumps on yer chest.

Nothing wrong with a smack, and I don't think kids are 'brutalised' by it or turn into monsters; more likely to develop into spoiled brats if they're not nudged into line occasionally.

But much like a dog, if the kid doesn't understand what set you off it's wasted, so once the blood is hosed off the good dad should make a show.

Cant say as I beat my kids. Plenty of wrestling style headlocks and slams, the eldest is only 6 though and loves it. My dad only hit me once, crashed my 18th birthday present into a bus stop, telegraph pole and junction box, might have deserved that one.

Looks like abused kids end up preferring big boobs, eh?

I have slapped the hooligan a few times but he just looks at me and laughs with a look of "is that the bet you've got" and i have to walk away so he can't see me laughing too!

Nothing wrong with it.

But do resist the urge to give them a kicking when you've knocked them down. It's not a bar fight.

With today's laws in the US, my dad would problem due some serious time for the beatings he gave me! Helped to make me the man I am today!
