Is it wrong to spank your child?

[birdiesunshine]

Wow.....really rude and uncalled for.

Is this the pot calling the kettle black or what? I do know you, don't I? I could have sworn the above is your entire nature

I think you should read the guidelines for the DIS about rude, insulting and attacking posts.

I think some of the posters on this thread could use a spanking.

Lori, I thought we made a pact not to bother with each other anymore.

There's a lovely little feature on the DIS called the "Ignore List". You might want to take advantage of it.

Thank you. I will call out rude posts when I see them no matter who is the author. I find it pretty pathetic that some poster has to try and upset me by using my real name. Sorry, it isn't worth getting banned for and I will take the high road and not stoop to that level.

First of all, I thought everyone knew your name. You are just posting here because you dislike me and want to stir up trouble. For those that know us I'm sure they can attest. Lastly you have posted extremely unkind and insensitive things in the past, so besides trying to get me banned (for doing what, I don't know) then what truly is your point?

Wow, I don't know what your problem is but I am pretty sure most disers don't see me as rude or unkind. I hope you can work through your anger problems.

I have been posting on this thread long before you and can't believe you would think my posting on the dis has a thing to do with you.

Wow. Aren't you giving yourself a lot of credit? If I recall correctly, tm2 has posted on this thread before (when it was started several months ago). She, like you, is entitled to have (and express) an opinion.

Whatever your problem is with tm2, and it is obvious that you have one, I don't think it's appropriate to make us all a party to it.

Now, let's carry on with accusations of child abuse and all that good stuff.

TM2 and I go way back. She posted on my post to get a dig in at me.

This discussion came up with my siblings when we were all vacationing together this last week. My son is known as the "best behaved" child, but I am the only one who thinks spankings are sometimes warranted. DH and I will spank if we have sent DH to timeout, but, well, it doesn't work. He is a very stubborn child, there are rare occasions when he will be sent to timeout, refuse to stay there, we will sit there with him to make him stay, and then he will do something like bite us. That is when he gets the spanking, and he knows it. My siblings tell me I am wrong (we come from an abusive home), but at that point I believe he needs it. Opinions? (Flame suit on)

Every once in a good while,when, time outs, grounding, or other punishments do not work, then yes, turn that little behind red.....

TM2 and I go way back. She posted on mine post to get a dig in at me.

To that, again I say:

1. The "ignore list" is a wonderful tool.
2. The rest of us don't need or want to hear about your historical battle with tm2.

Also, if tm2 is trying to piss you off (which I doubt), you're certainly making her happy because she's obviously getting to you.

Whether or not she is a reincarnated banned member (as someone said) or not, all she has done is present her opinion. I don't see why a person with a low post count who voices an opinion is automatically labeled a troll.

Anyhoo...I got the occasional (deserved) spanking. Was I abused? No. I don't think you can find a person closer to her parents than I am. I only hope I'm as good a parent as they were to me.

I'd say I turned out pretty well. I respected my parents a great deal. Still do. I spank my kids on occasion. I also hug and kiss them a bazillion times a day. They know I love them, but they also know certain behavior won't be tolerated.

Spanking is a choice my DH and I made. I really don't care if anyone else likes it or not. And I couldn't care less if other people choose not to spank. But to label someone a child abuser because they spank their child is unwarranted.

Did you read ALL of her/his post? Its just posting mean, stir the pot up, troll talk.

Well the fights have broken out and I am sure the person that revived this thread is now happy!!

Yes I read her posts. Maybe you can give me some specific examples of this troll-like behavior, because all I see is a poster giving her opinion...same as others on this board. Not once has she resorted to name calling, word twisting, etc. I can't say the same for some of the people who disagree with her.

I never twisted her words. I used the exact words she did. I didn't call her names either.

So let's give you the benefit of the doubt. So she made a poor choice in using the word "regularly". She has clarified what she was trying to say, and others understood what she really meant, yet you keep trying to use the word "regularly" against her. I understood what she really meant even before she clarified her response. If you don't agree with her view, fine. But quit beating a dead horse.

I know you didn't and this is all taking a life of its own. It's hard to tell on line what a person is trying to say. Maybe its time to move on to another thread and be done with it. You know where to find me

This is why I love you so you are my voice of reason. See ya on the other side!! No, not that side, the OTHER side
