No Spanking Laws

[Peter]

I plan to manipulate the shit out of my kids(provided I have kids).  Plan to train them to believe that they really want things I can give, and if they want to keep getting it, they better do what I say.

I know that sounds evil, but I don't plan to order my kids to do much.  Just enough to build good habits.  Study habits, working habits, eating habits, excersize habits, hygiene habits.  Besides making sure they learn to internally want to do those things, I plan to give them more or less free reign.

You know, authoritative.

You could get them hooked on nicotine gum, and then withhold it if they don't do what you want.

Or put them on heroin. Than they'll kiss your arse every time you begg'em.

I think kids are incredibly easy to understand.  But I think that wont stop me from being frustrated in a time sensative situation when I want one thing to happen, and right then they just wont have it.

So if you think kids are easy to understand how do you really know what's coming?

Get back to us about this when you have a kid, Nomaken.

Yeah, but nicotine gum's easier to get hold of, safer, and if the child abuse people come calling, you can say that you caught them smoking with their friends, and that you're helping them to quit.

Will do.

Saw a guest reading this thread.  I am disappointed it is not about the kind of 'spanking' i thought it was.

Interesting read, though.

I don't spank my children.
 I cannot understand why I want to motivate them through pain.
Creative solutions solve problems.  Each kid is motivated differently.

I just don't think that the government needs to legislate common sense.



My wife, on the other hand, receives several open handed whacks on the ass a day.  Se always spanks me after sex while I howl like a wolf.

king James version?


You still have to punish your children.  Motivating them by fear of pain is a last resort, IMHO.

a spanking when deserved, can serve as a deterrent.

constant beatings accomplish nothing, tho.

The problem is the PC idiots suggesting a smack on the bottom is child abuse.
I rarely smacked my boy or my girl. By the time they were about 5 they were old enough to be reasoned with and understand consequences beyond bad = sore bottom.
So where do the PC crowd draw the line? Yanking a kid out of harm's way? Withholding stuff from them and emotionally scarring them? Yelling at them and hurting feelings?
Its bullshit.
Beating a child with a kettle cord or belt is not smacking a child's bottom. One is not the other and ought not be treated as such.
People are morons

The Catholic version is: "Spoil the child with the rod"

From the childs POV  they will learn that you can hit people who are smaller than you!

I don't think so
