Do you beat your kids???

[steppinthrax]

Came up in conversation with co-workers.

1. If yes/no, were you spanked as a child yourself?
2. If yes/no, do you live in a state that allows corporal punishment in schools? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_corporal_punishment)
3. If yes, is it used in rare circumstances?

I prefer to beat other people's kids.

I never had to. My daughter was always pretty good. On the few occasions she acted up when young, I made her go away from other people, and stand facing a wall til she got herself together. That way her crying wouldn't irritate others, and she wouldn't get attention for crying, and therefore prolong the crying.

Beat me to it.

 

[Rakehellion]

I beat my wife.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I spanked my son once many years ago. It isn't really a very effective form of punishment quite honestly. I can't say that I'd ever resort to that again.

 

[brianmanahan]

I beat my wife.

do you still beat your wife?

I don't have children so this is really the only option for me. I only baby sit when I'm already pissed.

 

[brianmanahan]

i dont have kids, but if i did, i would spank them

i got spanked a few times as a lad and it straightened me right out

 

[SMOGZINN]

No, why would I beat my children? I pay someone to do that for me.

 

[Rakehellion]

it straightened me right out

They beat the gay out if you? I thought that was a myth.

 

[etrigan420]

I answered "yes, rarely" because usually the just the threat of violence is enough to get the ball rolling...

The kids call my belt The Universal Translator, as it allows me to translate what I've said, into a language that they can easily understand. ()

No, why would I beat my children? I pay someone to do that for me.

How much you paying? :sneaky:

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Nah, I mostly beat other peoples' kids.

Pedo.

This thread is a trainwreck.

This thread is a trainwreck.

Yeah I know I was trying to get honest answers here. I forgot the high possibility that people here don't have kids....

 

[pcgeek11]

Thread title doesn't match what you are asking. Spanking does not equal beating. Huge difference.

I had spanked my son on a couple of occasions. I have never beaten him.

No kids but I beat my dogs when they need it, which is very rarely. I nip problems in the bud whenever possible, which means they don't pick up many bad habits in the first place.

I think the last time I had to beat one was when he was absolutely losing his mind over a stray on the other side of the fence, even trying to jump it. I ended up having to tackle him, pin him on his back, and choke a little to get him to calm down at all. He's a shepherd though, so being overly protective takes some extra effort to overcome.

 

[Murloc]

beating kids is not the right word, unless you're one of those psychos who use the belt or something.
Slapping/spanking would be a better word.

I don't hit my dog but I take a newspaper in my hand when she's behaving badly, that usually sends a message already.

 

[highland145]

Heck no. The invisible fence collar with remote saved mine from going to social services.

As a kid I got the belt, hand or paddle when I deserved it. It straightened me up and would avoid trouble as much as a young boy could avoid to prevent it from happening again. At school, wooden paddles were popular and quite effective. Certainly there were some stubborn kids that refused to adjust their behaviors, nothing would have prevented their pathetic adult lives either. And there were some that were so weak minded that they cried into adulthood about it and is why their kids act up in restaurants and Walmarts like spoiled brats that grow up with the "I are special kitty" self entitled attitudes.
There is also some that got knocked around, hit in the stomach..etc as a kid and they grew up to be normal people as others may have not. Everyone is different but your childhood is no excuse for your adult demeanor.

i beat my kid...










at super mario world, he's 4 and doesn't know how to jump and run at the same time.

 

[rh71]

Smacked hard in the butt a few times, but I can't bring myself to actually beat them down and I have a temper. I guess I have more sense than temper. I do know that it would set them straight a lot faster though. Just can't do it.

As a kid, I was hit but never with a belt, etc.

 

[Grooveriding]

We don't have any, but if we did I would stick to a good old fashioned cattle prod. No need to exert yourself when a good zap will do.
