Why is it okay to hit kids but not adults?

I'd say most people on this forum advocate corporal punishment for kids... but not for wives and girlfriends. Why is it okay to hit kids but not adults? What's the difference?
 
Generally speaking, with the exception of instances that involve physical danger to a child too young to understand reason (where punishment may actually save the kid's life by keeping them from doing something stupid again) I think you will find that people who think it is okay to hit kids also think it is okay to hit adults.

I am one of those people. I gently pat the bottom of my kid if the kid has done something wrong, and I also smack the wife on the bottom when we're having rough sex
 
Adults are not guardians of other adults, nor responsible for the actions of others. On the other hand, parents are responsible for the actions of their children. A slap on the wrist may stop a child from doing something extremely harmful in the future.
 
hey.. i think kids need a good wack now and then..
time outs or whatever the fvck activists are preaching these days dont work worth a damn..
when I messed up i had to go and pick my own hickory switch.. man those damn things hurt.. but boy you remeber what you did to fvck up..

I think you need to understand there are a lot of people on these forums who make Rumsfeld look like a raging liberal.

Is this really a rational question?

Haha...

"Now Johnny, was throwing your spaghetti-o's across the room a logical response to not getting any dessert?" Surely we can sit here and discuss a better course of action that you could use the next time this happens."
 
One is for discipline. and it isn't "hitting" the kids hard, it is spanking. The act is punishment even if it doesn't hurt much (which really it just stings for a second), the kid knows they did something bad.

The other is not discipline, but rather a way of taking out aggression.
 
I'm in favor of an occasional spanking, which is a big difference from beating. Kids today are not getting enough of it, IMO.
 
I never though physical punishment wasn't necessary if you are an excellent parent. If you aren't though, then I guess it's acceptable. If your child can reason, then that would be more effective IMO....
 
There is a very fine line between reprimanding a child with corporal punishment and physically abusing a child. Having two children of my own I can't say I didn't spank them while they were young at times, but I didn't do so abusively. However, I would not sign the peice of paper that was sent from the school giving the school authorities the right to do it, because I don't trust others judgements or intentions.

I found as my kids got older that taking away priveldges and posessions became much more effective than corporal punishment. Besides there comes a point when you have to ask yourself what are we really teaching our kids in the process when we do physically afront them in such a manner. But every parents situation is different.

Because normally you are an authority figure over the kids, and they dont know better, and you punish them with a limited amount of violence.

As kids grow up, it takes harder and harder hits to make them learn their lesson. By Adulthood it takes enough of a beating to send you to jail 😛 IE injure them severely.

Thats why I advocate violence against children up until the age that breaking wooden object over their ass no longer cause them to reform their ways.
