First, let me make it clear I have no problem with spanking a child when deserved. However, this particular piece of parenting left me in stitches...
"We don't hit people."
"We don't hit people."
"Do you want me to give you a spanking?"

Well, at least you recognize it.

Stupid parent. Should have worded it; "You don't hit people."

I don't see spanking and hitting as the same thing (although I see your point).
Honestly, I don't recall if I've ever spanked my kids or not.
We'll see what Mike has to say when he has kids.
That is a frightening thought.

Are you really old, or have you been taking some of those amnesiac drugs you guys prescribe? How can you not remember if you've ever spanked your kids or not?
I don't remember every spanking, but I do remember a few that made me feel terrible afterward. Of course when the kid came and nuzzled up on my lap 10 minutes later and fell asleep with his arms around my neck it took away most of the terrible.
The problem with Froze's scenario is that it should have went "stop it, now." The next time the kid did it, bam.
Parents spend entirely too much time warning their kids, negotiating with their kids, threatening their kids, waffleing and cowtowing to their kids, etc. You do not negotiate with terrorists, and make no mistake about it, kids are just little mini-terrorists. Selfish, close-minded, mean, simple, all about me little thugs.
I am pretty sure my kids aren't "all about Dean" little thugs.

I'm 41. Yes, I'm really old.
I meant that I don't think I've ever had to spank my kids, but I'm not against it.
41? You're a pup.
I spanked the older 2 boys, but the younger 3 haven't ever needed it. Funny how kids knowing that when there are actual consequences for their bad behavior they magically do the right thing. The younger ones pretty much went "I don't want none of that ****" for sure.
I took a ton of beatings (many that by today's standards my dad would be jailed for child abuse) and my younger brother might have gotten the belt once or twice in his life. Why? Cause my brother knew dad wasn't ****ing around when he said "you better not let me catch you boy."
I get nauseated in the grocery stores these days when screaming kids are telling their fat mommas to shut up, hitting them, demanding candy and crap, and the fat momma is just "stop it jonny, stop it jonny, mommy is not going to get you any candy if you don't stop it jonny, you're embarrassing mommy jonny...." Meh.
There are two classes of people who know how to parent best: those that have never had any kids, and those who had kids but are too old to remember when they were young. The rest of us are complete idiots who are lucky that our kids live to adulthood, much less become responsible adults.
Example, me at 22, sneering at the neighbor kids: "When I have kids they won't run around outside in nothing but a diaper".
Reality, me at 30 with two young kids: they are both running around, buck naked, in the back yard, and I'm just happy to have a few moments of quiet.
Some of you people really need to unclench.
It was a funny combination of words to me. Thought I'd share it and some of you would get a chuckle. Nobody said you were a bad parent if you spanked your child-and in fact I even prefaced the post with that just to make sure nobody thought they were being attacked.

Froz, your attitude towards child discipline insults and enrages me.
Our youngin's get the choke chains around their neck yanked at the first sign of trouble
Their older brother gets tossed several feet if he steps outta line.
I don't feel attacked, but I do want to point out that Bill Cosby was absolutely right when he says that kids make you brain-damaged. You tend to say things that make you seem like a babbling idiot. I still can't believe these words ever came out of my mouth: "Matthew, stop putting cheese on your brother's head!"
No fighting in the War Room!
