Spanking Kids

This is a poll so you have the ability to be completely anonymous while answering honestly. Something a dcparent said in passing yesterday made me go read a study and then that study got me thinking and well, here I am asking your for your honesty.

Please be HONEST as this is an anonymous poll.

This is in regards to your OWN children - NOT dckids.

Hey Judy,

What was this study, and what did dc parent say?

What do you want to know? Do we spank our own kids?

yes, that is what she asked :)

figured that out, :) thankyou :)

bumping thread

Yup I would if I've had to!

Thankfully at 2.5yrs I haven't had to give a big spanking. When I use that TONE it's enough for her to listen. Lately though she's been testing me so much more and I've had to ask DH to take over because I don't want to get to that limit unless it's something REALLY bad.

Do I consider a flick of the mouth, tap on the bum or tap on the hands spanking....no. That's me telling her after the 1000th time to stop screaming, spitting, touching etc.

I'm being honest :mellow:

. Oh boy do I relate!!

I don't spank my own child, never have, and can't imagine doing it ever.

I'm same as Mamma Mia. I haven't had to spank my kids but have given a little tap or flick on the mouth or a smack on the hand. I honestly don't think I could bring myself to give them an actual good spanking.
