Strange form of discipline

[kidlove]

Thanks for your view Reggio. Was nice (and long) to have another opinion. You have some great points, respect girlfriend. Still doesn't change my mind, I will continue to spank (if neccesary) and hope my kids will raise their kids the same and on and on for generations to come. I respect and honor my Grandparents and Parents ways of life and will continue those "ways" passing on to my kids who will pass to theres. I understand your view point and respect it...it's you right. However the more we try to analyze and fix the world IMO the more "screwed up" it will be. "Just leave well enough alone", that's my motto. God gave me the intelligence to do what I do, I didn't have to further my education to become a good Mom, just have to rely on the good Lord and I have all the know how I need. Some call it "street smarts" some call it "common sense" what ever you call it, thats all you need to do a good job at being a Mom and a Good Wife. No womens lib, no reading this book or that, just down right common sense. and a good role model....my momma was awsome. (so was my grammy)

I don't know alpha, the only thing I got out of that, was missing my hubby......wish he wore white shirts so I could leave out the starch on purpose.....I always welcome a few "spanks" keeps things "alive" if you know what I mean!
TOO "DEEP" LADIES!!!!! Lets have a little fun!!!!!!!!!!!

You took my words out of "my Meaning" I meant MY idea as in (kidloves idea) of "not parenting" is not spanking, because Kidloves beliefs are dif than yours and Kidlove feels that HER proper parenting INCLUDES spanking. but I added that I (kidlove) also believe, it IS possible to raise a proper and well behaved child, without spanking. Just not MY (kidloves) choice of parenting. You ARE a good parent, I can tell by the way you talk about your children and their raising...as I AM a good parent with the way I talk about my children and their raising, however...we choose to do it differently. That's All!!!!

My "common sense" tells me that hitting other people, whether it be under the guise of discipline or not is wrong. I don't think violence should be a part of any family's tradition.

Sometimes, fixing things requires some deeper thought than, "just leave well enough alone". Sometimes, when you know better, you do better.

I'm not here to argue "I am right" and whoever doesn't agree is "wrong"......tru ly Alpha, just here to state my case, while giving respect to all others......same or indifferent. Don't get wound too tight! Shrug it off. ok...on your mark, get set, GO!!!!!

[Sandbox Sally]

Sure ok. But you are arguing your point. LOL And so am I...nothing wrong with that. But I guess, when you've had enough, we stop. Smiley faces all around.

To me that's the glory of the world we live in, so many points of view, so many ways of doing things and the FREEDOM to speak our opinion! and for the most part...the freedom to live how we want! I know we see eye to eye on some things alpha....just not this!!!! ("what-evs" isn't that what all the kids say now a days?)

[Inspired by Reggio]

Yes diversity is the spice of life in many things including opinions .... life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what your gonna get .... I personally think a box of chocolates would not nearly be as enticing if they were all exactly the same flavor .... specially if they were all those sweet truffle things and there were no chewy toffees that make you pause and chew and savor them!

I love me a good debate ~ I grew up having to debate and often being forced to suddenly debate the 'other persons side' as the right course of action ... its what allowed me to survive so long in centre care defending and debating practice that was not really authentically me but what was viewed at the time as 'best practice' for my profession ... of the joys!

[kidlove]

I have a BIG MOUTH and will definitely "speak my mind". gets me in trouble sometimes.

[kidlove]

can tell you LOVE to debate Reggio....and you too Alpha. Not sure if I like the debate (no probly not) I just defend myself and "what I think is right".... so glad I live in a free country!!!
