*Not trying to toot my own horn*

I've been told that my dd is very well behaved and knows when I mean business because I'm a no nonsense parent. That I am...when I say no...it's no. I don't care if you turn blue from screaming. No. and if it goes on too long I will tell you to STOP or else...

I came from a spanking 'world' and to ME it's one I agree with. Now I have cousins who were never spanked and always listened to their parents and did what's right. So I know that BOTH ways of parenting work!!

I've also had friends "run their mouths" on how I wll never hit my child....well their child is on a time out every 5min and just for the second time kicked his little sister in the head. Oh yeah....'my freind' is doing a GREAT job there! Do I think it has to do with them not-spanking their child? NO...it's about them not knowing how to parent their child!

I think it all boils down to teaching your child right from wrong. Manners and everything else weather or not they (the child) likes it. However you do it....parent the child. There is a saying I quite like "If you've never once said 'I hate you' then I'm not doing my job!".



BTW-
We can't force our opinions on why spanking is good or bad. It's an opinion....once it is said - that is it. No need to come back and "prove" your thoughts again and again and again..... we "got" it.
