Dear Mr.Patterson,
I answered you already but my post didn't appear here and I'm repeating it.
You told - " I support spanking of BOTH boys and girls."
I agree with you but I'm raising boys only. However, in my own childhood, my brother, I and our male-cousin were spanked by parents regularly enough. Two girl-cousins never were spanked (they parents considered it's only punishment for boys) and got grounding and corner-time. The other side, my wife, when she was growing, was spanked the same as both her brother, younger and older. Yes, she got less frequently than brothers and got her last about 16 but brothers got until 17-18. Nevertheless, if she deserved punishment, father spanked her the same as all children in family - in front siblings and on the bare.
Your opinion - "I just think opposite gender parents need to take precautions to guard the modesty of the child. Example, my wife does not spank the boys bare." -
In our family, where 4 boys are growing in our little house, we don't encourage big embarrassment among boys. The first, my wife and me think both parents have equal rights for children raising. Boys understand that I'm main spanker in family but, if I out of home what happens often enough, and any from boys need in emergency punishment, he gets mother's spanking instead mine. We don't accept opinion that mother can't see their own sons. If I spank boys, it's almost always in mother's presence. Moreover, our youngest, Timmy, is bathed by mom completely still, middle, Jeff, is supervised, and even our olders, Patrick and Andrew (nephew) are checked by her sometimes, if their cleanliness is doubtful. It's part of usual mother's care.
Mr.Patterson, last news about my boys. Patrick is nice after last spanking 10/03/12 and his behavior is excellent now. Timmy was spanked last Saturday for bad behavior in school. Jeff and Andrew were caught by Andrew's mom (my sister-in-law) for smoking and they both will be punished by me this Saturday. Indeed, boys are boys.
