Subject: Re: Plausible punishment spankings Author: Laura82 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:04:42 04/24/25 Thu In reply to: Dana 's message, "Re: Plausible punishment spankings" on 00:26:56 04/23/25 Wed Dana, I'm sorry it was so bad for you. It wasn't that bad for me. Sure it was embarrassing and hurt like hell. In the cold light of day I would have chosen it over grounding, but if it was imminent I would have been too scared. Fortunately I never had to choose. I'd have chickened out and kicked myself afterwards. Honestly I'm not so sure about spanking any more. The problems are exaggerated in my opinion, but there is almost always a better solution. It worked for me but I've never smacked my girls.

I'm not sure how to measure comparatively how bad it was for me, but I think I survived as well as you appear to have gotten past it. Most kids are pretty resilient. Everyone in my family turned out good. Maybe not as good as we could. We love our parents, they love us, and we needed them very much. If we must, we forgive, and we don't allow the love to be broken. I have never spanked a child, and the idea of it repels me, however I have not been in the position of having to make that decision. I do know that parenting is not always easy, even with kids who are inherently good. You sound like the kind of parent every kid should have, doing the honest best you can. I don't give advice regarding spanking but, with their best interests at heart, your girls will be raised well. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
