Subject: For Parents: To Spank or Not to Spank? Author: Jason [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:53:38 06/12/25 Thu To those who have children, I am curious what sort of discussions were had with the other parent regarding spanking. Was there a discussion about if you would be spanking parents? Discussion on what offenses would warrant a spanking? Discussion on how spankings would be carried out? Finally, if there were any disagreements on the above-how were the disagreements resolved? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: For Parents: To Spank or Not to Spank? Author: Angela [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:20:03 06/12/25 Thu My husband and I discussed spanking before we were married. It was even discussed during the marriage preparatory period, required by the Catholic church. We had both been spanked growing up, favored it, so spanking was an easy issue for us. My husband and I didn't always agree on how to punish the kid in every single instance. But once we decided on what their punishment would be then we backed each other. I think that is so important for kids to see.If the punishment had already been given, such as a spanking (and I spanked the most since I was home with them), then even if the other didn't agree with it we still backed each other, at least in front of the kids. They have to know that they can't play one parent against another when it comes to their discipline. There are always going to be disagreements about raising your kids. I think it's important for the parents to communicate and compromise when it's necessary.

Author: Jason [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:31:30 06/12/25 Thu Thank you for your reply, Angela I certainly agree with you that parents should present a united front in front of the children, regardless of the topic at hand. These days, it seems more common for one parent to be pro-spanking and another to be anti-spanking. I know of at least two couples where this has been the case, and I find myself there now. Your suggestion of compromise seems prudent.
