My dad was hit as a kid and never hit me or my sister. My wife was hit as a kid and has never hit either of ours...
Just because it's a cultural or family "tradition" :umm2: doesnt mean that it can't be changed. |

What difference do you think banning the belt at schools has made?
for the good, if so how? |

You can't understand what it's like to be LGBT but nobody has ever tried to suppress your right to an opinion on it. |

My mum was beaten black and blue for things such as smoking or having a bf or stuff like that So threw her experiences she knew what real punishment was and that allowed her to give her kids a total different punishment to which she received |

I have never smacked my son - I was smacked as a kid on a rare occasion but mainly my mum would just give us "the lips" basically her lips would go white when she was about the explode and that was more than ample warning to shut up pretty sharpish.
I was at primary school when the ban on teachers hitting came in - the best teacher in the school actually retired - that was how she got results on the fear of getting the shakey makey off her - she also used to give one of the boys the slipper EVERY morning, just as a reminder what would happen if he misbehaved (he was very naughty and actually is now in prison for life so discipline did him no good). In short, no you don't have to smack your kids to discipline them - ever. In my house wifi off, early night and football ban does the trick - all you have to do is enforce it and not back down! |

We've had flak (especially online) in the past for the fact that our daughter has been allowed to "play out" with her friends since she was 7...which was totally normal when I was a kid... But a lot of people now say they shouldn't be out without an adult until the age of 12!? Which is madness. I mean I get it for those who have no choice but to live in inner-city areas but in smaller, safer places even though there will always be risks, the tradeoff by not allowing kids any freedom is life-long and huge. A generation of timid, risk-averse, socially anxious young adults. Of course, hitting / not hitting doesn't come into that at all. |

How former rugby players looked up to him as a trainer. How he never swore at us in public....but behind closed doors.. He honestly had nothing to be depressed about....he used to go without for holidays..make our xmas pressies.. But his temper...omg. His dad fought in the war for the first 5 years of his life and was mothered by his mum..but im making excuses for him....i whispered in his ear that i loved him as he lay dying...but that was me at 44. .it would have been different if i was 17-21 |
