Jean in Newcastle Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ds12 is begging me to spank him instead of banning him from computer use! I told him, no - after all, I can see that grounding from the computer is much more effective! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4boys Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I agree. If he's asking for a spanking, you know which punishment will be more effective! :D That's kind of funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineFarmMom Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 That's funny!! In 8th grade I was in band. The band hall was on the entire opposite side of the building from my English class and I could NOT make it in the 5 minutes we had between classes. Needless to say, I had a lot of tardies that year. Well, after 3 tardies you would either get 2 days of detention at 2 hours per day or swats with a paddle. I wound up having that choice three times that year and I picked swats every time!! Who wouldn't want a little pain that lasted 3 seconds over having to waste 4 hours of your life after school. ;) If I was your dc, I'd pick the spanking. If I was you, I'd take away the computer!!

SonshineLearner Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Gotta Love Texas and the Texas sized paddles.... When I was in school, I had my school office look for the "do not paddle" paper... I had to go about 3 times before they "found" it. I was NOT going to be paddled.... But, I was sick, because they were endlessly painting... and I'm allergic to the fumes and such. Anyway, nurses office was outside the principal's office. I was SO tired of hearing "pow pow pow" or whatever sound the paddle makes... I was also glad I wasn't on the receiving end. I'd rather 2 hrs of daydreaming than even one swat!

tdeveson Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Never spank. Especially if they prefer a spanking. Duh! ;) Seriously, several new studies have surfaced in the past few weeks and it doesn't look good for spanking. We're talking long term emotional issues, lower IQ, do I need to go on? I never laid a hand on dd who is 27. Ds (10) has taken me to the wall and back and has gotten smacked at least 10 times in his life. I wonder how many IQ points he's lost.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deidre in GA Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 times don't change as much as we imagine. in my family, mom gave whippings. yep, used a belt, dog leash, or a switch. nowadays it would probably be considered abuse but i didn't think so and, though i chose not to use those methods, i still don't consider it abuse. that being said, in my tweens my mom took away my TV privileges for a week for something i did wrong. i was aghast! i begged for a whipping - anything but taking away the TV. i never did get whipped again - Mom had discovered a much more devastating punishment!!!

KidsHappen Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 :lol: fate worse than death? no computer. how do I know? I couldn't get on HERE yesterday! Yeah, I would have settled for a spanking as well. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
