It has haunted me. I love my dad and know he just did what he was taught. But I feel he took it too far a few times. I won't do that to my children. As far as chores, I need to start implementing them with Nathan. And I need to get better at taking things away. I'm too much of a softie.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800885584221154638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069571960218919350.post-68128153261039140252013-01-11T21:00:13.164-05:002013-01-11T21:00:13.164-05:00LOVE this post! I think you sound like an amazing ...LOVE this post! I think you sound like an amazing mom and you are doing so much good for Zane! Kids NEED punishment.... not a beating. Punishment. They need boundaries and there needs to be consequences when they cross those boundaries. <br />I was totally spanked (the worst was with a wooden spoon) and my kids will definitely be spanked. Not that I can imagine doing that now, Mia is a perfectly innocent 3 week old :) But I have no doubt that girl is going to earn her fair share of spankings. But she'll also get a talk after each punishment of why she got it, and that I'm doing it because I love her!<br />And kids need chores! They need to earn things. They need to learn that they aren't entitled to whatever they want just because the exist. Hard work is something to be proud of, and something that our children need to learn and take pride in!

Although I think I was still under 10 when my parents stopped whooping us. Either way it was usually either hand or hickory. I don't think (or remember) getting the belt..although I'm sure we did a couple of times. But boy, just seeing that thing come off would scare the bejeesus out of you. lol And having to go outside & pick your own hickory was one of the worse, most dreaded things everrrr.<br />Spankings are needed sometimes, period. No one wants to spank their kids, but hell, they can't just do whatever they want all the time! Gotta let them know. <br />Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199238757161561621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069571960218919350.post-34395779795425231612013-01-11T12:13:41.914-05:002013-01-11T12:13:41.914-05:00I agree.

And I've had experience teaching all ages, including children with disabilities. All children are different. They all respond to different punishments in different ways. It makes me sick to see kids running their households, because it only makes the real world a bigger shock for them, and they cannot stand on their own two feet. When we were little, we got spankings. And if we did something hateful {like kicking} or dangerous that we knew we shouldn't have been doing, the punishment was definitely worse. I don't see spanking as child abuse at all. There are plenty of kids who have never been spanked, but their parents spend no time with them, and they turn out for the worse, and feel less loved. Good post! Glad you published it!

They do need to know that actions have consequences. Zane is lucky to have you guys as parents. I foresee my youngest being a wild child too and he has gotten his share of pops for hitting and biting. Has to learn the proper ways to get our attention and tell us what he wants. ;-)Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713281826951568424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069571960218919350.post-15630471406102096032013-01-11T09:27:35.307-05:002013-01-11T09:27:35.307-05:00I agree!!

My parent's didn't beat me - in fact, they can probably count on two hands how many spankings I got in my lifetime. I knew they meant business! And when I have kids, I plan on doing the same. I think parents who spank definitely get a bad rap these days, but it is seriously what kids need! You sound like an awesome parent, Anna!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15611280675371676894noreply@blogger.com
