WHY DO MOMS ASK OTHER MOMS IF IT IS OK TO BEAT OR WHIPP THERE CHILDREN?

yeah, I met someone once that tried to prove that she didn't "beat" her kids. By the end of the conversation I knew that she does and is trying to justify and cover up the really bad issue, she shouldn't have kids!

I totally agree. My son is 12 months old and just started to go through this biting stage and when I asked other moms how to curb it the majority told me to bite back.. or smack him in the mouth. Both of which I do not think should ever be done to a child.

I am talking about all the mothers that actually say they scream and yell and hit there children havn't you read any of those....they are horrible stories, not just a little spank but actual hitting, one girl said she does it to her botfriends daughter because the child won't listen to her, another one said that she can't stand her kid he is needy so she hits him.....This is what is making me angry. One girl pulled her post because she knew she was in the wrong. This is that stuff I am talking about... when I posted this.

Quoting Quanda:

Okay I;m about to play devil's advocate for a sec here...when I was growing up it was normal for kids to be spanked. Yes normal. My mother would pick out a switch on the way to the park when we were little so that you knew if you acted a fool you were going to get it. My mom would talk to us, encourage us to talk to her, play with us spend time with us, and showed us love in more ways than I can count. There was never a question of whether or not we were loved. You just knew there were certain things you didn't do without earning a spanking. We learned values that most of the other kids we grew up around didn't learn from their mothers who didn't tan their hides. We respected our elders, showed courtesy and kindness to others, and there was no back talking to adults AT ALL, whether my mom was in the room with us or not. We knew better. No we weren't perfect but neither is anyone else. But we didn't do any of the things you described above either at home or in public and to this day I can tell you that I look around at many of the people I know and watch them do petty, mean things to each other all day long that I would never dream of doing because I have a deeply rooted sense of right and wrong. Got it from my mama. Be careful of judging others for doing something different than what you do. Some people spank their kids as discipline. It doesn't mean they love their children any less than you do. Be well.

i agree....

mothers who ask those questions i think are mothers who are trying to find justifacation for their own actions against their children!

I could not agree more, I have three children, one 23, one 18, and finally one 17, my youngest has a learning disability and can test the nerves, I have never spanked my kids..I have raised my voice to get my point accross, but never screaming or berating them. I have always tried to teach by example and so far they are extremely wonderful children, young adults now. I am proud of them..
