ADVICE FROM MAMAS WHO SPANK AND DO TIMEOUTS PLEASE
I have an almost 3 year old daughter and I am struggling with spanking. Every time I tell her shes getting a spanking she immediately yells "sorry mom, sorry mom" over and over again and starts screaming bloody murder as I am explaining. This is with warning too. She freaks out. What I always do is try to lay her on my lap and give her a bare spanking. The problem is she has gotten so big and with her resisting and flailing and trying to turn away with all her might I am completely exhausted and drained. I'm literally shoving her down onto my lap to keep her down and can barley use my other arm to give her a swat. And its rarely effective anyway. I usually miss or not hard enough. I've tried just having her stand but she will not move her hands away. I am calm through this whole thing. doesn't work. She is bigger than kids her age and is the size of an average 4-5 year old. Tall and big boned. She is so strong and itsexhausting to spank. It was so much easier before she grew this big.
