Disturbing

Tuesday, August 26. 2008

This morning as I was doing my normal drops I started to read a few of the blogs that I normally do not read, or just glance at the newest posts. For some reason something caught my eye on each of them so I started to just read older posts on their front page.

I was really disturbed by a few of them. All are really nice sites do not get me wrong but they were writing about their children and spanking them

One went so far as to say they were in pain and the child was crying and they felt like spanking them so hard to make them stop. Whoa back that train up. That one was the worst of all the others I read.

The others were about how they spanked this one and that one. OK, I realize that we all rear our children in different ways yet personally reading the one about spanking so hard just disturbed me enough to post on it. Usually I read things and laugh about it.

Small children and spanking them because you are in pain? I guess we have never heard of

Pain Begets Pain

Spanking a child when they are crying only makes them cry more. AND if you feel that you need to spank a child get some help.

I have six children which more than half are 18 and over. Only two are 14 and 8. I can actually count the times I spanked any of them. I lectured them to death or they had time outs or things taken away that they liked. BUT if I was in a mood that I felt pain or sick I would explain it to them and I would walk away. Making sure they were taken care of at all times.

No, I am by far not a perfect parent as there really is not one of those walking this green earth and if you think there is you are an idiot

I don't know but spanking a child is just not appropriate discipline. Especially if it is taking your pain or anger that you are personally feeling out on them.

Though I have no children at the moment, I have always been an advocate of spanking or slapping a hand, of course all depending on the situation. It was how I was raised as a child, yet my family members all knew when it was and, most importantly, when it wasnât appropriate. I could probably count on both hands how many times I was spanked in my life (and I was an extremely mischievous child). But spanking a child because they will not stop crying is HORRIBLE. I can only hope that these parents were talking about their inner feelings and not anything they would ever actually do.

I am hoping the same thing that it was just a general rant. Yet it just left me feeling uncomfortable in thinking what if??? I have tapped their hands saying NO but the spanking when angry like I have read is just wrong
