My Dad Could Probably Still Whip My A**

I think children's respect has more to do with the personalities of the parents than it does the kind of discipline they use. I know great kids that were never spanked and i know terrible kids that were hit all the time.

That is a true statement. I don't think you can just spank a kid whenever. If it comes to the point I'm going to spank mine.. it is explained why (usually for multiple infractions of the same issue) so it is understood clearly by the child what they did.. how and why it is unacceptable... and how their actions and behavior accounted for this punishment. Also I'm very clear in what is expected going forward.

I just knew to not embsrass my parents in public. I was a terror at home, because we got to pretty much roam free on several hundred acres but being a brat in a public place got you the death sentence.

I'm the same. My kids are generally good kids, but they're kids. I don't beat them, but I have, and do spank them when I feel it's called for. Some things they get grounded (which is 90% of the time), and sometimes I'll spank them. Whatever punishment, we go in depth as to why they're being punished.

There are usually several things we do before spanking. Grounding... then losing games or toys.. then hard labor.. have even had them do pt sessions with me.. pushup and situps.. spanking is last but always preceded with with a thorough explanation of why it has come to that point.

He is, but strictly blaming all parents for raising all these millennial softies is Ras blaming everyone but the student for bad student loans level dumb.

Our society is built on blaming everyone else for ones own faults, though liberals infiltrated "Education" decades ago so that's not helping.

Nerd needs to realize that individuals have far more control over their own life than he thinks. As an adult, it's time you quit blaming your parents for being worthless.

I understand you, but its hard to find something more irritating than a parent who runs his kids down.

Certainly so, accountability is crucial. I look squarely in the mirror when it comes to the shortcomings in my life. I was raised to do so.

It is foolish to say though that our parents do not help shape the people we become.

I also find it funny how you place all the blame on everyone else for the way society is and do not look towards yourself to see if you are helping to improve things.

Kids these days are whiny and weak.

This year in fifth grade the teacher decided to let the students decide where they sit or stand. She brought in bean bags and futons.

I want u to find your happy place she said.

I started laughing and left...

Wife didnt even yell at me afterwards. Even she tjought it was nuts.

My son now complains that his bean bag is not his favorite color.

Just ran into this Monday at meet the teacher
my daughters 4th grade class has different seating available.
There's one table really low to the ground, with cushions on the floor to sit on, a couple of 4 person desk, that are normal size with chairs, a couple with the exercise balls that you would sit on to strengthen your core, and a tall table to that's for a standing desk...

All I could think of his the kids throwing those exercise balls around and using them as soccer balls

Could I take my Dad at this point in life?? Probably. The man's 76 years old. However, would I get out unscathed?? Absolutely not.

Dad's only ever actually hit me one time, because he thought I told my mom to FO. He was a Golden Gloves boxer in his youth....I never saw his left hand move, it was that fast. I guarantee you that there would be a couple of those hard lefts coming if I ever tried (not that I would).

Everything you've said about your parents over time has painted a good picture of them being great people, and raising a fine young man.

Don't ya miss those moments 😜

I don't miss that at all. "Let's see what your dad thinks about this when he gets home" was a phrase that struck fear in all of us. Mom was too small to be good at spanking. That changed when dad made her a paddle out of 3/8" acrylic board. But it was never as bad as the man himself or the self selected switch. You quickly learned to not do things that might warrant that punishment.

So why don't you hit him like your parents did you?

You know that wouldn't be politically correct these days! :loco: Not saying my kids don't get the occasional spanking, just not the same as what I got when I was their age, and the kids seem to have more mouth than my generations did...maybe what they see and hear on social media or something...
