<p>I’ll probably the rare one in saying that I am definitely open to spanking my kids. I am just so sick of going to the grocery and seeing a mother with a screaming, bad, yelling 4 or 5 year old while the mother is just going “no, stop, you’re bad, you’re grounded” and then goes on with her life. My mother used to take me to the bathroom and give me a good spank or two and you better believe that I never acted up in public again. </p>
<p>When you’re younger a good spank or two isn’t detrimental to a child’s development. Now if you’re beating the crap out of your child than there’s a problem. But a slap on the bum here and there isn’t a bad thing. </p>
<p>I was spanked as a child and I turned out just fine. Hell, I’m still slapped sometimes today and I"m 15 about to be 16. </p>
<p>I’m just sick of seeing parents that rely on timeout for punishment. I honestly don’t believe in the parenting style of being your child’s best friend. I want my kids to be comfortable around me but not too comfortable where they act up and do bad, inappropriate things…</p>
