I need some advice.. my son acted up in the store and I spanked him and told him not to act like that.. and people were looking at me all funny.. and some lady was judging me how to raise my kid!! I'm very pist! do u moms spank your kids?
your doing what's best for your child which is your business.. I have a 15 and a 7 year old so that know I don't play. and I used to be a child care provider where I know that everybody is considered mandated reporters, where you think your doing the right thing someone else can look at it differently and open up a can of of unnecessary worms for you
@mopace, if my daughter started throwing a tantrum in wal mart I'm not gonna sit there and let her continue her behavior that's a good way for her to learn that that behavior is tolerated when it's not. I'm not saying I'm gonna full on cock back my arm and swat the crap out of her butt but hard enough that she feels it and recognizes that I will not tolerate bad behavior like that in a store. In a store we are to act civilized and be polite and throwing a tantrum is not polite
I will spank my son , I believe it is needed sometimes after warnings and chances but now that he is 6 I hardly ever have to anymore !
How old is he? I have a 11 month old that just recently started acting up.. I'm trying to see what the best way to teach him is I don't know if I agree with spanking CUZ I myself used to get spanked excessively by a dad who didn't think it was so I always thought I would never do it to my own but at the same time there isn't anything wrong with spanking a little.. So what other options are there? Lol
if it's needed but never in a public place
I believe in spanking. There's times it's needed. I know there's some people who don't like it and consider it child abuse but that's probably why their kids are little shits
Yes I been spanking my daughter since she was one
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.


Enjoying some fun in the sun ☀️
Don’t come for me about him not wearing a life jacket. I don’t want to hear it. He was fine 🙄

Where are you on the spanking debate? It is a parent's choice, some kids are so strong willed they don't respond to anything but a whack on the tush, but I have seen many adults take it too far as well.
I'll be spanking my son if he gets out of control. Kids need to be disciplined rather than this pansy stuff parents do these days.
