Yes I pop my son on the hand and my daughter on the butt( not bare butt) time outs don't work for either one of them.

ABSOLUTELY! And if kids think that's "funny" or doesn't hurt I have a fly swatter and wooden spoon won't their name on it!

Absolutely

Yes Absolutely!!

@blessedmommyof5, yours sounds like my five year old. She's constantly in trouble at school and getting "clipped down" and then we confront her about she lies and says it's the other kids fault for egging her on. Absolutely nothing makes her behave, we've spanked, time outs, I've "thrown away" toys and absolutely nothing. And when she's going to get punished she runs and hides because she knows she was bad. My husband won't chase her, but I've pulled her out from under her bed and the table and spanked her. She'd cry for a little bit then be fine and do it again. It's aggravating.

I am talking about my 6 year old.. he has been " pulling clips " at school .. third one was yesterday. The first time we put him in the corner, second we put him in time out .. we have talked about why he is getting into trouble and he explains to us why it's always a good thing to be good and listen at school... it's like he is doing it to see how far he can push.. If it keeps up I am thinking therapy.. We have had custody since December and he is just now starting to act out.. taking toys away and being ugly towards Sky 18 months old and fibbing..

Sometimes it just take a good pop for them to see you are serious.

I've spanked my 1 year old through his jeans. Never will I do his bare butt. I also have done hand smacks which doesnt help for shit😒 but I had to give him one good pop when he kept trying to jump off the couch. His dad tried a hand smack and felt bad lol
