Me: I don't agree with physical punishment Mom group: "triggered" "I turned out fine" " your mom shaming" "blocked"

I don't agree with it either but here lately I have been swatting my daughters hand. Now if another baby grabs something she wants she says no then smacks his hand SMH.

Guess whose not doing that anymore 💁🤗

Now I have to find another way to punish because she's so strong willed and what I was doing with her older sister doesn't work for her.

Her sister I was able to distract, talk to to and reason with. Kynzleigh is just a whole different child. Now I'm telling her hands aren't for hitting and not even hand swatting anymore.

@mamabird228 exactly it only made me resent my parents more and make me not able to trust them. A smack makes you feel vulnerable and when the person who's supposed to comfort you hurts you it ruins that connection.

100% agree with this.

@nerdymommyplus2 That's great it takes a good mother to recognize mistakes and go out of her way to try harder and be better. I mean that sincerely ❤

I don't agree but everyone is entitled to their own opinion on how to raise their babies. I was spanked as a child and I never hit another kid in return. If everyone raised kids the same the world would probably be boring

I also don’t agree, but won’t block you for a different opinion. That’s lame and petty.

Parenting styles are different, and work differently on various children.

I personally was spanked as a child, and never once did I raise my hand to another kid nor adult. I was too terrified of being spanked again. I wasn’t every terrified of my dad (who spanked me) just terrified of acting poorly which could lead to a spanking. I personally will use spanking as a form of punishment when my child is old enough to know the difference between wrong and right (if she deserves the punishment of course). However, I can understand yalls viewpoints that hitting can in return cause hitting. You never know what is and isn’t going to work until you have to do it to your own child, and if spanking backfires then I will stop and figuring out another way to show my daughter discipline.

Spanking worked for me and my sister. I’ve realized it doesn’t work on my two youngest sisters though. They act worse after being spanked.

I whoop my daughter and she doesn’t hit other kids 🤷🏽‍♀️.
