bowie
there is a thread about this on facebook in a group that i have joined. the comments on this thread (126 comments in two hours since it was posted - bizzy sahm alert!!) are incredible.
here are just a few:
"nope u not the only one as kids me and my brothers used to count to 3 and run real fast as soon as we heard the drawer open a few spoons got broken that didnt hurt because generally it was Nonna banging the spoon on the table that was always enuff to pull us up and stop us from doing what we were doing and when the spoon actually made contact it never hurt cause it was never hard enuff and still to this day ill b getting something out of the fridge or plugging an appliance in a look around for someone with the spoon ready LOL"
"all of my boys have had a smack on the butt and there bloody good kids i can take them anywhere and i always get compliments and thats because i am there mum they know i love them and you dont have to smack you kid every time we have tried the time out and the take something away that they like the go to your room its all bull you give them 3 warnings you tell them what they are doing wrong each time then if they keep it up you have to follow through now they are 7,9 and 14 and great kids to be around they dont need smacks now they know right from wrong and you have to teach them that from a very early age"
these people are parunts. makes my head hurt.

I'm in 100% agreement. To hell with this negotiating and time out bullshit. You give em a good smack on the ass and they'll stop doing whatever it is they're doing. My mum didn't mess around with all that other bullshit...wham! wham! wham...you can believe I quit misbehaving immediately.

I wonder if it isn't the smacking so much as the mentality change that allows for it that makes the difference. Having expectations of your children is the key, whether you spank them or not.

I really think that it's mentality. I (very) ocasionally watch my nieces and nephews. I don't mind, as they live far away and we see eachother once a year. A couple of them are unruly hellions. But the little terrors are extremely well mannered, when it's just me and them.
I have never had to raise my voice at them. I only have to look at them and give an order. They will obey. They KNOW I have no fuzzy feelings for them and will not hesitate disciplining them.
