Beat your children, its a good thing

I agree with your first story, I see TOO much of BS like that... Parents need to be what they are called, PARENTS, and PARENT their damn child...
The second story about the lady is hilarious, and to Dravens13's idea for extortion, even more funny
Good post, interesting read, and I agree with so much.

It's true kids learn by example but maybe for you (since I don't know you either) you learned to 1) hate your parents and 2) never hit your kid with a belt from your parents hitting you with a belt...
I grew up in a single parent home, and as if that wasn't enough stress, I did really stupid things (got caught stealing shit, graffiti, other stupid things)... But every time I did something bad (mind you this all happened in 1 year cause I was trying to be the cool kid) my mom would BEAT me as ixfxi would put it, and after that year, I was a straight A, perfect attendance student... I'll admit at the time that she was disciplining me I would feel like I hate her, but now that I'm older I know why she did it, and I learned how to be a parent from her... But thats just me... Basically, contradicting what you said, I learned that when I do decide to have children, I have to discipline them, because as a child I stepped out of line, and after being beat, I learned not to do it... Thats my two cents...

Again +1 for ixfxi, great post

Then of my kid learns anything from me then he /she will be one fucken drunk up the butt hole satan. LOL
But really Im thinking the same thing, because my brother is not putting his foot down on his kid. Very sad.

I'm 19, don't have any kids, but my life's straight. I have a girlfriend who I feel is the one and only, who I've talked to just about every aspect of life.

To what xblack240x said: I don't think it was your mom that set you straight. Your mom only made the situation worse by 'beating' you. It was you realizing of your own wrong-doings that set you straight. Whether you learned from your mom's harsh beatings or your actions doesn't matter.
It's your choice to LEARN from your mistakes. It's your mom's duty as a parent to TEACH you of what's right and what's wrong (parenting). Fortunately, you learned and are walking the right path.

Parenting comes in many forms as I'm sure everyone's already aware of. It takes more for a young child to learn than an adult because of human mind development. That's why punishments for an adult are much harsher than punishments for a young child. What's the American time-out for? What's jail time or prison time for? Time hopefully spent to learn.

It's the parents' duty to make the mistakes made by their children significant so there is something to learn from. There are much more efficient methods of punishment than beating. To each parent their own.
