those of you with kids.. re physical discipline?

[BIG DUB]

The only "time out" i take is in between dishing out the ass whoopins'..

[Tapeworm]

It won't end well. Parents are humourless these days.

I recently made a witty remark in front of my friend's wife about their son having ginger hair - this has resulted in my mate not being allowed out to play anymore.

She's probably just touchy about the kid being born without a soul.  If you direct her to some support websites, surely she'll see your heart is in the right place.  http://www.jlowman.com/Gingerkids.htm

I got hit with the belt and that set my ass straight. 

My favorite was my mom making me walk in snow, Go out in and pick out a switch that had ice all over it and then beat my ass again. 

DAMN THAT SHIT HURT.  

[Luv2Hurt]

I actually think the mother pisses me off more, she has done a HORRIBLE job raising him for him even do Dare doing something like that.

Yes she was "Reasoning" with the "inteligent" youngster LOL.

See works great, they are smarter than we think    Should have given the kid a 2 minute time out, that would have taken care of things.

Its not that kids are "smart" or "smarter than we think" LOL, its just that they have figured out how to manipulate you like a puppet.

Kids are not stupid - they learn very quickly what is right and wrong. You should never hit a kid, period.  Of course, there are going to be times when things don't go your way, or they do something wrong. But you learn other way of discipline.   No television, no computer, no desserts, time out corners, stay in your room, no going to you favorite places, etc.   Hitting is just plain wrong.

Your kids are smarter than you think.  You need to spend time being with them, teaching them, reading with them, instead of just getting angry and lashing out.  If you discuss things with kids, they do understand. 

I have a 6 1/2 year old daughter and a 4 year old son.  It does work.

This X 1,000


If I hit my kid I am saying to him, "I am hitting you to get you to do what I want you to do."

So what do you think he is going to do when he wants something from his little sister? or the kid in his class? or the kid down the street? He's 7, he cannot understand the difference.

I am 6'3. He is not even 4ft. tall. I don't need to touch him to get what I want. I can just look at him. I can give him my psycho voice and he'll pee his pants.

Yes, my parents spanked me. They did not need to.

I am proud of the fact that my son respects me and responds immediately to me, and I have never spanked him. Not once.

"Time out" works. If it's not working, you need to buy a book and learn how to do it the right way.

I was never hit when I was a kid and I think I turned out alright. My grandmother got old school on me and washed out my mouth with soap once  though. I can still vividly remember what that soap tasted like. I also remember missing out on things. I'd have rather been smacked than miss those things.

Mom did fuck up raising this kid.

I love it. For all of those who say to give time outs and take toys away.....how do you correct this kid?

[Devon97]

Oh Brother, Get Biggers giving out advice on parenting lol!

Priceless!

With that being said I was slapped , shoved, and beaten with a leather belt across my bare backside ( often times leaving whelts) on many occasions. However the last time this happened was 6th grade.

The old man tried to force me to study some flash cards back when I was 17 and wouldn't let me leave the room until I studied them. I got up to leave and he got in my way so I threw him out of my way. Nuff said.

Kids that don't receive a powerful corporal punishment grow up to be pussies and cower in the face of adversity.

I agree to an extent. Noone needs a badass generation of kids - however to ignore violence and be hidden from it is not always a good thing.

[Devon97]

I actually remember back in the 4th or 5th grade my mom was beating me silly so I ran into the garage and started screaming "Abuse!" as loud as I could. Later when my old man got home she told him about it and I was beaten again for insinuating that I was being abused. 


My old man's brother was just the opposite. He would not hit his kids but would put them in the corner of a dark room for hours on end. I remember my old man commenting once how he thought that method of dicipline was " abuse " because it could "warp" the kid lol

[noworries]

back as kid it was normal for your to whip the shit out of you with his belt.  It got to where I knew when it was coming and I would stuff a shirt down my pants for padding.  I spank my oldest daughter once and felt really bad.  Never again

Keith, that sounds like a walk in the park to be honest with you.

I was forced to strip off my trousers and superman underpants and lay face down on the bed while my old man lashed away with a leather belt.  These were not half ass lashes mind you, they were full speed , full strength lashings full of rage! I remember I put my hands back there a few times and it hit my hands and hurt badly. There was something about 9 that was his magic number, he would not stop until he had slashed me 9 times with that harsh leather belt.

Lol, then that would be practically all the felons that are incarcerated.

Sounds like corporal punishment works.

Are you say'n I should be locked up!? 

Look hoss, I have endured fantastic physical pain like few others ever had and I believe my early beatings helped prepare me for this.

Everyone feels they have their trials and tribulations that make them the person they are today. People who are hounded by paparazzi and media with no personal life would rather go through some physical pain then endure having their whole life up for everyone to see. It's subjective when it comes to what discipline works best for people.
From my perspective I don't think that physical discipline is necessary, and that although somewhere in someone's life they will have at least one conflict where it will get physical, chances are that they'll live through it and make due just fine.
Now if you're living in an area where assaults, robbery, etc. occur then maybe you should move.

[#1 Klaus fan]

I would never beat my wife because that would be unfair. But kids are ok. You don't even need to hit them as hard to make them feel physical and mental anxiety.

Neither of my parents touched me. And I grew up to really value the right of freedom from abuse that we all should have.

LOL ok "skippy"    Sorry but I don't think a single soul on Earth would ever buy that line.

Something tells me your kids will be going to chior practice and the thespian society instead of football practice!

Dude, people that post their own pics on this site alone have major meltdowns from the ridicule of getbiggers. Pro bodybuilders alone don't post here because they want to avoid the negative remarks, and this is a big media source for bodybuilding. Imagine if they were hounded by the paparazzi and sleaze mags then dirt was printed about G4P, drug use, etc. Now it's out for EVERYONE to see and remark about and then their family starts getting harassed for info, or being dissected about how they raised their kid. Photographers just hanging around your house, in trees, at work just so they can snap a pic. If you don't care about what people think about you and crave the media attention, they I guess it wouldn't matter, but you hear all the time about actors and actresses losing it because these people are always in their grill.

Nah, there ain't no money in it unless you're really talented. My kid will be a doctor, scientist or engineer based on her current interests.

As a kid my ass got whooped and got whooped good!!! You can bet your ass if my kids needed an ass whoopn they got it!!! My kids are 14 and 11 now and they know now I aint gonna whoopem they just lose shit and privelages and now I make em run. Not just run but they do medley type stuff. Run suicides with medicine balls, flip tires, drag sleds, farmers walk etc etc etc.

My boy got 2 detentions this last 9 weeks for incomplete homework assignements. He was grounded for 1 week, lost his board, his phone, computer privelages and he ran simthing everyday he was grounded. Now that we got the gym open and Im running it I got access to everything I need. He is getting disciplined and getting healthy so kinda killing 2 birds with one stone

His last medley he did he had to run 25 feet do 10 push ups run back to the start then run 50 feet do 10 jumping jacks run back to the start then run 75 feet do 10 sit ups run back to start then run 100 feet do 10 jump ropes then run back 100 that was 1 cycle we did this 6 times. Every time he did the push ups, situps, jumpn jacks, and jump roping he screamed out I will do my homework.

Then after that we did the same thing except at 25 feet there was an 8 pounds medicine ball, at 50 feet a 12 pound med ball, 75 feet a 16 pound med ball and at 100 a 20 pound med ball. He ran sucides going and getting me each ball. We did 6 of these also. Soooo I dont think he will be forgetting his homework or getting a detention again, if so he'll be running again!!!

Lol, but if he gets in phenomenal shape and the chicks come around, he may do it so that he can stay in shape all year around!

Doctors still make money and always will especially if they are specialists. It may seem like docs in the US make more, but when you figure in malpractice insurance and frivolous lawsuits, it's really about the same income.

So you intimidate your kid by using the "psycho voice" and being 6'3" and standing over him.  These are physical things also, you may not be touching them but you are using physical means to control them, same shit different method.  Yeah maybe a little softer than smaking the crap out of the brat but still bullying them none the less.  Good job you have instilled fear of you in the little angel.  Bet he feels more happy/less fearful when you are not around.

No. I put him in time out.

The point is, my voice and size alone could scare the shit out of any 4 year old, so where is the need to hit it all - for any reason?

I must not have been clear enough, so thanks for asking for clarification and also for being so cool in the way you did it.
