I'm pretty sure that I was 10 for that one. Definitely not one of my better moments and I can't really disagree that the spanking was deserved.

I remember it as one of the longer car rides of my life because he told me right away that I would be getting spanked when we got home and I realized pretty quickly that I had really crossed a line.

I can appreciate the argument against trying to teach non-violence by using corporal punishment. However, I remember getting a spanking at home for fighting at school, and I wasn't so philosophical about it. I went from thinking I was powerful to the maximum in vulnerability, and there may be times in life where some humility is the answer.

Author: Rebecca [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:54:14 06/05/24 Wed Children understand the difference between spanking and hitting. Actually any kind of punishment involves treatment which would otherwise be unacceptable. I suppose this is why many modern "experts" now preach no punishment at all, ever.The timeout is out! Ridiculous! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
