>Before my husband and I got married, sometimes we'd be >out and we'd see kids acting up in public. Pitching >tantrums and so forth and we'd catch ourselves saying, >"If that was my kid..." Even after we got married >we'd say the same thing. Then when I got pregnant with >our first. We started having serious conversations >about how we would raise him or her. Since, my hubby >has a good job that can support us very well, we >decided that it would be best for all of us if I were >a stay at home mom, just like my Momma and instead of >using the whole "Wait till Daddy gets home nonsense." >It would be best if I did handle most of the >discipline since I was home with the kids the most. >Both of my parents spanked over the knee and on the >bare butt, usually by hand, but sometimes with a >hairbrush. Mark got many of his spankings from his >Daddy bare with a belt. So we both agreed that the way >my parents did it, would be the best way to handle it. >I also asked my Momma for advice and she told me, >"First of all, NEVER spank them when you're mad at >them. If they have done something to really make you >mad, give yourself time to cool off and think about >it. When you're angry, you can easily go overboard, >like your Granny used to do to me. Second, make sure >you tell them exactly why they are getting spanked and >let them have the opportunity to explain why they did >what they did. You might find out, they might not >deserve that spanking after all. Then she hugged me >and said, Third, ALWAYS make sure you let them know >how much you love them even when you have to punish >them." I talked to Daddy about it too and he basically >told me the same things. So, we decided, I would >generally handle the spankings, We would do it bare >bottom by hand over the knee. There would be some >discussion first, followed by the spanking. Then after >the spanking, there might be some discussion followed >by hugs, then the slate was clean. No bringing it up >later or rubbing their nose in it. Momma gave long, >hard, fast spankings and Daddy was slower and more >deliberate, usually giving about a dozen or so smacks. >So I decided to be more like Daddy when it came to >spanking. My husband pretty much agreed with the way >that I do it and on the occasions he spanks one of the >kids, he will do the same. > >I have, like Momma, used a hairbrush a few times when >I spanked my kiddos. Each one so far has been on the >business end of my hairbrush twice. > >After the spanking, they are free to pull their pants >up when they are ready. In most cases, they go to >their room after and I give them a few minutes to >settle down and then go talk with them and have a >little "make up time" with them.
