I feel the same way. There is a HUGE difference between a couple of disciplinary swats and abuse. My parents reserved spanking for serious, safety-related offences stuff like running out into the street and wandering off in the supermarket and GUESS WHAT? I never pulled that shit again. I also grew up into a healthy, well-adjusted adult with no violence problems to speak of.

In the first situation, if your parents weren't watching over you long enough that you were able to run into the street, they weren't doing their job.

In the second place, if you were out of the child seat in the shopping cart in the supermarket and therefore ABLE to wander off, again...your parents weren't doing their job.

Common sense. None of which requires corporal punishment.

Hahahahaha seriously? Do you even have a child? If a four year old doesn't want to stay in the child seat, the four year old will climb out of it and run. It's the parent's job to make the child stay there and if reasoning didn't work, rewards didn't work, taking away privileges didn't work, but spanking worked? Then that's a bloody good parent.

New anon, by the way. While there are bad parents who don't give a hoot if their kids are running around out of their eyesights, there are also kids who will do everything they can to manipulate their way into getting what they want. You sound way too idealistic.

da

you underestimate how sneaky little children are

it's not a question of being a good or a bad person, or how much you do or do not watch or discipline the child; you can't literally keep your eyes on a child 24/7! it's physically impossible!

[(Anonymous)]

If you were invested enough in your responsibilities as a parent, YOU WOULD. No one ever said parenting was easy.

[(Anonymous)]

You stare at your kids when they're asleep? You watch them when they're in the washroom, doing their business? You watch over them 24/7, every second of the day? If you aren't an android, you're a fucking creep.

[(Anonymous)]

so, parents shouldn't clean, cook, go to the bathroom, sleep, do the dishes, do the laundry, work, etc., and instead keep their eyes peeled on children 24/7?

anon, real life doesn't work that way

it's not a matter of "not being invested" or not being a good parent or whatever twisty thoughts are going through your mind

damn, even I know this and I don't even have kids!

[(Anonymous)]

Ha... Oh wait, you're serious, let me laugh harder. HA HA HA HAAA!

Let me clue you in to an ugly truth that no one ever wants to acknowledge about having children. They are faster than cheetahs, more silent than ninjas, and more agile than lemurs when they want to be; and that scale goes up dramatically in proportion to doing things they shouldn't be doing. You CANNOT watch a child 24/7 and function. It can't be done. At some point you have to be driving a car, counting money to put in the parking meter, read labels on products, or fish out your debit card to pay for something. Big deal, you say, that's like a couple of seconds, tops.

Take it from someone who lost a child in a shopping mall for 20 terrifying minutes during the "couple of seconds" it took to dig out their checkbook at the register, kids can and will vanish on you no matter HOW vigilant you are. If you never lose your kid, it's not because you're an amazing parent - it's because your kid didn't go far enough for you to register it as a loss.

lmao this

I was the most obedient little thing you could imagine and I still wandered a few aisles away when shopping without telling my parents, thinking to myself "oh, it's just a quick look around here, I'll catch up with them right away, so they will never notice I was gone!"
