Do you think it's appropriate for parents to spank their children as a punishment? (50% poles do)

I unironically wish my parents hit me more, i deserved it

I think that if one gets driven mad by their child and thinks it's a good reason to spank them

Children should never be struck in anger, only as discipline

If they were good at parenting to begin with they wouldn't have to hit their kids.

Whinecels be seething over spankchads.

Unironically though, I knew a foid who always said "The studies say spanking doesn't work!!!"

Then she became a middle school teacher and that went out the window.

Childless cute twinks who are too selfish and childish themselves to ever have children of their own lecturing others on child rearing. “If you just lecture little Timmy for two hours about how x behavior is illogical and self-defeating then he will surely make the right choice!” No, you are r-slurred. Your hyper-rationalization nonsense doesn’t even work on you, dear internet commenter, who quickly gives in to their every temptation and has zero self control. You truly have no idea what you are talking about. I don’t give one shit about your studies made by other childless mentally ill homos in a joke of a field undergoing a replication crisis. If you love your kids, then you will spank them.

My parents never had to resort to violence when dealing with me cuz I was a good boy

My r-slured siblings can not say the same, howver

Hitting your kid's a shit thing to do and should not be done, but if the little shit's throwing a tantrum in a shopping aisle or otherwise being a big nuisance to bystanders that it's fine to physically move them instead of trying to debate the brat.

Don't want them learning that crying's the way to go for getting things your way.

Yeah. Didnt read btw

Proud polski tradition, RETVRN to spanking especially with kapcie

Hitting kids just teaches them that violence is a good way to with their frustration. They should model patience and try to act more mature than a child

My mom spanked me til I was ten, her rationale being that at that age I would be able to understand reason

She was right too. I had been told plenty of times as a kid not to run in the road, but I was a little r-slur and did it anyway I sure as heck stopped after I got spanked tho.

There’s a huge difference between child abuse and using the strongest deterrent available for the most crucial lessons. Obviously you shouldn’t hit a kid for stuff as trivial as crying in public or the like, but if I hadn’t been spanked you bet your butt I would have kept running in the road until a car stopped me.

I would never hit my children, I would give them siblings who would then do it for me

Spank? Yes

Practice their 6 hit combo for the bar later? No

If my parents merely struck my butt one time instead of whipping with sticks and electric cords and punching us in the face I'd be a much happier person.

People really misrepresent what spanking is or should be

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

I am completely against it, my mom never hit me. She did shout a lot at me though and it had really bad impact on me. We talked recently about it even and she felt bad about it.

just like with the law, you need an ultimate recourse of violence if you want to actually enforce it.

The problem is it isn't an ultimate recourse to some people.

I got hit a few times and it was fine. The problem is that you need to show children that something is wrong before they're old enough to be able to reason why it's wrong. You can sit them down and talk it out but it's not going to register in their minds and they're gonna keep on doing it. Really the only other option is manipulation and psychological games which I'd argue is even worse.

I got hit and it was good for me. Kids don’t listen to reason and even adults need to get smacked every once in a while.

I’d go as far to say a lot of today’s issues are because we stopped doing the latter.
