Im joining this kinda late but what the hell....I have to laugh as I read this. I have read posts on this thread calling spanking everything from innapropriate to physical assult to destructive violence. Oh come on!!! Mr Mopery opened this thread with the understanding that we were NOT discussing beatings. A nice firm slap on the ass is in some circumstanses is EXACTLY what a child needs for you to get his attention. My son is now six, I think I have slapped his butt twice in his life, but he sure knows that when daddy speaks that daddy means what he says! I for one was raised in a "children are to be seen and not heard" type family. I am not like that whatsoever but I WILL NOT be ignored, talked back to, or let my son show any disrespect to an adult (especially me or his mother). My son is a well adjusted, friendly little boy that ppl just love to be around. Unlike kids whos parents have never raised a hand or a voice to them and they run the house, are rude, and have no respect for anything. IMO kids need authority in their lives and yes possibly a smack or two to get their attention when needed.
