    I’ve had a conversation or two that went like that. Weird strangers telling me I should be kicking my kids ass. And they say it in front of my kids too.

      If you’ve got parents around you telling you your kids are floating turds I’d have a good hard look at how you’re parenting. Or hey if everyone around you is insane maybe it’s just everyone is insane…

    Nothing wrong with a spanking, unless you ask the pussies raising kids with zero respect these days.

      Corporal punishment breeds fear, not respect.

      What does is loving, present, interested parents, combined with consistent, logical rules, with consistent consequences.

      Spanking will work in the short term, at the cost of significant damage to their adult psyche. It’s insidious, hard to fix later. When the foundations of trust are shattered, everything else following is built of a bed of sand.

        Its abuse rightfully so, but hot dam Germany has some serious problems of its own now. Glass houses and stones.
