Spanking is sick, no matter what. We teach kids NOT to hit... and then it's okay for parents to hit? Yea, like that makes sense! I don't believe in "hitting" to teach lessons. So I have to say being grounded is better. It gives you time to yourself anyway, which is never a bad thing.
@AlineHoks it's just something he learned from his own father y'know? I think now that we've advanced in human psychology and studied behaviors more we can move away from that. His father made them go out and pick a "switch" from the bushes. And if it was too small he'd get the biggest one and beat them with that.
I never got really either. I should have gotten spanked with the way I was as a kid. The worst thing was when they said they were " disappointed" that was worse than being grounded or being spanked.. in my opinion
When I did get in trouble I got both, spanked and grounded. My mom did the spanking then when my dad came home he grounded me. It was always for a month.
I also wouldn't take away their games or whatever tech, for me at least it made those things more important than they were really ever worth and I feel I missed out on other things because of that sort of fear of losing something I thought I had to care so much about. I don't know thats from my experience though.
I've also seen parents who are just very stern. They connect well enough that their kid kinda just matures faster and understands like a guilt and reasoning better for what they did. Its a deeper sort of thing. But I imagine it doesn't work for all kids. Realistically you kind of have to base your punishments differently for each kid individually. To help them properly. Sorry, not knockin your way at all, it can work for sure. I just dont like to take from books or the typical approach I see around me to anything. I like to try for better. I take from psychology, science, experience and faith. And I've dealt with autistic kids for a long time. Its tricky but there's so many ways to teach, inspire and learn from the other as well. I'd want to explore these methods first. Adjust as life goes on if needed.

I'd rather just get a quick spanking than not being able to have fun for a few weeks.
I agree

Let’s put it down to what a spanking actually is, it’s an adult beating a child.
so yeah I would get beaten and grounded.
there was not really an option, if you got grounded, then it was explained via a beaten.
if it was a beaten, then you got grounded.
Spanking = hitting = beating.
I didn't get beat. Maybe you did but not I. I got popped. Hit on the forearm/hand, or the butt
I was never grounded but I was spanked a lot. However it did cause me to fear rather than love my father when I was a child. Not a good situation.
I am so sorry you had to go through that

I was spanked by my parents on my butt only a few times when I was little. I'd rather have the grounded which is what I get now I'm older.
But spankings are so quick
Yeah but they can hurt too
i think the older you get, the more you appreciate spanks lol
I never got really either. I should have gotten spanked with the way I was as a kid. The worst thing was when they said they were " disappointed" that was worse than being grounded or being spanked.. in my opinion
Oh wow. That word woudnt have effected me at all lmao
Trust me... it was the worst feeling
I only ever got spanked when I was really young. After I was maybe 7 or 8 it was always grounding.
I hated it so much more.
Nowadays I dish out the spankings (even though I don’t have kids, if you catch my drift).
Lmao yuuup
Goddamn you find the hottest gifs
Haha
I wish I had seen that movie as a kid.
Lol I don't know if thats even a movie. Just random google gifs. Prob a porno 😂
Yeah you’re right but the black and white gives it a cinematic quality. But now I’m horny at work lmao
Lol i just got off work. I wasn't horny but im gonna go watch porn in place of you since you’re unable to 😂
Thanks I appreciate it lol. I haven’t honestly watched porn in like three weeks
I just want to get it over with, when I screwed up as a kid got spanked never ever did that thing again that's for sure
Same
When I did get in trouble I got both, spanked and grounded. My mom did the spanking then when my dad came home he grounded me. It was always for a month.
Yea But i meant if you had a choice
Well since my mom used the big wooden spoon that was hanging on the wall I'd pick being grounded
Omg i hated spoons and switches.
My brother and sister got the switches. I was 9 years younger than my sister. My brother was a year older than my sister
I don't know. I was always grounded cause my mom didn’t believe in spanking and my dad was never around.
same here...
I'll take the spanking. Once it was done I was free to go about my business and probably earn another spanking.
Exactly haha
If I got spanked I'd get grounded too.
No electronics in my room.
GIJoe action figures and books.
But which would you prefer
Prefer grounded.
But if I got spanked I'd be grounded too.
Neither, corporal punishment is bad parenting, it's better to teach kids to think, that way they don't want to do foolish things in the first place.
Punishment gets you nothing, it's an easy fix for bad parents.
I got worse than a both of those. If I acted out I got slapped, hit with a slipper, or hit with a belt and one time a hose.
Thats messed up. But if you could choose one on the poll, which?
spanked honestly. cause that at least is over fast xD
Ikr haha
Either is better than emotional terrorism I sent through.
Damn im sorry you went through that
I used to get both, and I'd take the grounding. My mother hit like a fuckin train.
Damn :(
grounded.. they didn't just spank they punched, beaten, choked
Thats horrible :(
@DizzyDesii they had no self control
Spankings please! Timeouts and punishments were never a fun time or anything but sitting still and crying. I believe in better ways of parenting.
Haha ikr
I also wouldn't take away their games or whatever tech, for me at least it made those things more important than they were really ever worth and I feel I missed out on other things because of that sort of fear of losing something I thought I had to care so much about. I don't know thats from my experience though.
Its best to take away the games because thats one of their main interests as a kid. If they keep it, they won't feel punished
