Would you allow your ex’s new man to spank your child?

Absolutely not. Huge red flag. Your ex’s new man is not the father and has zero right to put hands on your child. Discipline should be handled by biological parents or agreed methods, never physical. That’s a boundary issue and potentially abusive. Protect your kid first, ego and drama second.

Depends on who has custody of the child. If joint, then you and your ex should agree on discipline... type and who is responsible.

If he has full custody, then your ex gets to determine discipline. You have no say in the matter.

Spanking per se is not a bad thing, she used properly, ensuring that it never causes physical harm

I prefer not to teach my children that violence is a solution.

If someone else did it to my children, I would likely file a police complaint.

Nah, but I am against spanking from anyone.

[Kvass]

I'd never allow anyone to use violence against my child if I had one.

[Alex-Snow]

I would prefer that my ex did the discipline if at all possible. I do not think spanking is always the right thing to do anyway
