This is a subverse for parents of all ages to converse in the subject of parenting.
Rules:
Rule 1: Be respectful.
Every person on the planet was born to parents. That means that the subject of parenting, by definition encompasses every possible race and creed on the planet. People are bound to have different opinion, and that's fine. People are allowed to disagree with each other's opinions. That's also fine. What is not okay is to be overtly rude or confrontational.
Examples:
"I think that television is terrible for children, and I don't understand parents who think it's acceptable" -Okay
"You're an idiot, and people like you ought to have their children taken away" -Not Okay.
For now, there is only one rule. Be excellent to each other. Parent on.
Please become a moderator.
Like parenting, I have no clue what I'm doing.

Everyone of my generation agrees it did us no harm whatsoever, only good. Kids these days aren't brought up, they're dragged up, and the result is as expected. Little shits everywhere you turn.

the fact i got hit with a wooden spoon when i was a kid i have no issue with what so ever A LAUGHING point for me, and i do find it funny was that mum learned i was too old for it when it broke on my ass.
what turns it into abuse, is that years later she goes to uni, some childless lesbian radfem teachers her spanking is bad, so instead of saying 'sorry i did that trucks' and i would say, sorry for what, i dont have a fucking criminal record do i? your lecturer is a raggedy-ass old cunt' i get 'oh that never happened' which is narcissism and gaslighting (trying to get another person to doubt their own sanity or reality)
as for my oldest younger sister... she was never punished for anything - i got her punisment too. She has grown up into a 38 year old permavirgin ham planet who abuses her own niece. had she been even spanked she would have been less of an out and out fucking cunt, but still a cunt. If i had stood up for myself, and after the first half a dozen or so times shes did that shit i had flat out jumped up and broken her jaw like i should have when we were kids, then maybe i would have ended up doing a bit more serious 'therapy' but at the same time... the truth would have been out from the start, and i wouldnt have had to have dealt with her violence for no shit, 30 years, and she sure as shit wouldnt be abusing our niece... because she would remember the painful broken jaw consequence of fucking with her older brother.
