I don't like it [I Hate Getting Swats From A Paddle]

She's always spanked and even uses a brush but she got the paddle a few weeks ago and its not fair. I don't think I'm complaining or anything. I thought she would stop spanking this summer but instead she gets a paddle. Why?!

Have you asked her?

Probably feels you're too old to put over her knee. Now doing it the way schools do

Maybe she thinks you need something more severe than the brush.

@Crazychick That would make a lot of sense.

@Fishing65 A question of impact perhaps?

I hate that I have to have this argument still.

the way I see it the science is settled so there's no room for debate, spanking is child abuse.

look up The Science on Why Spanking Kids is Wrong by rebecca watson- I'd link but my account is limited.

@nickir no one was intent on coming to any conclusion. you're paranoid.[b] And if there HAS been a rise in bullying it's BECAUSE parents keep spanking.[/b]

@BetweenKittensandRiots Once again making MY point instead of yours. The increase in bullying coincides with LESS application of the paddle, not more. That's what we call causal. You DON'T get an increase in the behavior you're attributing to a particular cause when that cause is ameliorated unless that's a PC "solution" that of course doesn't work. The increase in bad behavior in general & bullying in particular should have gone down by 5/6ths since spanking has only 1/6th the occurrence now. However, bullying & bad behavior (especially bullying) are now combatted by clever lol Communist-style slogans (Be a buddy, not a bully) rather than consequences. So if these "scientists" were right, we wouldn't even need slogans because bullying would be a thing of the past, not logarithmically worse.
