Thou shalt not spare the rod!!!
I had to infiltrate this site ladies to say from the male perspective... My son age 8 is pledging until he's 18 and am out of my wallet, be it mental or physical, and he's got more than enough people onhis ass...He's got myself, his mother, his stepfather, his grandmothers (3), his grandfather, my homies, my brothers in Groove and lastly his teacher..whom has the right to put a foot up his ass if he acts up! We need to get back to the Old school methods of discipline..I don't even hit my son but I have instilled a large amount of respect within him which in turns around and humbles him and keeps him in check. I also do not yell at him like he's some kind of idiot because he's not, future Groovers do not get treated like animals, he's a man in training and he's learning early the responsibilities of being a man first and foremost. No direspect to sisters but alot of youa'll baby these kids and in this day and age you cannot baby them like that...I was always taught to earn my own way and if wanted the respect of a man -I'd better act like one! I beg to the sisters on this thread whomever may read this the young boys that you are rearing (or rear in the future). If no positive male role models are in their lives get them involed in Boy Scouts, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, etc. and get them to enjoy reading books..as hard as it may be get them out of that BET/ MTV syndrome so that they can learn to be productive Black Men and not just the status quo.
But to close yes I believe in spanking and I live by the old addage by Bill Cosby " I brought you in this world, and I'll take you out!"
Peace sistas!
