You don't beat 2 year olds...if your parents beat you at 2 then shame on
them....


I'm not stating the old "Rule of Thumb" nor the "Balled Fist" here.... a
smack on the butt gets attention right away.

So... Kitty... tell us about the first time you were spanked! ;-)

CM-


Can't remember...was most likely my mother with a hairbrush or ping pong
paddle (remember those with the little rubber ball that always flew
off?) My Dad didn't believe father's should spank daughters unless it
was of the utmost gravity....my brother got the belt all the time (he
deserved it)...Funny thing is that my brother never raised a hand to his
own son, who just graduated from high school with a 4.0 average and is
an Eagle Scout....physical punishment works with some and it doesn't
work for others...in some it is a great disruptor of bad behavior, in
others it just instills rebellion....you have to be a careful parent and
know what you're doing and how far you can go....
