Yes! Because that always works!

It would work if you knew how to raise you kids in a rational environment. [/quote]
How many kids have you raised?

Were you jerking off in a car with kids in it? Sounds like a rational environment for a pedophile.

I was beat as a child. Like pinned down, grabbed by the ears, head banged on the ground until I couldn’t see. Thumped on the head with a big metal college ring so it looked like I was hit with a hammer. I was also whipped fairly often, many times with the buckle end of the belt. I don’t know if I turned out alright or not.

That said, I don’t really have anything against swatting a little kid on the butt to get his attention. Once they are able to reason a little bit, it seems like a lazy way to parent to me. I raised my 20 year old step daughter from the age of four, and my 15 year old from birth and never did more than pop them on the butt to let them know I was serious. Most of those times were when they were doing something that could hurt themselves or someone else.

I also taught for four years. I also worked at a a halfway house for kids convicted of molesting other kids. I also worked for Child Protective Services. I kind of believe some kids are “born bad.” I don’t think that can be beat out of a kid, but I don’t really know how to fix them either.[/quote]

You might not know if you turned out alright but from this post it sure as hell looks like you did. [/quote]

Agreed, glad you didn’t let this post slip by.

I think the question was posed to belligerent. My world just came crashing down if you are the same posters.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say zero, lol. Only people without kids are that confident.

lol, no. I thought the question was for the peanut gallery, not any one in particular.
