This sounds like my nightmare come true – welcome to Big Brother. No thank you.

*facepalm*

I was hit a few times as a child and boy it must have screwed me up. I’ve only got a blossoming career, a 3.8 GPA in college, and a love for my mother (who hit me)… honestly, people. It’s not abuse but rather a form of punishment; last time I checked, punishment is a necessary part of raising a child.

ETA: Considering I DESPISE children, you’re not making anything difficult for me. YOU have no right to judge or dictate another parent for how they choose to raise their own child.

My mother NEVER struck me out of anger; I was far too headstrong for a timeout and looking back on it, I’m GLAD she knocked me a good one a time or two.

I’d say "Mind your own **** business". Using government force to compel others to follow your misguided views on child rearing disgusts me.

"I am so glad you people are so very annoyed with me; that means that this would work because it would make it so difficult for you all."

Typical nanny-state busybody thinking. Your "ideas" are ridiculous and would never work anywhere (other than in a totalitarian police state).

i say that they are MY children and I will discipline tham how I see fit, within reason. if i dont leave bruises or marks, a swat on the butt every once in awhile is NOT going to do any permanent damage, and i’ll be damned if someone is going to tell me differently. thank you very much.

EDIT: if i wanted the government to raise my children, i would put them in foster care.

EDIT 2: and i totally agree with caroline. my parents spanked me, and most of the time it was with a belt. forget the hand. and my parents are my best friends.

Are you kidding me? If the government actually came up with this these parents would go insane beating up themselves. I agree with everything you said. My wife and I don’t tolerate hitting we don’t believe in hitting and we have our own way in raising our kids and that don’t including hitting. Alot of parents on here use the same EXCUSE that they only spank there child if they do something dangerous. But if you was watching your child then they shouldn’t get the chance to do something harmful so its a big difference.

I don’t smack or hit on my children and they are fine. I see everyday these parents dragging there kids in bathrooms hitting on them and its really sad. They think that will solve the problem when it wont. THEY ARE LAZY! They rather run from the problem and resort to hitting then actually sit down and be a parent.
