SAH/WOH - Why?
| Mon, 02-20-2006 - 7:41am |
I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.
Why did you decide to sah/woh?
Was it a choice or something expected of you?
Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

That low of temp is pretty unusual, though, isn't it?
If you didn't think it was in some sense good for him you wouldn't do it, would you? You must be convinced it's going to help him somehow in a way that can't be done in any other way, no?
Spanking is no sin; it's just something that happens sometimes. But I don't think it's wise, either.
Now, that child who isn't yours... if he behaves in a way that needs to be handled by spanking, why does that make him so unruly as to be unwelcome at your house? Don't those things go on with all kids at one time or another? Same as with yours?
And what if you had this other kid for several days, say, as a favor. No spanking under any circumstances?

My 3.5 year old DS is as big and physically able as any child his age, but has the cognitive ability and appreciation of danger about equal to that of his 15 month sister. If left for a second he would bolt into traffic, as would she. I shop with both of them all the time, and neither has ever come close to running away. You do what you need to do. It's all a matter of mindset.
"Spanking is no sin; it's just something that happens sometimes. But I don't think it's wise, either."
Agreed.
