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?

I brought this up in a earlier post. Someone said that a paddle on the behind was an effective deterrent for a young child running away in a parking lot because they do not yet have the capability to understand the connection between other forms of discipline and their misdeed.
I pointed out that in order for spanking to work they had to be able to form that connection. I run away in the parking lot I get spanked, I don't run away, I don't get spanked. If they can make that connection then they can also make others. I hold onto Mommy's hand I can walk by myself, I don't hold onto Mommy's hand I go in the stroller.
Or in this example. If a child can figure out. I touch the tank, I get spanked, I don't touch the tank I don't get spanked. They can also figure out, I touch the tank I get taken away from the tank, I don't touch the tank I can contiue to look at it.

You're right that not all non-spankers should be lumped in here. However, way more than *one* poster has implied a value judgement on those that do spank.
And I'm not the only one that has employed "crap debate" methods here.
BTW, I'm not *pissed* off. I just really don't like to see things going from "I think spanking is wrong" to "spanking is physical abuse and akin to murder". THAT is crap debate methods and you know it.

that's bull. What you said was, "It's been quite obvious here that non-spankers think...." Didn't even ATTEMPT to suggest this was not a universal belief of all non-spankers.
And you're going to have to quote the "way more than one" posters who have called spankers "trash" or otherwise inplied they are low-class. It simply didn't happen, Hollie, and it's crap to defend your own broad brushstrokes by pretending it did.

Ah...rarely if ever go to WalMart and you are right, the parking lots do seem to be quite crowded there when driving by.
