hihi. My name is Becky or Rebecca. I have 2 children ages 6 and soon to be 5 and a third on the way. I believe in spanking and so does my husband. He uses mainly the hand as i have been known to use my hand and a plastic black spoon. My oldest no longer gets spankens anymore....unless she needs it wich isn't very often if at all. I just have to give her a look. My youngest on the other hand still needs them.
Hey lauryl, I have a daughter going on 5 and one on the way. I was raised strict and I want to raise a respectful young lady not an out of control monster you see so often these days, just try Wal-mart!

Ive been a mother in one form or another for many years and before that a sitter. A mom to those I sat sometimes. Ive learned a thing or two in all those years for sure, and also witnessed the demise in respectful behavior in children over all those years. Can anyone guess what might be the cause in this increase of out of control disrespectful kids?
I have an idea, I think we all do. Like Lauryl wrote ..I was raised strict and I raised mine the same way.
Hi-
My name is Carolyn, single mom with two children b-9, g-11. I use progressive discipline with the last step a trip over my lap for a hand spanking on the seat of their underpants. It has worked so far, but I am afraid that my daughter will be needing to have her panties pulled down. Her behavior is becoming worse since she started puberty. She is becoming more selfish and her attitude stinks. Do others find that their daughter's behavior changes for the worse when they start puberty?

Hi, I'm Dee, a widowed mom with three daughters, 17, 14 & 12. Like Carolyn, I use progressive discipline. While the need for spanking has generally become less frequent as they've gotten older - my oldest is almost certainly done with spanking - the younger two still go though their streaks. That can be a challenging age!
Hi .. I am a single Mom .. Nancy Burns.. I was married and my husband was the strict one really . Since I have been raising my daughter I have had to step up and watch more, and its just easier for everyone if I am very strict. I tried to be the nice mom but it was aweful for me and my daughter. Emma is just nine and she thrives with the structure. Knowing the rules and what will happen if she does not follow them. Nice meeting everyone.
