I was spanked and I'm fine.
I remember a time when my mother pulled down my pants in the street and beat my bare arse.
And I had an elderly kindergarten teacher when I was 3 who used a wooden ruler on the kids.
^ So was I. Only twice, I grant you. My emotional damage comes from emotional and sexual abuse.
Voted : None of the above.
a guess.
Doesn't weaken the statement at all. At the time that lot were born, everyone was spanked. In them days it was with canes, leather belts an' all sorts of shit. :o)
^ Yep, it was the norm and was socially acceptable then.
I can also name people I personally know who were not spanked that turned out to be total assholes. The five year old of a friend of my husbands who called me a bitch last year and the friend of my nephews who's got a small police rap sheet at the age of 17, to name a couple.
It's not the spanking/lack of spanking that causes problems. There's other issues to be taken into account too. Any non-biased psychologist will tell you that.
A five year old calling someone a bitch isn't an asshole. They just don't know better.
They didn't know better because their parent's didn't bother to teach them better. Cussing is a learned behaviour.
