Glad to have it
Guess I’ll start it off. I have three kids a daughter that’s 11 and two sons whom are 9 and 3. There is nothing like being a dad. There is nothing harder than being a dad and trying to keep your kids away from the pozz while allowing them to have a normal life.
My first kid is due in October, can I be honorary parent?
You belong in here forsure. One of our ky members has a son due in oct
Exciting. If I’m not mistaken there’s a few more IE buns in the oven as well
What do you guys think of spanking as discipline? (I'm not a father yet, just curious)
Oof, I’m very conflicted on that one. On one hand I remember getting spanked as a kid and there are few times I remember being that scared and upset as a youngin. I also never want to be that mad at my kid that I’d hit them.
So I hope having a stern presence and using a booming tone will be sufficient when it comes to that.
hmm
Yeah, I remember being on the receiving end a few times. Ideally I'd never have to use it? but I think it might have a time and place
but incredibly rare
I wouldn't say never though
Cause it does teach a lesson
Exactly, like that punishment stuck with me. But id want to save it as a last resort
I think alot of compliance can be achieved with how the mother acts
if she's playing along with the "You better listen to your father" thing
Discipline ought to be a team effort, one parent only isn't enough of shaming and directioning
Agreed. My mom and dad had times where they didn’t work together and that’s something I want to stress with my wife when the time comes
Discipline should never involve anger.
Anger by its nature is undisciplined.
