Do you spank your kids?

[Jesus Quintana]

One time I came home drunk (16 years old) and my father waited until the next day. I was horribly hung over and he decided to take it up with me.
He slapped my face. I punched him in the chest. End of discussion.
Never tried again afterwards but he's still a bully.

That reminds me of an ex gf of mine. She was 18, I was 20. She told me about the shit her parents pulled with her. One day I was over there and they were on her again, the father chased her upstairs and I heard screaming. I raced up and saw her curled up on the floor and he with his leg back to kick her. I pulled him off by his shirt shoulders and slammed him into the wall. I got 1 inch from his nose and screamed at him NEVER AGAIN I hear you lay a hand on her again and I WILL take you OUT...You should have seem his eyes, the size of saucers.....

Side note: he never really gave me much respect until that point...from then on? Treated me like an equal.....(they were portugese)

I don't have kids of my own so can't truly say what I'd do or not. I know for the longest time I wanted to be the polar opposite of my parents. I still don't wanna ever take it to the extreme ridiculous lengths my parents took, but I do understand the need to spank. If you're gonna have kids, you must instill in them at a very young age the concept of a conscience....fear....fear of you, of God, of the world....whatever you call it. Wish it didn't have to be so. Kids that grow up in relatively fearless environments, grow up to be sociopaths. :dontknow:
