Spanking your child

I believe that it should be your choice to spank your children. I think that some of the problems with children today is that they don't get enough discipline. Some teenagers in the small town that I live in don't want to go to work. Trying to find a girl to babysit my children is next to impossible. I have had an add in the paper for two weeks now. They would earn 60 dollars a day for two days a week. And I have not gotten one phone call. Back when I was growing up I loved to babysit kids. Now you cna't find a babysitter. Kids are to interested in games and computers and being lazy instead of getting out there and helping people. I think that children today have grown up to think that if their parents hit them then they should call the cops. But I don't think that half of them realize once you call the police their life changes sometimes for the worse. They could be put with foster families that actually abuse them I'm think out there somewhere this might have happened. I spank my children. My children do not have bruises from me spanking them I have never once left a bruise from spanking my children. Children need guidance. and a little bit of discipline. I hear from alot of people in my little town how well behaved my children. I spank my children and they have never been in any trouble in school. They are very well adjusted and have no mental problems. I don't believe that a little swat now and then is going to give them mental problems.

I agree totally. Give them a firm hand once in awhile and let them think a little more than just hollering. All the social services I have seen and read about lately, have almost done more harm than good. The government should keep thier noses out of the family, unless there is abuse.
