Would you want other parents to discipline your kids?

I do not like other parents diciplining my kids and definetl not spanking. I dont even spank my own kids very often. I think that if my kids are acting up in their home they should bring it to my atention. I have a sister who is so jealous of my kids that they don't even like gognt to her house. The worse psrt is her daughter is worse than all three of my kids put together.

Thankfully this is an issue I never had to deal with. My children were respectful of others and their property. I did however have other people's children at my home and it wasn't always so easy. Luckily the kids all liked coming to my house, we had horses and lots of other animals with lots of room for the kids to play. So the worst threat I had was they couldn't come over. Worked every time. Being grounded away from my house was worse than a spanking for those kids.

If I am not there to do it myself and I know the Person well then I would expect it of them but I would not let my Kids go to anyones unless I knew them

A stranger better not dare discipline my children. Otherwise they will have to put up with me. Depending what they do, a call to the cops may insue. If I am right there, The other parent can point out what my child is doing. Than I will take proper steps. If the child spends the night. I will give rules to the other parent on how I discipline my child. If they are not followed, I do not go back. Nor am I friends with that person anymore. If I can't trust them with my child,than I sure don't want to be friends with them. Now if my child is doing something that may injure or kill him. Than by all means speak up. Like telling the child no swinging the ball bat in the house..you are going to hit someone or break something. Stay out of the kitchen, While I am cooking. Common sense stuff I am fine with. But actul discipline. I take care of.

i really won't allow if other parents would try to discipline my kid(in the future). That should be a shame to me if i even let my child misbehave at a friends house, this would only show that i am a no good parent for him not to behave.

I do expect that other people will discipline my son when we are in their homes. I would not however allow anyone to spank my son. I don't do it and no one else is permitted to do it either. At my house when children break the rules they get time out just like James does. Maggie

i would not tollerate anyone spanking my son or slaping on the hand or anything that would cause him physical pain. I would prefer a time out. That is what i would do if another child is misbehaving in my home,is put them in timeout until they calm down.. If anyone ever hit my child i would pr9obablly hit them.

I always thanked my friends if they corrected my kids for misbehaving at their house. At my house, I corrected my friends' kids if they misbehaved. None of us had any problems with it. My kids knew they were supposed to behave and they expected to be reprimanded if they didn't. They respected all adults and still do, even though they're adults now themselves.

I don't have children but I have an opinion on this anyway. If I had a kid and the kid was at someone else's house and they were watching the kid and I wasn't there. I feel that they have the right to reprimand him if he is being bad. It is their house and the kid should not have free run of it. I would just tell the parents that if he were to misbehave, what works best to get him to stop. They shouldn't have to put up with nasty behaviour in their house. This could mean that I instruct them to give the kid time out or what not.... Do you really expect the other people to allow your child to act up and just allow it with no way t stop it?

In my own point of view, its ok that other parents reprimand my kids especially if its misbehaving. But the disciple must be done in a correct way, no physical reprimands or anything thats been done physically, cos he/she has no right to discipline my kids physically. Verbally might be ok, but in slow gentle words, so as not to hurt the child.

I believe I should be the only one that should discipline my child. My child should know how to behave in other people's home.

no, definitely not. i wouldn't want other parents or anybody else to discipline my kids - either physically or emotionally. however, i would discipline my child myself without any strict measures like spanking but by good upbringing - he/she wouldn't misbehave in someone else's house. my son behaves like a little gentleman! - hey, am not bragging, that's what everyone says, perhaps watching some other kids. but about other children misbehaving in my home, i have some trouble dealing with them. it's because other parents don't like us saying anything to their children even if they misbehave. moreover, these kids generally carry tales which aren't true - they seldom admit faults, so almost impossible to control them.

If the friend was babysitting my kids, then yes, i'd give her right to discipline them, not by hitting them though! If i was over at her house with my kids, i'd make sure she wouldn't have to discipline them cuz i'd keep an eye on them myself. If she came over with her kids and they'd misbehave and she wouldn't do anything about it, then i'd try and tell her. If she still didn't do anything about it, then i'd interfere and set them straight. Always without hitting though. No child deserves to be hit, no matter what he/she did.

Okay I'm going to go way against the grain here and say that anyone to whom I am entrusting my children's care has a right to discipline them in any way that I would. Now I know I'm going to likely make some people very mad here, but this is my opinion... sometimes a spanking can be healthy for a child. Now I am not saying anyone should be beating their child, but some kids (I should know, I was one) are not affected by time out at all. As a child with an active imagination, time out was nothing more than some quiet time to play in my own mind. However, a good swat on the toosh or hand would get my attention right quick! I think too many parents are afraid of their own children in this day and age... afraid that if they give them a well-deserved spanking the child is going to report them... my thoughts? Go ahead... if you're my child and I swat you... go right ahead and report me... because it is well known that the foster care system is often quite a bit worse than any single swat on the butt. But make sure, child, that you know the consequences of your EVERY action. After all, look at how many older folks there are today that were whooped as a child, and they still turned out okay! Myself included! Thanks for the place to vent... LoL.

If my children were in somebody else's house they better go by their rules after they arre told what they were.

no they don't have the right (i dont have kids anyhow) but parents should do it themselves

children need to be disciplined at the time they are in the wrong. as long as its not to drastic. i have had to discipline kids in my house. I have never had much of a problem with them most of the kids that come over are well behaved.
