Use an emoji in a text to them. My 14 year old had a right go at me.

Sad thing is nowadays you can’t whoop your kids ads because someone would report you to child services. They need ass whoopings because they’re so bad today.

As someone who’s been through child services and taken a lot of parenting classes, I have learned that a whooping is very good at 2 things. Building distrust with your and reinforcing violence as a way settling a situation.
Been about 2 years since my kids have a gotten a whooping, been about 2 years since I last took a drink. They’re much better behaved kids, with loads more empathy and truthfulness then they were before. I think it’s a mixture of better parenting because I’m not always drunk and the fact they don’t have to fear a spanking.

I respectfully disagree that they are “bad today”. I don’t think kids are bad, or at least not born bad. Environment, parenting, etc to name a few reasons. Especially kids with special needs; how is spanking a solution if their brains are wired differently? I agree with @CaptAZ about reinforcing violence. I also think it can potentially induce fear. Especially if they have anxiety. I was spanked. Did it help me follow the rules? Sometimes. But it made my anxiety a million times worse. If it’s not ok for me to hit my spouse or my pet for misbehaving, why is it ok for me to hit my kid, who’s a KID and learning to self regulate. I think personally there are better ways to modify behaviour.

One time I was getting punished and my sister knew she was next; she went and put like 3 pair of pants on! I was crying and she was smirking at me showing me, lol… Sucky times back then for sure.
