platypus 1900,

"you did that to your father?
and you are so proud of the fact?"

What a strange questions from the poster who trumpets the assaults he carried out on his own children.

Not just a smack, mind you, but repeated caning - and he' proud of it!

Does it ever occur to you that your children are successful "in spite" of the cruelties inflicted upon them?

Does it ever occur to you that people like you resort to physical violence because of shortcomings in your ability to discipline your children in other ways?

How is it, that other children (including my own) manage to grow up into successful well-balanced adults without being serially beaten by their parents?

@poirot

shame on you if you hit your father!
obviously he had a neighbour who was a busy body
well.. the end result is you

1. i am proud of my children and they love and respect me
they are grown ups now and that is what they say
you got a problem with that?
you are precisely the kind i started this thread for

2. repeated caning?
no...only when required
always done in love

3. they would have been successful nevertheless
moot point by dr spocks like yourself

tell the forum how old you are
how many successful children you raised

there is this woman who told me she spanked her 3 kids in loving discipline like we do
and her 3 kids were the ONLY ONES in their cohort who went thru the U and are all successful professional now

i know
i know
you will say her 3 kids would have been successful anyway

raise your kids (if you are married with kids or are you an armchair debater) the way you want and let me raise mine
stop being a nosy neighbour

platypus 1900,

I never hit my father.

"2. repeated caning?
no...only when required
always done in love"

There's something grotesque about a megalomania that sees thrashing dependents (between the ages of 2 and 12) with a cane as something done out of love.

Something done out of a deep-seated feeling of inferiority and lack of control, more likely.

"stop being a nosy neighbour"

Well that's a laugh....you're the one who stumped up here with a megaphone, hollering proudly about your caning habits.

Hi Poirot,

Perhaps you'll make an exception in my case. I would have been caned at the last three schools I went to, including on my last day at Wagga High School, by Mr Smythe. Earlier that year by Fang, the deputy head, Mr Coleman. And looking back, I have to admit that I deserved to be knocked around the room, along with other kids, we did some really stupid and ghastly things, so fair enough.

And obviously, it didn't do me any harm :)

Go for it, Poirot :)

Cheers :)

Joe

"And obviously, it didn't do me any harm :)"

Cough!

That may explain your sadistic streak.

Yeah, I'm supposing that caning 2 year-olds is not acceptable (for instance)...

To me, anyway.

@poirot

have a good day
and ok..no caning for you and your family
