[QUOTE="witzend, post: 35427, member: 99"] That's not "spanking". That's abuse. I was not one to spank the kids, but I know people do. I think that used judiciously it's not any worse than losing your temper and yelling. Not that losing your temper and yelling is [I]good[/I]. I would worry that your son will feel like you abandoned him to be abused. My son tells everyone that I beat him half to death, when in fact I never raised a hand to him, only threatened to. I guess my advice to you wold be to ask dad to allow you to help him find better ways to discipline when the school has concerns. by the way, I feel that the school should deal with their own issues, not put it on parents, but that's another story. Ask if you all can meet to discuss this, and be frank with them about the "spankings". But not behind his back. If he really thinks it's the right thing to do, he shouldn't object to your openly discussing it with all concerned. [/QUOTE]
