Oh I got hit all the time by my mum, never by my dad, but sent to my room for not eating his mash potato crap.
Due to my cunning 3 years elder brother and his tricks, he loved nothing better to get me into trouble and he would bashed me and stamp on me to stop me coming at him, until I was 10yo then he got worried and neve took me on again. but still loved to try and get me the blame, my mum would strike while the iron was hot, as she would say. My mum attacked him with a star picket once when he was 18yo.
My other brother is 10 years younger than me. my mum and dad had mellowed much with bringing him up.
My sister is the eldest was fine but would go along with big bro at times.
I think I got the cane nearly every day at one school and so many fights, it was living hell that place from the first day I went to that school. people were like monkeys and apes and full of mental cases. you had to be on guard at all times ready to go not just one but a mob of morons. then I and my elder bro went to Darwin and Katherine and some morons their as well but nothing so bad and then we went to the Gold Coast and Brisbane and no one would pick a fight with you their, people were nice. what a change !

I have never had to hit my Children ever, but I will say that you have to let them know early in life who is who, because they will test you. I believe if they know that you love them dearly and treat them with the respect they deserve and let them grow all is fine sailing. never be harsh with them ever but be firm in a way that will lead them as to lead them strength in themselves.
I remember being asked by my children when they were real young, who is the boss, no one was the boss ! I am your father and that's your mother, that's all they have to understand.
I would smack on the bum if my child tried to run across the road in a flash, as they may do at a young age going shopping and I did not give into the wants of getting them treats in the shops, you start that and it will never stop, if they expect nothing they will not ask.;)

I am all for being back the cane in schools, but not the way that it was dished up to me at all, but if one gets to far out of hand I am all for it.
I was even threatened by one teacher that he was going to take me out into the bush and bash me up, this was said in front of the class. I just thought maybe you will win and maybe you won't, but though to myself he will regret taking me on, and I only thought my dad would go off the rocker, if it was not for that I would of said come on then, lets see how you go. I had more fights than he had hot dinners. looking back I know that I would of wiped the floor with him. I was into Judo from 7yo.

Hahah i enjoyed reading that one... U had the cain at school so u are a generation before me.
Some kids are just naughtier than others. I was evil, i really was. And my olds had to put me back into line the old fashion wog way. loL

I used to get into too many fights at school as well. I dunno but i just wouldn't tolerate any disrespect even if the guy was bigger or older
It panned out but cos everyone eventually knew that if u upset me u would have to be ready to brawl. So everyone was friendly to me
Its funny but cos after school i never got into a fight even though i used to go out every week end

I was smacked - and yes as a parent I have used smacking too. In my 20's I literally took my dad aside and thanked my dad for smacking me as a child when I was younger.

As for being a sin - if it was done as a reaction out of anger - yes I believe it was a sin. If it was done as a response, from a disciplinary heart - not out of anger - then no - I don't believe it is a sin.

There are other methods as well - and I prefer to use other measures if they are suitable for the situation.


Hi Willie. In regards to your post...

God COMMANDED, in His law, that rebellious sons be stoned to death.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 ESV

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

(This was posted just for all you Mullet Heads who swear the Bible is inerrant, and that they follow every word in it.)

I'm curious as to why you believe this is evident that the bible has errors? Do you believe this was written down in error and should never have been penned by Moses, or do you believe that this is an error in translation, or can you please elaborate so i can try and understand? (You know that I believe the bible to be inerrant - so I'm very interested in your views on this). :-)

Is it right or wrong to use spanking to discipline your children? Why/why not? Is it a sin?

Did u get spanked? Do u spank your kids? When and how do u use corporal punishment?

What are some alternative disciplinary techniques?

I did not get spanked as a kid.
I had a son, who up to the age 5 did not notice the problem they were in and needed something to shake them up. They had an anger management problem, which would flair up unexpectedly. A smack with my hand on their backside worked. This was a learning process, as conflict arose, he would not back down or stop until I intervened.
If he had lost it I would take him to his room and stand in the doorway until he calmed down. It was like I had to be a wall around him until he learnt how to build it for himself when he lost it. Over time he learnt no matter what intervention would happen, so it was better he stopped it himself.

I had two daughters, who would respond just with a little encouragement. The contrast was stunning. They thought I was cruel to my son, but they had no clue how dangerous he was if left alone. My son appeared aged 3 with a small concrete rabbit in his hand. Me and my wife were in bed. The rabbit flew, hit me in the head. From then on, if I saw that mood, and anything in his hand, I would intervene and take it away.

I do not know knowing what I know now how I would have dealt with things differently, it was what was necessary. And this highlights a massive problem, each child is different. And if you cannot adjust to their internal emotional needs, it is tough for them.

Me and my wife went on a parent course, and the leaders said, telling your children what to do is the goal, and we just laughed. The armour plated focused kid who is determined they know what needs doing, needs a much more robust approach.

God bless you

Thanks that was interesting... I feel like I was much like your boy as well.
But u didn't finish the story, im curious now to how the boy turned out. Is he an adult now?

My son appeared aged 3 with a small concrete rabbit in his hand. Me and my wife were in bed. The rabbit flew, hit me in the head.

This story sounds hilarious. He should play baseball if he can throw like that, maybe even a pitcher. Im just trying to paint the picture here.

U guys were in bed so its night time. Then he just appears, at the door I presume. The silhouette of a child.
In hand is a small concrete rabbit, must be a toy. It already sounds like a horror film. LoL
Then "the rabbit flew" u say, I can only presume that the boy threw it. And what a fantastic throw it was AHAHAHA

Hit u in the head. LoL... Sorry to have a laugh at your expense...

I just keep thinking of the old horror flick called Childs Play, a doll of a boy, Chucky, becomes possessed and causes havoc

He turned out a very focused mechanical engineer, went to cambridge and works for a consultancy for manufacturing companies. He has worked most recently on the ventilators for hospitals for the government and really wants to use his skills to help others in a significant way.

The rabbit was concrete, a garden ornament, about 3 inches by 2 inches. I knew he was annoyed at something. It was like a switch, he would not know why, it just boiled up in him. It is just normal stuff that makes one irritated, it just went a little too far for him.

He had a phobia about blood and needles, we had to hold him down, 6 people to take blood in hospital for a blood test, him on my lap and one person on each limb, aged 6.
At a later point me and him went to see my mum in hospital and I turned round and he was on the floor. He said he tripped. Turned out later he had fainted. He heard some rushing liquid and thought in his mind it was blood flowing, and just passed out.

Over the years he learnt how to expect this emotional response, and calm it down and respond appropriately to it, himself. Now you would not know he had this problem. And I say this, because the reaction does not go away, the coping mechanism kicks in all the time.

As a student I tried doing a climbing wall. I got 10 ft up and froze, my legs just went to shaking. About 10 years ago my kids got into climbing and I went along. Over this time I had worked out a way of handling vertigo, the feelings and physical issues involved. I prepare my mind and tell myself what it will look like and how I will react. I can then start climbing, a 40 ft wall. I still have the fear but it is constrained and fine.

In Christ nothing is a prison, we can choose how to sculpt our experiences and approach because we are anchored in Him. I am not joking about this, it is the power of salvation and life, the rock upon which the storms will never succeed.

God bless you

Oh yes we had the cane alright, one Principle was a ex WW2 Sergeant and he would walk about at lunch time and grab kids in the upper arm mussel and stick his thumb in that point and say Hut ! he was a great bloke who understood children and had no ill will at all to anyone. the next Principle was a total nut a Socialist and a Nazi type moron, he would cane the kids in the class room and his daughter was in my class and she hated him doing that.
In High school the Principle had no talent for children but was ok, the deputy was a ok but could loose the plot a bit, but their was another clown that was next in line and he was a spastic type of bloke that was not point in talking to him and his wife was a teacher and she came running up to me and punched me in the back, there were some real nasty teachers who were angry shitty types who were always grumbling all the time 24/7 the only time I seen them happy was when they were taking it out on the children. tossing the duster at there head or bashing them, one of my mates copped it by one teacher who I liked, but boy he got Paul and at lunch time Paul had a big red hand mark on his back, Paul was a good kid, just talking was why, you could not talk in class or you got the cane straight away if they found out who it was, who just asked for a rubber or something off another kid. Poor Paul got the cane from the principle and the idiot got him on the wrist and just nicked him on the end of the finger and he said that that did not count.
Poor Paul boy he copped it I do not know why they were like that to him, maybe because his dad was Vietnam Veteran and most teachers were Socialist or Communist, so they really had it out for them back in them days. the ranting and raving of them lot and they hatted ANZAC day, funny that they have turn 180 deg and push that WW2 was fought for the Gays rights and all the Socialist rights ? when our men never fought for such a thing at all, the media has twisted it all and promoted a total lie nowadays. they bagged RSL President Bruce Ruxton on everything that he said always. just in the same manner of cunning tactics as they do with Trump nowadays. that's typical Communist underhanded war tactics games that are at work.

Same with me... I was saying in a thread about anger how i can't seem to change my initial feeling towards something but that iv managed to learn to control my response. I know myself that if I act out of anger only bad things come from it. I even told my family this so that if any of us gets angry during a conversation one of us will hopefully have the sense to disengage and maybe continue the discussion the next day when every one has calmed down

Some of the things people were saying and writing were not only terrible but false. People were painting James Cook as an evil racist who killed natives which is incorrect. Compared to the navigators before him Captain Cook was a good guy

I didn't get spanked because I was a perfect child (tongue in cheek).

I think it all depends on the child. Some need it some don't. My son has 12 children and he only spanks them for one thing and that is if they lie.

If the kids are doing something together and one of them does something they should not do, he makes them leave the group and come and sit by him. They hate that, watching the other kids play and being left out of the fun.

I remember when I started school in the 1st grade in 1948 [no kindergarten in that school then] the teacher told us what the rules of behavior in the classroom were. For talking without permission she would hit us on the back of the hand with a wooden ruler. I only received it once. Once we got the idea it was mostly a quiet well behaved group. For more serious problem children or where the teacher did not want to apply discipline themselves the child would be sent to the office of the principal of the school. He had a leather strap like what barbers would use to sharpen their razors. That would be applied to the posterior of an offending child. It was an uncommon thing for a child to be sent to the principal.
Lol, I got the ruller almost daily, but it was across the wrist. And the principal's office atleast 10 time a year. And also when home.
It was kinda like a cycle.

I think smacking a child is ok as long as it isn't a regular thing but only used as a last resort or in certain circumstances. And as long as it is beating. Other ways to punish are using the 'naughty step'; withholding privileges and/or spending money; giving chores; etc. depending on the age and severity of the 'crime'. My dad used to slap me across the head if I was cheeky at the table but I loved him. I don't think where it says in the bible, 'spare the rod and spoil the child' is a literal 'rod' but means firm discipline.

Well I was smacked by hand when I was a kid, Hehe, I used to run into the toilet, lock the door and hide from my parents hahaha, but it probably did teach me right and wrong, and probably did play a part in the man I am today. :D

And I'm aware that the book of Proverbs also teaches discipline.

Back then it was with a rod ouch!!

Prov 13:24: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him often."

Prov 19:18: "Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying."

Prov 22:15: "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."

Prov 23:13-14: "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell (i.e. death)."

Prov 29:15: "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."

Maybe someone needs to come up with an invention that can inflict corporal punishment on the internet.

Post something inappropriate on social media? The moderators could give you an electrical shock from your cellphone! Third offense, your cellphone blows up.

...or an electrical contact on your mouse button! :confused:

Great idea! Give moderators some real clout.

I wish someone would invent phones that explode. Either person could press a button and the phone on other end would explode. Can you imagine how polite people would be on the phone if they knew the other person could make their phones explode? Maybe your idea of an electrical shock would be enough. It would also help solve the problem of those annoying telemarketeers.

Oh wow these are some wonderful ideas. :D

Oh wow, nice one... I think by rod they mean something like a caine

I love hearing about how it was before i was born. My parents and their friends have some really good ones. It was even stricter in Portugal were my parents were from which was run by a fascist dictator until the 70s.

Australia is a multicultural nation but it always had a strong identity. It's funny cos if im asked my nationality in Australia i say Portuguese cos I know the question is really what my background is. But if im in Portugal or anywhere else in the world i say im an Aussie.

ANZAC day has been hijacked as well as Australia day which is very sad. There was a celebration just recently for the 250th anniversary of the landing of Captain Cook in Australia.

I agree with you on that, they are insane peddling such nonsense, but if anyone stands up to them you are in for a hell of a hard time, if you want to stand up for the Truth or for your forefathers. mine were on the Land and I know the truth because I listened to them all right from the horses mouth and my school teachers were dribbling nobody's only enforcing the government spin and I cached them out on such as well. they did not know or truly care what they were saying and nothing has changed today in that way.

My Mum is Danish, but Dad is 3rd gen born Australian and I could not care less of claiming Denmark as I do not go about waving the Danish flag or anything like that, my Mum is proud to be an Australian more so so than Danish but has some Danish traits that she says is better than the average Australian and is proud of that.

I was brought up in an era where all Australians said regardless wether their forefathers came from England, that all Pommy's are bastards. I heard this all the time in pubs you name it. mainly in affection but also in never to trust such a one with money like inheritance esp and to how we were treated in WW1 and WW2 wars. them old digger Aussies really hated them for that and their attitude to Aussies in the war, so they would not salute them, because the high rank were stuck up toffs who claimed to be better than everyone else. the average pom would be fine with such treatment but that was rubbing an Aussie up the wrong way. that's not to say that Aussies were against the Poms, but just that their was friction with such, as was friction their as well with the Yanks.
But as to Aussie diggers they were on simmer all the time as to the poms, so the pomes had to walk the fine line on such subjects or the simmer would snap to being on the boil.

Fact is that the UK was by far the greatest thing that could of ever happened to Australia and no one could deny that reality. not to mention that anyone who rejects that is a total fool.

What has been done to the millennial's is much the same tec that Hitler did with the youth in his day, in fact he boast about such that he would do. it's just Socialism 101 the same tec was used in all Communist Nations as well, but our schooling system never bothered to educate us on that subject. so what our diggers fought for is now in vain, they are turning in their graves.
Once a Socialist Government gets it's way by dangling the carrot, then it turns into it's real self and you will see the real side of such, only it will be to late. Political Correctness has people becoming totally controlled in fear of looking side ways. tabs are kept on everyone. big bro want's to know everything that you do.
Not to mention that down the track the Law is changed, to you becoming guilty until proven innocent. they have been hard at work in creating a criminal yobbo youth that has been let loose on drugs running amok, so they work to create the problems and then they can worm their way into getting power, so as to sort the problem out and look like the good one saving you. but they have in fact only enslaved you, to be sure they are just like wolfs.

I was brought up in an era where all Australians said regardless wether their forefathers came from England, that all Pommy's are bastards. I heard this all the time in pubs you name it. mainly in affection but also in never to trust such a one with money like inheritance esp and to how we were treated in WW1 and WW2 wars. them old digger Aussies really hated them for that and their attitude to Aussies in the war, so they would not salute them, because the high rank were stuck up toffs who claimed to be better than everyone else. the average pom would be fine with such treatment but that was rubbing an Aussie up the wrong way. that's not to say that Aussies were against the Poms, but just that their was friction with such, as was friction their as well with the Yanks.
But as to Aussie diggers they were on simmer all the time as to the poms, so the pomes had to walk the fine line on such subjects or the simmer would snap to being on the boil.

WoW I didn't know this.
So our rivalry with the poms goes much deeper than the Ashes cricket tests.
Just trying to imagine it, i can see the poms being stuck up towards the Aussies from the start.
The stigma of "convicts" took centuries to wear off. Ive known quite a few poms and rarely did i hear em say that.

One time me and a few mates were having a drink at a bar and our pomy mate called us convicts
So my mate said "and you decided to come here off your own accord and socialize with convicts" hahahah then we proceeded to remind him how boring England is with their weather and pale skin and how crap their sports teams. LoL. We piled it on him. All tongue and cheek but they have good sense of humor the poms

What has been done to the millennial's is much the same tec that Hitler did with the youth in his day, in fact he boast about such that he would do. it's just Socialism 101 the same tec was used in all Communist Nations as well, but our schooling system never bothered to educate us on that subject. so what our diggers fought for is now in vain, they are turning in their graves.

Its so sad. I was talking to a millennial once and criticizing their generation and he ripped out the best argument i've heard.
He said its your fault. I said what do u mean, I'm gen x. He said well its gen x and boomers that taught us in the first place, parents and teachers.
And he is 100% right, not me personally but the leaders of our era, especially the conservative ones. Why, for example, is the national broadcaster a left wing propaganda channel, and why are all our teachers hippies like typical socialists that love working for the state... Conservatives are known for being too quite

And what did they do to the family unit. Destroyed in a matter of a few decades

Is it right or wrong to use spanking to discipline your children? Why/why not? Is it a sin?

Did u get spanked? Do u spank your kids? When and how do u use corporal punishment?

What are some alternative disciplinary techniques?
I suppose you could always use a 4x2 plank with nails in it!
