That is my son's chart he is 2 and very very stubborn, rebellious, and emotional he is almost 3 (Nov. 23) and he tests me more than any toddler I have ever seen and I worked child care for 3 years. Spanking does not work with him he either laughs or gets so mad that he cant even process why he is being punished he will some times retaliate or say to me a week later mommy you don't spank me for doing this and he will recount why he got a spanking or you don't take away that. He never forgets what he sees as a wrong doing. I do hands on the wall with him which is basically he has to put his hands on the wall for 2 minutes without talking or moving he hates is with a passion and the threat of it usually works because he hates sitting still, but sometimes he throws him self around and refuses to do it so I am literally holding his hands there. This is very exhausting for me.He grows very attached to people though and has behavior problems at daycare if a teacher he likes quits. Friday he was in the office 4 times. This is so embarrassing for me because I was far from this as a child we are total opposites I don't feel like I can control my child which terrifies me because he goes to school in 2 years and he is extremely intelligent and I would hate to have to hold him back for behavior.

Any advice for me? Here is my chart I am mostly pretty passive so you can see why the whole thing tears me up. It breaks me to the core to have to fight with him like this.

he is being punished


According to a later post in that thread, which I will happy to re-post (and just might) .... he is being punished because of how emotionally he is and attached to people. He got real attached to a teacher and this pissed mommy off. Mother and father bounce baby back and forth between households and then punish him because he is traumatized with the instability.

Spanking does not work with him


He is being spanked because he won't get his shit together and stop being upset about being a bag tossed back and forth.

hands on the wall ..... so I am literally holding his hands there


And his hands pinned to the wall.

I can only hope that one day her mother, or the child's father will find dxp .... and get the child away from her.



I'll keep posting this from time to time, to make sure all the new people see this.

LadyLibra, I wish you the best of luck with your career, your love life, and your baby boy. I wished the individual(s) that were overly concerned about your son's well-being would've sent you a private message. Or maybe start a thread dedicated to parenting tips, instead of this malicious one that was obviously created to embarrass, threaten, bully, and belittle.

Anyways, I'm putting it out into the universe that you find much success, joy, happiness, and all that gushy stuff. Peace out, lady 🙂

I liked LadyLibra, she lives without fear. You tried to personally jab her and she never ran or lost her cool, had her face up on the boards like yeah i said it, yeah i meant it.

And she left on her own terms to do her own thing. Honestly she had your number P, she made your jabs look like marshmallow. And she let you off the hook. That's a pretty classy way to sign off.

The Attitude era of DXP is well and truly dead. And probably for the best, too.
Awe, let's feel sorry for the child abuser ... poor thing, she has feelings too.


fuck the baby ... let's give her hugs

Libra lady is not going to change her ways because of a post on here. But P angel is not going to post differently because of what people say either. And the attitude era is so not over.

You are not going to get serious parenting advice on here. It's not for that level of issue. And if you think there is child abuse involved posting here is just about as useful or less.

I don't agree with Libralady's parenting style at all. But it's not like I can alter that on here. I think she needs serious help and so does the kid.

I can be the worst key board warrior person. But there you go.

and btw, Tiz, it doesn't matter how she acts to me ....


How ridiculous to have an argument with me, in attempting to make a point of: how she acts around me


because I don't a rats ass how someone acts around me, or to me ... I CARE about the baby being abused



My aim is to keep this visible, in the event someone who actually cares about the baby comes snooping around behind her back .. and will see this to realize that the baby needs to be taken away from her.

I see now that Pisces are vulnerable and impressionable but I just never gave it enough consideration.



My character isn't typical of Pisces in situations such as this .... typically, they would rather blend into the wall then make a stand.

This is more to do with my particular mind being incapable of moving past something that is wrong. Some things cannot be glossed over, and hitting a baby is one of those things. Whereas, you, and others, can move past this kind of infraction ..... my mind cannot.

It's not acceptable.


At any rate, I don't give a rats ass how you look at me now compared to other times ..... whatever gets dick your hard is on you to deal with, not me.

You were the last of us, P. We bet it all on you. It all died with you.

Now we're left with just old users who talk about how they can't move past something they think is wrong, yet they never actually do anything in the real world to address it. They just post about it in the internet.

This can't be life.

My 3yr old is
Cap sun
Sag moon
Virgo rising.

I've been severely abused so this thread of some spankings and wall time is nothing! I do not put my child through what I went too but she does get time out.

So, because you endured being abused, then it's something a baby should easily get over ... in your theory.

Just man-up you little 2 year old and take a punch ... because you were abused, and so that makes it ok.

What a moron.

I'm still having trouble comprehending how spanking is abuse. Maybe it's just an ethnic thing but spanking is not abuse in my eyes. When my parents were growing up they got the wooden spoon and the leather belt, now that can be considered abuse. A little spank here and there and holding a baby's arm against the wall to keep them from not leaving their time out is not abuse... Although communicating with them and taking their toys away would be my style of parenting, I still don't see the other option as abuse.
would hit another person? would you hit your partner? would you hit another person's child? would that be considered assault? would it be considered abusive?

i guess the argument is if you wouldn't hit a adult, why would hitting a child who is smaller and weaker be ok? if it is abuse to hit a fully formed adult who has the capacity to hit you back, why isn't abuse when you hit someone who can't?

Lol well I have been in my fair share of physical fights in middle school and high school but to answer your question, at my age now, 22 - no, I would not hit another person. If they stood out of line, then maybe I would, who knows.

But I don't feel like it's a fair comparison. Hitting an adult and spanking a child. You're not raising that adult, you're not responsible for that adult - but when you have a child you are raising them and responsible for their behavior. I still don't see anything wrong with a little spank, it's not like she's viciously spanking the child with all her force, it's a fricking 2 year old. A little spank on the behind is not abuse.

We live in such a politically correct world right now that everyone wants to scream and holler "abuse" at everything. "OMG, you're giving a cat a bath, that's animal abuse!" "OMG, you called a fat person fat, you are emotionally abusing them!" Some of it is just a joke to me. To say this child is being abused for a little spank is ridiculous when there are children out there who truly get abused.
so the effect of the act changes depending on the intention?

if a husband feels responsible for his wife and their religion permits it, would it be acceptable for him to hit his wife? after all, he sees it that she is a part of him, he is responsible for her and responsible for her behaviour. would you say it is ok for him to hit her with the intention of discipline?

It's a completely different thing. When you're an adult no one is responsible for you but yourself. You do not "discipline" another adult like you would with a child. You're not responsible for the behavior of another adult.
ah, but for that person, from that culture, that is not true. husbands are responsible for their wives, fathers are responsible for their adult daughters. culturally, hitting your wife is permitted in the name of discipline. women are not considered to be fully fledged people and do not have the same rights as men. they are the second, weaker sex.

what you're showing is that spanking a child is acceptable to you and your culture. it's a cultural bias. that doesn't mean it is an absolute truth.

I still feel like spanking a child is not abuse. I think that's a little extreme to label that abuse and to compare that to men hitting their wives. Especially in other cultures where men literally beat the CRAP out of their wives... Comparing that to smacking a child on the butt to discipline them is just extreme in my eyes. It's like comparing weed to heroin. Both mind altering drugs, but weed is not nearly as dangerous and not lethal at all compared to heroin.

Like I said, I personally do not think spanking is a good parenting technique, not because I feel like it's abusive, but because I don't think the child learns anything from it. But if I had a wife who spanked our child I wouldn't be screaming "ABUSE" lol.

my point is, what people determine abuse is dependent on your age, your upbringing, your life experience and your culture.

you can say you feel it is not abuse but equally, people can with equal measure claim it is. in earlier posts i have posted the definition of physical abuse and what the uk's childline considers to be abuse.

is there a right answer? i guess that in 50 years the thought of hitting your child will be considered barbaric.

Because physical language is children's language. They are not on your level, sometimes you gotta get down to theirs in order to get the messege across. Not like they gonna listen to your lame adult logic at all times bc again, they're children.. it's not their frequency.

I don't approve of 'cruel and unusual punishment'... and not all parents know the difference ,I'll level with you there.


"why would hitting a child who is smaller and weaker be ok? "

Bc them being weaker has nothing to do with it. You are not getting into a boxing ring ffs. It's not about physical strenght, it's parenting.

unfortunately a growing number of scientists and researchers believe it to be an ineffective form of parenting and teaching. indeed, it is not their frequency.

"Many studies have shown that physical punishment — including spanking, hitting and other means of causing pain — can lead to increased aggression, antisocial behavior, physical injury and mental health problems for children. Americans’ acceptance of physical punishment has declined since the 1960s, yet surveys show that two-thirds of Americans still approve of parents spanking their kids.

But spanking doesn’t work, says Alan Kazdin, PhD, a Yale University psychology professor and director of the Yale Parenting Center and Child Conduct Clinic. “You cannot punish out these behaviors that you do not want,” says Kazdin, who served as APA president in 2008. “There is no need for corporal punishment based on the research. We are not giving up an effective technique. We are saying this is a horrible thing that does not work.”

http://www.apa.org/monitor/2012/04/spanking.aspx


i also think there are two questions going on here. there is "do i have the right?" and also "is it effective?" i think it's important not to cross the two,

Unfortunately I don't care what Alan Kazdin PhD says because scientist and researchers are dime a dozen these days. You can literally support any side or claim, no matter how wild or ridiculous, by a simple google job. It's lost all its credibility.

The absolutely worst thing a parent can do is read a book on parenting. We got a generation raised by "experts" and child psychologists. Maybe that's the reason behind "increased aggression, amtisocial behavioir, physical injury and mental health problems".

I'll go as far as saying that cultures where parents know how to 'lay hands' on their kids also generally have a closer bond in adulthood, as result. But that's just a wild observational conclusion by enfant terrible PhD. I look around myself in this utopia I live in, and I see parents who have totally lost the physical instinct with their children. They even hug their kids awkwardly ffs.
