It’s always in a joking manner… but not really? Just like “yeah you gotta pop em once or twice so they’ll know”. Idk shits weird
Nothing wrong with a spanking, unless you ask the pussies raising kids with zero respect these days.
That would get you 6 months to 10 years in jail in germany. its a crime to hit you kids here. righfully so.
Its abuse rightfully so, but hot dam Germany has some serious problems of its own now. Glass houses and stones.
Corporal punishment breeds fear, not respect.
What does is loving, present, interested parents, combined with consistent, logical rules, with consistent consequences.
Spanking will work in the short term, at the cost of significant damage to their adult psyche. It’s insidious, hard to fix later. When the foundations of trust are shattered, everything else following is built of a bed of sand.
That must be why entire generations of people were ruined. Thank god this generation figured it out!
Arguably, a lot were.
And we haven’t gotten it figured out. Accepting that is the first step towards improvement. We’ve simply turned the best method of improving things on the problem. It turned out that many people were thriving despite the beatings, rather than because of them.
We will still make mistakes, but, if we do it right, they will be lesser. The generations following can learn more, fix more, and build higher again.
