Spank Your Children

Spank your children, spank them good.
Spank them as you know a good parent should.
"Wait until your father gets home," is a phrase I'll never forget.
I was spanked as a child and it taught me respect.
Never ever feel guilty for spanking your children.
You're not being cruel, you're enforcing discipline.
When you spank your children they will end up better for it...
.. although many also go on to live their lives awfully traumatic.
The truth is that whenever any parent spanks their children
they do so for only one specific reason
and it has absolutly nothing at all to do with enforcing discipline.
That is simply an excuse for justification.
Parents spank their children not as a disciplinarian pretense.
Parents spank their children because they lose their patience
but cannot admit to that moment of weakness,
because it's easier to spank them and silence their protests.

How can over 900 view a poem yet only 3 comment? Could your poem be related to the reason men like to spank their lovers? Just as they are fond of sucking on cigars? I agree, it is due to a loss of patience. I found another marvellous stress reliever was shouting F**K at the top of my voice. Thankfully neither myself nor my three daughters ever curse now.

You changed horses in the middle of the stream...I will think about this for awhile. Spanking never hurt me..but I was not beaten, and perhaps that is the difference. Spanked with love, if there is such a thing. BG

I dont think they are allowed to spank them now - its not PC - naughty step is seen to be more appropriate - a slap on the tush did me no harm though! Hugs Jan xxx
