Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:

23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.

And the picture of him and his son and the paddle...his son looks well detached (I wonder why)

edited to fix a typo, that was rather funny...

How sad! Do you see how big and thick those things are??!! I couldn't imagine a child being whacked with one of those. I can't believe those appointment slips either, arghhh!

It looks like a paint stirrer. I cannot imagine using one on a teenager.

If we know the general location, this one would be one to call CPS on. . . .. .. Or, bring it to someone's attention, somehow. . .. "red flag" it, like they do the other icky sites. . ..

Quote:
A single swat has more influence than a thousand threats.
Actually, I agree. But a single swat is not necessary. Get off your butt and make your words mean something, rather than threatening a thousand times.


Quote:
If you have a paddle you must be prepared to use it without anger and with respect.
How can paddling be respectful?

*nods* Since we stopped spanking, I've been able to see how--even though I dearly loved my children and was motivated by that love, however misguided--spanking was NEVER respectful.

My father got angry with me when I was 16 years old. Got out the saw and plywood and cut a paddle pretty close to that shape. Then he drilled holes in it, made me sand so I wouldn't get a splinter and proceeded to beat me with it. The entire process was long. He had plenty of time to think and know what he was doing. It hurt me so bad to sit at school the next several days. I was completely black and blue with nice circles from the holes. Told me I needed an attitude ajustment. It was the beginning of my rebellion. It pushed me over the edge. After that, I really felt, what more could they do to me? It's a passive aggressive nightmare. They make you connect love with punishment.

He still will tell you he did it because he loved me. It's so hard for me to grasp this idea even to this day.

Okay, I am crying at the little girl who had no voice or opinion back then. Thank goodness I have a husband that does not believe in spanking. Maybe that's how people did it years ago, but now we know better.

And the boy in the picture....yeah, that's how I would have looked to...."please don't make me stand here with you".

So sad indeed.

I'm totally creeped out by the fact that the paddle says, "Love Joey". Sick.
