Love your blog! I didn't realize you had one til now. on that note... I'm pro-spanking. I wouldn't feel bad. (Although, I'm still unsure about myself having kids cause I'd fear I'd be borderline abusive...that's my own personal issues). And I know you aren't and would never be abusive. So spank when necessary! Consider it negative reinforcement....you wouldn't touch a hot pan with your bare hands twice? Why would you do something that caused you to be spanked by a wooden spoon twice? Hey Girl! Love your blog!

But *surprise* they are different people ;-) What works with one does not work with the other. One kid has never been spanked - the other . . . has. One kid has told me she hates me, the other has not. One kid will stare me down and defy with every fiber of her being. The other will silently apologize and move on to more fun things. You do what you have to do and what you think is right. You and I need to get together and work on that patience and yelling thing - I too am a yeller and I HATE it . . . but it's just part of who I am . . . I've gotten better as they've gotten older, but I still hate it. A little more patience would serve me well in all facets of my life.

My husband has always been so good about sitting the kids down and laying it out nice and neat. You did this. This is the punishment. This is why that punishment. And, so forth. I learned from him the right way. I used to be a yeller, too. OOPS! Your daughter is very beautiful, btw!! Love her eyes!! God bless, Sallie Sometimes spanking is what works.

My oldest is 7, going on 17, and I wave the spoon in the air from time to time. She knows what's coming next when I go for the spoon, but the guilt that follows...yeah, I have it bad and then I doubt my ability as a mom. Oh how I wish it was easier, but you seemed to have handled it well. Better now than later, right?! ~K BTW - great blog! :) Oh the guilt – I totally get it.

The bamboo spoons from Pampered Chef are so. much. better!!! Uuuuhhhhhh, not that I know from personal experience or anything ;-) Good for you for leaving the towels just the way she put them away!!! Some things in my house aren't as spectacular as they could be because I let my kids do it. And them doing a good enough job is much more important that my perfectionist neurosis.

I believe it depends on the situation and child. When my daughters were little there were times a quick and lasting reminder not to do something again was needed (usually things that were physically dangerous to them). Once they were about 3, I realized spanking didn't accomplish the needed behaviorial changes. I have had to come up with more creative ways to disipline. What has really helped around here from the beginning is nipping behaviors when they are little instead of waiting until they are massive issues! Being consistent is a pain in the patootie, but the pay offs are immeasurable! When all else fails....remember.....This too shall pass. :D Spanking – that is a hot button!
