this is ridiculous how people think every little thing is abuse. this is why a lot of parents lose control of their kids…because no discipline is being done. if people would stop worrying about celebrities and there kids and actually look at children who are really being abused and neglected.

And where exactly is Leah supposed to play with a whistle if not outside? I was always taught that outside was for playing with things like whistles so the parents could do inside things like talk on the phone. And she just as easily could have taken the whistle away, instead of spanking her. If Kate was devoting her attention to the children instead of to the phone her parenting skills and common sense might kick in.

I must admit, I had absolutely no clue who/what jon and kate plus 8 were until this last october when I was in the hospital and had limited tv channel choices. Needless to say, I watched a few episodes. I am just wondering why she flipped over a whistle, but in so many episodes let the kids beat each other, mouth off and just be awful to each other and did nothing to correct the situation.

I agree Kate is a very unhappy miserable person and I don’t buy any of her poor me interview antics. I can’t believe the woman at the View buy her B.S.

So what? I don’t necissarily agree with spanking but parents do that all the time, I don’t see how it is so different now that Kate is doing it.

Those kids are such unbearable brats, but it’s a known fact that when you beat and abuse your kids they are difficult and never does it help only makes them worse. So them being such brats is a perfect form of proof that she’s abusing them in some way. But again, they’re so annoying I’ve wanted to hit them myself, and keep in mind I’ve raised 2 children and never once spanked them, and well neither are brats.

There is nothing wrong with a swat now and then. Of course beating is wrong but so is acting like the only way to react to your child is to reason with and talk to them in a really annoying high pitched sing-song sugar coated voice, You may have all the parenting skills in the world and have self control and still find yourself in a situation where a swat is in order.

Bottom line (No pun intended)

If an adult hitting a child is such a viable and fabulous form of discipline, why hide it away?

You choose to do it, you should be proud of yourself and not afraid to showcase your parenting skills to everyone.

Isn’t that right?

I don’t have any problem parenting my children in front of others. I’m not ashamed.

Why are the spankers usually HIDING??

okay. im 14 and i have 5 other siblings. 2 at my dads 3 at my moms. My stepdad used to abuse us. i live at my moms so theres four kids. elijah is 4, taylor is 11 and dennon is 13. i am fourteen. yeah, i bet my mom and stepdad got frustrated with us. But spanking? seriously? i’d rather be grounded for a year. Spanking your kids just makes them afraid of you. My little brother elijah is terrified of his father; my stepdad. Before Elijah was born he used “the stick ” on us. Everytime my stepdad comes around Elijah gets scared and it breaks my heart. He doesnt touch me anymore because i learned not to show fear of what he was doing to us. I would hide my fear during the day & cry myself to sleep at night, it hurt. What Kate did was stupid and not right.
