  • Do kids at some point or another hit no matter what?

    I've been discussing this with someone on here (momma2mingbu) and she's very against spanking. She says "hitting teaches hitting." I personally don't believe that and I'm very for spanking.

    She mentioned to me some of the alternative punishments she uses like time-outs, taking away privledges, and something called "in service". "In service" is where if one child hurts another child then they have to pretty much be their slave for the rest of the day and get them bandaids and open doors for them etc. I just kind of found it funny that my kids are spanked, and don't hit and her's aren't spanked but beat each other to the point of bleeding and not being able to open a door for themselves.

    Now I'm not saying my kids won't ever hit, I'm sure there will come a day sooner or later. But do you think it doesn't matter if kids are spanked or not--do they hit anyway?
