In this news, there are three mother who admit to spanking their children. One of mom tells that here is big difference between how she disciplines her daughters and the YouTube video of the Texas judge beating his 15-year-old daughter.
All three moms spank to discipline. They says "it was okay for us to hit our doughtier, but it's not okay for our husband to hit them. Or do you expect them to grow up and think, sometimes I deserve it...sometimes I should be hit, sometimes I behaved wrong?
Do you agree with them?
I agree.
When you were child, did your parents spank you? My parents did it all the time when I did bad things or rude things. Before they spanked too much, so when they raised hands, I always Guarded. After that, they noticed how feel I am, and they stoped it. Now I gratitude them. Because I listen them every time which Was rode. And I could know the common sence.
