OK, rock, but then I thought that you figured it out when he said "Jug cord" or something and I still can't think of a jug that has a cord on it.
I have no idea what it is.....I made a lame joke about Tommy Hall of the 13th Floor Elevators(Dude who played the jug) being his Dad....but I have no clue what an Electric Jug is??......Maybe the nipple lights up??
I was just reading an article about Girls High School Basketball and have decided that some parents are just flat out idiots......in Iowa there was a pretty good H.S. Hoops player named Fonda Dix....who the hell would name their daughter this???
Make the rewards for doing what they're told equal in magnitude to the punishments for not, and you'll do fine.
I disagree. Kids should be punished when they screw up, not rewarded for doing what they're supposed to. If kids grow up thinking they'll get a sucker every time they wipe their ass they're going to have a rude awakening when they have to live in the real world.
That said, I will reward my kids for things like good grades, but it's never expected or used as a carrot. They're expected to do excellent or they face my wrath.
My kids are exceptionally well-behaved and compassionate so I think I've taken the right route as a parent.

[reactionary strutter]ZOMG!!!!11!! U JUST SAID U BEAT UR KIDS!!!11!![/reactionary strutter]
My mom used to spank me with a cord, shoe, spoon, or whatever...but she stopped when I reached like age 12 i think. The last smack I ever got was probably when i was in grade 7. During that year, a teacher that liked me called her in for a conference and told her to stop letting me hang out with certain friends. Teacher said that those kids would never amount to shit and they would keep me down if i kept being friends with them.
After that meeting, they could never come over and I was not allowed to go over to their place. We still chilled when i would just go without letting her know were i was going.
I don't really know what but after that I never caught a beat down and I honestly never deserved one after that.
My moms got really cool with us, she let me grow up and watched with patience. During high school, she got called a few times when I was ditching and when I was asked about it, I had not choice but to tell her the truth. "I ditched to smoke a joint with angelica, shes cute mom." Mom would say "Ok, but you can't keep doing that. Make sure you go to class tomorrow. You know better than that." My mom ended up being the cool mom that would let us drink a few beers in the backyard on weekends and wouldn't bitch me out for missing a class. The thing is that now, I NEVER smoke and RARELY drink. And we're so much cooler now.
Now, when she's nagging me about something I tell her the truth - "STOP NAGGING ME MOM." she says, whatever I'm a your mother and I love nagging you so get over it. Shes pretty cool and has never wanted to spank my son when she watches him.
this is pretty much exactly how my mom turned out as well. Once I got older she found out I smoked weed and told me "if you're gonna do that then do it in the house where you won't get caught"
Dude. Was that randomly around or did your family raise horses?
hahah, no I was getting bigger than my mom and the hand on the butt just made me laugh. She had a friend that had a riding crop and she borrowed it. lol.

I remember when I was a kid and my grandma would try to give me a spanking but she was just a little old lady and it didn't hurt, and I would pretend to cry because I didn't want her to feel bad for being a pussy.
'Bathroom whupping' divides races White woman claims she was fired for reporting spanking wins $200K
March 10, 2009

Fewer topics are as culturally divisive as spankings. If you are black, you probably call the act of disciplining a child with corporal punishment "a whupping."
While all blacks don't beat their children, and all whites don't view spankings as abuse, we do seem to be divided. Cathleen Schandelmeier-Bartels says her boss told her "It's a black thing." (Keith Hale/Sun-Times)
When the race of the person observing the spanking is white and the child getting whipped is black, it becomes even more complicated.
For instance, a federal court jury recently awarded a white woman $200,000 in a discrimination case that involved "a bathroom whupping" of a 6-year-old African-American child.
In 2006, Cathleen Schandelmeier-Bartels was working as a cultural program coordinator at the South Shore Cultural Center, a Chicago Park District facility. Schandelmeier-Bartels alleged in the lawsuit that she was fired because she reported to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Service and the police that the 6-year-old's aunt beat him in the park district bathroom.
A federal jury agreed.
"I feel sad that the public has to pay for someone's mistake," Schandelmeier-Bartels said during a telephone interview.
Schandelmeier-Bartels claimed that after she complained, an African-American program coordinator told her "It's a black thing: We beat our children."
Later, when she took the matter to Andrea Adams, her supervisor, she was again told: "This is how we discipline our children in our culture."
She now feels vindicated.
"In my mind, this is the primary message: It is not a cultural prerogative to beat our children," Schandelmeier-Bartels said in a message she sent posted on her Facebook page. No hitting 'no matter what,' she says
The Chicago Park District maintains that Schandelmeier-Bartels was not discriminated against. "Our position is that [she] was fired for lack of administrative ability to run the summer camp," a spokesman said.
The agency has not yet decided whether to appeal the jury verdict, and Schandelmeier-Bartels also has a suit pending in state court.
When it comes to abuse, Schandelmeier-Bartels is probably more sensitive than most. She has worked with the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect, and in 1996, she coordinated a video for the organization that got global attention. "I don't believe in ever spanking or hitting a child no matter what," she told me. "If someone else other than me had been outside that bathroom that day, I doubt that the incident would have been reported."
For those of you who don't know, a "bathroom whupping" usually happens after a child has acted out repeatedly in school or in public. In this case, the 6-year-old boy had gotten five write-ups for bad behavior during the summer program. A phone call was made to his mother, and his aunt picked him up.
The aunt asked Schandelmeier-Bartels "where the bathroom was."
When she returned to where she left the boy and his aunt, Schandelmeier-Bartels said she heard "Whack" "Ow" "Whack" "Ow" "Whack" "Ow" several times, according to the suit. She reported what she considered abuse to the state and the police.
The next day, the boy's aunt complained to Andrea Adams, the supervisor at the cultural center.
Schandelmeier-Bartels said her supervisor "yelled at" her, and told her to get out of her sight.
"Just because you don't beat your child doesn't mean she can't beat hers," Schandelmeier-Bartels said she was told. "Who are you to tell her how to raise her child?"
Obviously, spanking is not a "black thing," although it is perceived as such by many. Despite the ongoing debate, spanking is still viewed as an acceptable way to discipline unruly children by a lot of people.
There also is a difference between physically disciplining a child and abusing one.
Still, I can understand why Schandelmeier-Bartels, who is an advocate against physical discipline, did what she did.
But the Chicago Park District employees involved in this incident were the people who acted irresponsibly.
When a 6-year-old boy misbehaves to the point that he is about to be suspended from a summer program, he could be crying out for help. Unfortunately, Chicago Park District employees may have missed that because they couldn't see beyond Schandelmeier-Bartels' race.

Wow, what quality journalism Soulstrut catnip.
F*ck is wrong with that woman anyway? Did the kid have bruises or broken bones? If not she should have minded her own damn business. She obviously didn't get spanked growing up or she wouldn't be such a nosy bitch.
I get super aggravated when I see 5yr olds with cans of Coke first thing in the morning. Wish I could say something about that to the parent, but you know, it could end in a "Whack" "Ow" "Whack" "Ow" "Whack" "Ow" situation. Not in my favour either.
Comments
I got spanked all the time with the belt as a kid. And hard. I probably deserved it.
I don't plan on spanking my kid I guess, but also I plan on him being perfect all the time and never getting in trouble.
I'm a dreamer, aren't we all?
Maybe an electric teakettle???
I have no idea what it is.....I made a lame joke about Tommy Hall of the 13th Floor Elevators(Dude who played the jug) being his Dad....but I have no clue what an Electric Jug is??......Maybe the nipple lights up??
Nobody spill the beans here. Once you look it up don't tell anybody else what it is.
I disagree. Kids should be punished when they screw up, not rewarded for doing what they're supposed to. If kids grow up thinking they'll get a sucker every time they wipe their ass they're going to have a rude awakening when they have to live in the real world.
