Most of the complaints about spanking come from kids and teenagers who have never had children,or parents who have enough money to spoil the fuck outta their kids with toys and sweets to keep them from complaining.I guarantee you the girls on that show "sweet 16" were never spanked.It's easy to call spanking "abuse" when you have never had kids or have enough money to buy them the world,it's a little harder when you're raising a child in a generation of selfishness and self entitlement.I know that a lot of users on here SAY that they're very respectful even though they've never been spanked,but all I know is in REAL life kids who have been spanked are more respectful then kids whose parents use "alternative" parenting methods.
