unfair Canada Laws Options

[dannyt]

When I lived in Canada it was illegal for me to administer corporal punishment
to my stepson Rory because he was over the age of 12. So when his brother Daniel
was spanked when they both got caught stealing I was angry with the state.
I was also unable to use a paddle or any other implement. I had to use my hand
which isnt really suitable on a boy of 11. What a joke. I'm so glad that we no
longer live there. And at 14 boys can legally have sex. What is the World coming
to?

I think at 12, the boy is a little too old for spanking. It's time to use big boy words.

Lol. Not True. I still get ownd every so often by my mom.

And personally, I don't think I'll ever see my child as too old to be reprimanded. I'm convinced that good old fashioned ass whoopage will be a forever type of thing for them.

I'm totally prepared to beat the living shit out of my 16 year old child if they see fit to be high school alcoholic (and by that, I mean even one freakin sip >>;;;).

It's effective. If I look back on how I was raised, sure I got ownd, by I never saw it as abuse or anything even close to that. I knew I was getting ownd because I did something wrong -- which is completely irrelevant to age. 13-16 was the time I got ownd the most for having a foul and free mouth when fighting with my parents. :X

It's the way its delivered and the general environment of a person's home that really dictates how mentally damaging corporal punishment is, if at all.

If your child knows you love them, and they know exactly why they're getting ownd, it evens out.
