Ok..I'm in a debate with someone of the idea of hazing kids over beating them.
I'm a firm believer that beating your kids doesn't really send them a lesson. In which you have to continually beat your kids because they will continually act up. I know plenty of times I was beaten by my pops or moms and laugh because I was still wearing my Jordan's and playing my video games..
My pops got smart and stopped trying to lay a belt on me but lay a hand on my prized possessions. I went from rocking Jordans to ocking the shoes I mowed the yard in. Super Nintendo and t.v to NOTHING..My pops wouldnt even let me watch tv with them or even when his friends were around for a football game..He forced me to stay in my room..
Hmm..It's kind of like being pledged or in the the NPHC's word, "Hazed".
I will never beat my kids. I will make their lives a living HELL if they ever f*ck up..I'm sorry but pain only lasts a hour but the experience I would put you through would last forever..
My kids will know not to f*ck up..Believe me..lol
I like the method that my mom used for discipline. She would first explain to me what I did and why it was wrong. Then she'd let me know her feelings about it. This hurt me more than any whippin or "hazing" that she ever gave me because I was hurt to know that I had dissapointed her. After our talk she'd proceed to beat the hell out of me, then she'd tell me I couldn't go outside or watch television. She never took the things out of my room, cause she knew I knew better than go against a punishment. I never wanted to know if it could get worse than it was.
Her method was effective and I turned out to be a very well rounded respectful person. I think that her method is something that I would use, but again it does depend on the child.
I'm a firm believer in communicating with your children. When they mess up, it's the parents job to set them str8, but in a way they will understand. Hazing them is not the way to get your point across. It only shows how angry you are.
I think it's damn near impossible to communicae with a child effectively. Kids have a way of testing authority. You see it in the home as well as in the school. When there's a strict teacher kids usually behave because they know their punishment could be harsh but when there is a subsitute the kids go out of their mind.
I know that in my household, I will rule with an Iron Fist. Therefore, my kids will know not to act up when they are living under my house. You all have heard the phrase before, "My House, My Rules.."
