Adrian Peterson is still a shitty human being...

Honestly, I have more of an issue with him actually having like 6 kids by 4 different women (those figures aren't correct but I remember reading that he's got a few baby mamas).

There's other ways to teach a kid than a good ass-whoopin'.

Like i said, maybe i'm just lucky, but i find that approaching the situation like he's a man, and treating your boy like he has the maturity to understand the conversation he's about to have, gets the point across better.

He realizes he ****ed up. He realizes he's going to be punished. But he also walks away with the positivity of knowing that his fate is in his own hands.

That's not to say i don't do my share of raising my voice, expressing anger/disappointment and throwing out some, "you're gonna get your ass kicked if you keep that shit up" threats.

Violent, physical pain just isn't necessary. The fear/threat of is generally enough.

Idk, maybe i'm just lucky and my kid is just wired well enough to not need bruises and blood to get the point.

This.

When a 6 ft, 200+ lb NFL RB is hitting a four year old with a stick with enough force to leave the kid covered in bruises/cuts, that can only be described as child abuse.

Pretty much this.

not surprised. Always gave me the creeps.

A little swat on the butt once in a while is not bad. Last time we did that-the kids were 4. They got the idea.

If you are a parent-should not have to go to that extreme (peterson). Someday I will do an AMA about being a teacher. I am starting to look outside education. Anyone hiring in Minnesota?

I got swats at school by the principal

my dad showed up and I was expecting him to whoop the principals ass

instead he took a few swings with the principals paddle

kids now days don't get their ass kicked. They hide out online and in safe spaces and avoid it. Getting my ass kicked did me a world of good on more than one occasion

used to get belt whipped with a belt that had buffalo nickels on it.

Society has turned into a giant vagina

I tell students about a kid at school who got paddled. You could hear it. (small school) He came back to class, red as a beat and steam coming out of his ears. slammed his book down and said "I hate the F-ing principal."
The teacher-all 5'4" of her, picked him up out of his desk with her thumb and nail, and drug him back to the office. He got it again. And I am sure he got it at home.

Last I knew-he was in jail for marijuana possession. His brother is in jail for robbing the bank in out home town of 300 people.

Kids today think they are so tough. Mainly because they know no one can look at them wrong without causing a lawsuit. Not a fan of corporal punishment at school-but I would like it to be an option.

Sometimes belt whips will leave marks.

I got whipped with a belt whenever I was little and was acting up.

Just tell them that you were drunk and thought the kid was a stripper. /Aqib Talib suiting up

I think you just won this thread... Pacman Jones would have also been a correct answer.

My dad said he would whoop the principal and then whoop me afterwards

Glad my kid has never needed a swat like that.

He's been spanked, bare hand, maybe 2-3 times in his life.

The fear of discipline is enough for him.

And while i'd love to take credit for the good, respectful and intelligent son that he is, i'm pretty sure he's just wired that way.

That may not be awesome for him in the long run man. Overly agreeable people tend to become doormats in life.

He might need encouragement to really think about himself first and pursue what he wants in life. Some people just put the concerns of others before their own to a degree that isn't healthy.

He's young. Only 11. I'm sure his teenage years will be rife with him thinking of himself first and only.
