I have in laws who think its ok to spank other ppls kids, although they havnt done this to Hayley yet i am worried that when they look after her and she plays up they will spank her. I personally dont believe in spanking (especially someone elses kid/s) what would u do in this situation??? Would u say something or not???

I believe in spanking but not spanking other people's children...just my own (if I had children). If the parent's gave me permission to spank their children, I would still be hesitant to do so. I've had to discipline other people's children before and it was giving them time-out, having them sit in a corner and talking to them about what they did wrong.

I don't even spank my siblings' children. They know when their Aunt Cheryl is upset with them when they are acting up and they straighten up right away. (I've inherited my mother's discipline voice and that "look" )

I don't think it's right to spank someone else's kids. But, spanking means so many different things to different people, that you really need to bring the subject up with your in-laws and let them know what is or is not acceptable.

I believe in spanking and allow my parents, siblings and In-laws to spank them. However, I don't feel comfortable spanking other peoples kids.

If you uncomfortable with it, you need to talk to your in-laws.

I have to admit - if anyone spanked my kids I'd have a SERIOUS problem with it.
My father yelled - screamed - at Kyler last month and I was furious.

Honestly - If I thought someone MIGHT spank my child (relatives or not), I wouldn't be leaving my kids with them. EVER.
I'm sorry - that's JMO.

I agree with Shari. If we don't spank our child (and we don't) then NO ONE else is going to. I wouldn't leave my child with anyone who wouldn't respect my wishes as a parent--whether it be spanking, tv, food, bedtimes, etc.

I agree with Dawn, I would talk to them and let them no your view on spanking and if they do spank, they need to know they will have H_ _ L to pay. Know what I mean.

You should say something when you leave Hayley with them...maybe something like "if Hayley is misbehaving...put her in time out, but please don't spank."

One day my mother said to my daughter something along the lines of "if you don't stop...I'll go get a hickory switch" I told her that I don't believe in getting a switch to spank my child...my hand does a good job when needed. I told her she better not ever touch my child with a switch...if she ever did that would be the last time she would keep Elizabeth.
