Even God Advised, Whup Your Butt

“911, 911…Well you’ll have to get to the phone first and then after I get through whuppin your butt, I’ll call the police for you”. This is the old school, “big mama” attitude I grew up with. I get on my knees and thank everybody on my block that carried out this antiquated yet effective form of discipline referred to in 2010as abuse. That “abuse” made me aware that everybody I got it from cared or loved me and although it was not my choice of chastisement, (but then with what kid would it be. I didn’t go out and shoot up a school yard and I was able to face bullies because along with this discipline came the talk starting with, ”This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you” and if, “She get’s upon you try to talk with them if they don’t hit’em back.” Do you know what that meant, it meant I love you and I’m trying to keep you from being in greater pain in the long run. It meant, “Child, I’m trying to save your life”. We would learn to respect authority because of it, knowing that we would forever have to answer to some one in order to get through. No, one is completely free of laws and guidelines even though it may not come down on all of us with the same severity. In view of parenting it seems apropos for the punishment to fit the crime and every crime does not call for your hind end to see the business in of a piece of wood but disrespecting was definitely the proper occasion for it. Even though hearing the words, “time out” causes me to roll my eyes it may work in some situations. Trust me I love kids but not the bad A ones and won’t put up with them either. They can keep their parents crazy for as long as they will stand it.
Even God gives the advisement at Proverbs 23, 13 & 14 for me kick booty saying, “Do not hold back discipline from the mere boy. In case you beat him with the rod, he will not die”. Reasoning abilities allows people to understand the difference between abuse and reprimand so if you see me snatch a two year old up in the store and whale on his little bottom it’s not abuse and as verse 14 says to paraphrase, “this rod you beat him with may actually deliver his behind from hell or She’ol”. In other words, it’s smackity smack if you talk back LOL.
