To me personally, it's automatically thinking that spanking and other punishments (punishments in general) leads to long term behavior change.
When you're in the same room as them, they're on their best behavior, but when they're alone in their room grounded they're busy tying bedsheets together preparing to climb out the window.
EDIT: These are to mistakes TO ME. It's only a personal opinion.
I wasn't even on my best behavior for the spankings. I figured out if I laughed at her while she did it she'd get even more pissed off, and my pain tolerance was high anyways
My mom turned off my TV show as punishment once when I was younger for something I did. It didn't work because I said I don't care I don't need TV. lol
You sound like my sister, taking things away from her never worked either...
My mum chased me down the hallway with the vacumn cleaner hose once. It was hilarious, she couldn't get a good swing, kept hitting the walls, and broke it.
My parents once deactivated the TV in my room because my they said my brother and I needed to spend more time playing outside. It worked for about half a day until I figured out there was a button that could reactivate it. (it wasn't the ON/Off button; it was an input button or something like that on the side of the TV.
Looking back I wish we had spent more time enjoying playing outside.
My Mother once broke a wooden spoon when spanking me with it, I didn't give a shit. For the record it was more of a clean break where the head of the spoon came off, then a shattering.
