Looked like an open-handed pop on the leg to me. Not taking up for her, but I've got kids and they get the same from time to time. I'm sorry that some are so PC and believe looking at a kid the wrong way is worthy of CPS being called to their house. Instead of damning the parents who give a little tap here and there, maybe this nation needs to focus on the true child beaters and molesters in the world that are roaming around free.
She gave the kid a spank cause she was being obnoxious. Any parent worth their salt will at one point take a hand or sandal to a kids butt. It's called parenting.
Seriously shut up. The outrage at swatting a child and bullshit hands off parenting is why we have a wave of self indulgent, ego-centric little bastards who run around in restaurants, disrespect adults and act like little sociopaths. Physical negative reinforcement is not the first response you should try but it definitely is necessary at some points. Not all kids give a shit about time out or being told "don't be bad because it hurt's mommies feelings."
Can't stand her however I have 2 children and I can't say I've never spanked one of them on the butt. If she'd slapped the kid across the face, I can see that being abuse.
However, I think I may love random internet guy. That clip rocked!
It's "supposedly" not "supposebly." If he's going to be an attention whore himself by attacking another attention whore, he should learn proper English.
#10 - come back and post when you DO have kids. There is nothing wrong with a normal spanking or pop on the behind...its not like she is beating the girl. Grow up.
#10... You're the kind of parent who has or will soon have a raging brat on your hands. Kids need discipline. A swat on the butt is hardly abusive. Perhaps your parents should have smacked some sense into you.
"Hitting" is taking a wooden spoon, closed fist, rolled-up newspaper, etc. to your kids and beating them like you would someone grown up. An open-handed pop on the leg is not abuse, and it's certainly not "us having issues". I'd like to know how many kids you have, because it seems to me that those who cry "ABUSE!" whenever someone gives their kid a lovetap generally don't have any. And it's parents that DON'T spank who wind up on Maury crying about their son being in prison for grand theft or their daughter having 3 kids at 16 years old.
punished,and I turned out great-resourceful job,no teen pregnancies, law abiding citizen. I DO BELIEVE,that YOU SHOULD NOT SPANK YOUR CHILDREN.Try time out and counting from1-100,begging,pleading,and bargaining,negotiating,and having your child tell you what ,when,how,they will do when,and how they want to.I see parents in the stores do this all of the time.They look silly.
I DO BELIEVE that if mine need on the bottom,they are going to get it. #9and others,I totally agree.
Notice how Todd said "because they're pissed off." He quantified his statement. There's a difference is spanking as a form of discipline and popping you're kid because you're having a bad day.
I am 30 yrs old and when I was a kid it was totally acceptable to get spanked at home, out in public, and at school. I got spanked by bare hand, wooden spoon, and belt. Nobody cried child abuse and parents were not charged for child abuse. So no, Kate is not a bad mom for spanking....it's called teaching your kids from right and wrong. What is wrong with the parents these days?? Instead of teaching their kids responsibility, discipline, and respect for elders/teachers, they just ignore problems and let their kids sit in front of the tv playing video games.....no wonder kids these days are so fat and scoring low in school.
I'm glad that people are being realistic about this. Seriously, I dont like her but she's obviously under a lot of stress right now and everybody who has children snap from time to time and give a DESERVED spanking! She has 8 kids for fucks sake, not one. And who the hell hasnt been spanked when they were little?
Just because spanking was/is generally accepted doesn't mean that it is a good parenting method. It is the method used by people who can't think of more creative and productive ways to teach their children how to behave.
Look up "positive reinforcement"; it is a more successful teaching method than punishment, and doesn't involve whacking your kids. Sure, "time out" doesn't work for everyone, but that is a punishment too. Generally, kids who are consistently bad and are spanked or otherwise punished frequently will simply get used to being punished and it just ends up causing resentment rather than actually correcting behavior. Then the kid will continue the bad behavior as soon as immediate reprisal is not a threat. It simply doesn't work well.
I swear people should have to take psychology classes before having kids.
The people who claim to be proud to spank need to ask themselves ifit was trully necessary for Leah to be hit after blowing a stupid whistle ONCE more after Kate asks her to stop. I mean really, when they are inside and loud they are screamed at to be quiet and go outside and be loud, then when they are outside and loud they get hit and screamed at to be quiet. No confusion there. She hit Leah because she was mad, not because of any for of discipline as some spankers claim. I feel for the kids of these spankers who can't figure out the difference.
Post 13, that's not true. I have been a nanny for many years and even though I dont have my own kids, the parents nor I ever raised a hand to the kids. they have been punished accordingly for various misbehavior and they are just fine. It's repulsive that you feel hitting solves the issues.
It's wrong to spank your kids. You're teaching them the answer to solving problems is by hitting people. Every time I see people spank their kids I call the cops on them. If you can't calm yourself down and learn how to discipline your child without hitting them you don't deserve children.
Sometimes a good, hard spanking does the trick. Spanking works. You obviously don't have kids. There are other punishments, but spanking is one acceptable option. And yes Kate G is a cunt. There is a deference between a spanking and a beating, or withholding water. Haven't you ever been around unspanked kids? They're worse than Kate G on PMS.
People who have kids know. Sometime they just need to get smacked. Not beat, just smacked. Sorry, it's true. And if you decide you want to be their "BFF" you will end up with a Lohan. Is that what you really want?
Get over it. Granted, she's a fucking self-serving bitch but this does not qualify as "beating". She spanked the kid for not doing what she's told. At least she disciplines her kids when they're obnoxious. I was spanked and don't worry, I turned out just fine. Never been arrested, don't have mental issues, and I don't solve my problems with violence...morons...
Pfft, all of you who defend hitting kids, do you hit your co-workers, spouse, parents etc. No, because you'd get charged for that. So why is it ok to hit someone who CAN'T HIT BACK. Anyone who believes that you can discipline children through violence (and it is violence, don't sugar coat it) should be neutered. You don't deserve children.

Wow, ok Jane, I guess you'd have to neuter a majority of the world. And what would that do? Not a damn thing, kids get spanked and they grow up fine. Better than letting the kid just get away with things. A child understands pain isn't good. It's discipline, she isn't spanking them because she's evil. If you don't like it, fine, but don't say something as idiotic as people who spank don't deserve children.
It's "wrong to spank kids?? By whose definition? Freuds? Masters and Johnson? How does it teach them that hitting is okay? It teaches them who is in charge...just like they're going to learn in a LOT worse ways if they don't learn it from their parents.
Yes...spanking is violent. But, not NEARLY as violent as 5 guys pulling a train on your 14 year old daughter because they got tired of her running a smart-assed mouth. And, those 5 guys weren't...wait for it....SPANKED, from time to time.
Spanking causes resentment? YOU BET. But, I'm okay with my childs momentary resentment if it's in exchange for long term understanding of how life really works.
You were a nanny? A nanny? And, a nanny is supposed to tell me how it's better to raise my kids because you raised someone else's who happened to have the money to have you handle their kids problems?
I'm never "proud" to spank. It's a last resort that almost never happens. It's violent. It sends a message that says "I'm in charge...not you". Do you know why? Because ALL of us have to realize that SOMEONE has to make the f**king decisions besides a f***king 8 year old!
Spanking children is a weakness in the parent's character and is pure LAZINESS. You're hitting a defenseless child because you're too lazy to take the time to discipline them properly. Your knee jerk reaction is to hit them because you are angry and you're taking your anger out on them. That is how you raise violent people, not good people. Just because you idiots were beaten by your parents does not make it OK to carry that behavior on to your own children.
Maybe if you didn't fuck up so badly by hitting your children already you could have seen that you would have been able to raise them and disciple them better by never hitting them. Now your children are emotionally scarred forever because the people in their lives who they should have been able to trust to never hurt them, did hurt them.
If you're a manager at your job and one of your employees is insubordinate is the answer to hit them and physically hurt them? NO. And it's not OK to do it to your children either.
Kids drive me crazy too and their screaming, crying, and attention whoring ways makes me want to blow my temper and unleash a fury of hell at them...that's why I DON'T have any kids!!! Take note Kate, you shouldn't have have children either!!
Anyone that would smack a child for any reason is mentally unstable. There is no excuse for hitting anyone ever unless it were in self-defense which is hardly the case here. Controlling a child with bodily harm and intimidation is child abuse. She should have ended her phone call and dealt with the situation properly without mentally or physically abusing the child and the other children in the situation. She is a piece of garbage.
Oh yeah, she really deserves to be fucking tortured for spanking her kid. Give me a break! You clearly have no children and no right to be talking about shit you know nothing about. Try having 8 kids under the age of 9 and see how well you fare!
"Try having 8 kids under the age of 9 and see how well you fare!"
If she cannot handle them with all the nurses, volunteers, nannies, body guards, relatives, TV crew helping her, then she should not have them. They deserve to be in a loving and nurturing home, and should not be afraid that they are going to get their ass whooped by their mother. If she does that out in the open, what does she do when no one is watching?
Spanking/hitting is such a moronic way of dealing with any situation. There are many ways to punish kids without hitting them. Take away something for a while ... Hitting solves absolutely nothing and just teaches them that you're a total asshole.
It's a known fact that kids who are hit will not be very close to their parents later on, and will be way more likely to rebel later than kids who weren't hit.
To recap: The kids who are hit now are much more likely to knock your fucking false teeth out later when you shit in your Depends. It's called Karma.
@#33: well, not all of us are fortunate enough to have a nanny like you or even another parent to help us raise let alone discipline our kids. I raised mine alone, and they did have an occasional spanking when time outs did not work. I'm not defending Kate Gosselin, because I think she's a total bitch, especially after seeing the video clip the other day where she sipped water in front of Mady when she asked for a drink before one of their kazillion television appearances...but in this particular case, I'm not as appalled as some of her other behaviours with those poor kids.
41, 43, and 48 need to shut the fuck up. I wasn't spanked much when I was a child but if you fucked up and did something wrong, your ass was getting beat. That's just NORMAL parenting and keeping your kid in line. Kids have no respect anymore because parents don't do just that.....PARENT. I see so many little shits running around stores etc, throwing fits, and just being disrespectful everyday. Everyone wonders why people in general are getting fucking stupid and irresponsible should look at the parents first.
Wouldn't it be priceless if that pack of funny looking children pulled a mutiny and beat the living shit out of Kate? Wouldn't it be bliss if they kicked her face in and she had to have that piehole wired shut?
#35-people like you are the reasons why "spankers" do 5-10 years in the pen and idiots who beat their kids with extension cords are allowed to go free. Focus your energy on the TRUE abusive parents.
#41, #43, #48, and #50-how many kids do YOU have?? All this talk about how parents who spank are "mentally unstable" and "lazy" just proves how idiotic you are and that you obviously need a swat across the ass for being a moron. I have 3 kids. And I use spanking as a LAST resort. I try other methods of discipline BEFORE I spank. But sometimes you have to go there, especially with a more serious offense. There are kids who are going to LAUGH IN YOUR FACE if you tell them that they have to take a "time out" or that they're not getting dessert after dinner. I also was spanked as a child, and I harbor NO resentment for my parents. In fact, I THANK them for it. I look at the kids today that are babied and coddled by PC moms and dads who are too busy burying their heads in Dr. Spock books and calling the cops on parents who look at their kids wrong, and it's saddening. They are the kids you and I have to pay for when they get locked up or when they have a baby at 12 years old. I know for myself that I got my ass spanked plenty as a kid, and I turned out great. College-educated, NO CRIMINAL RECORD, and I had my kids as an adult and not a pre-teen. I'm not advocating beating your child to the point where it leaves marks on the skin, but when you've done all you can do you sometimes have to take a trip to the belt closet.
By the way, #35, a woman in my hometown did the whole "call the cops" thing on a mom who had just threatened to pop her child on the leg (she never actually laid a hand on the child) for screaming bloody murder because she couldn't get a toy she wanted. And guess what happened? The cop laughed in her damn face. Remember that next time you want to dial 911 on someone.
Oh, hitting your kid isn't the worst thing, but it's stupid and lazy. And it's teaching your kids how to be stupid and lazy, and that the solution to problems with people is to physically overpower them. That has a real downside the first time you run into someone bigger and meaner than you. So, all you knucklehead lazy asses out there that advocate hitting kids as a legitimate form of "parenting" just need a fat lip to suck on.
#11 is totally correct. A smack on the ass to a child who is misbehaving after being told or asked to do something is not violence or child abuse. It has to be done sometimes. I had to spank my son exactly twice during his entire childhood. He never made me do it again. It was not done in anger. When some kid is throwing a screaming fit in a store or restaurant I wish the parents would do whatever it takes to teach the kids proper behavior and if it takes a spanking then I am all for it. If a little talk will take care of it then that's wonderful. Kids will test a parent to see what they can get away with. If you let them walk all over you then they will. They don't learn to respect authority and end up with real problems. Remember that kids are not all the same. Some kids are just little angels that are sweet and wonderful all the time. Others are like demon spawn that kick and bite and have tantrums. Each individual needs a different rule book.
I wish all the anti-spanking people on here would stop positing that parents who spank their children are "stupid", "lazy", or "failures". I don't have kids, and I don't know whether I will spank them in the future, but who are you people to judge these parents? Nearly all of my friends were spanked as children, and not one of them has ever spoken of or exhibited resulting problems in their adult life, psychological or otherwise. To be honest, I find that spoiling a child is far more detrimental in the long run than a spanking every once in awhile.
Maybe if people like that video retard stopped caring so much about Kate Gosselin she wouldn't be so popular right now. Seriously, if she 'Shut the fuck up' like you want her to, who are you going to 'vlog' about?? The next waste of space to come along, probably
I would spank my kids! Only if they deserved it. She didn't really hit becuz she was angry, she hit becuz kids don't listen sometimes. And when you're trying to control 8 of em, you gotta do what you gotta do.
i dont see the big deal with the spanking. it looks like she just smacked her behind a little bit. thats the problem with kids now a days they dont get spanked...and there rude, inconsiderate assholes.kate is a b, but i think the spanking thing isnt that bad.
The only way I'd watch this child-beating, husband-emasculating, child-pimping closet lesbian is if she were the one getting beaten with a wooden spoon. I'd put that on an endless loop and smile all day. Those kids are the only reason Kate the Cunt has a tv show, and the tv show is the only reason she had the kids. She's a walking human cancer.
OK, look...i don't love the woman or anything, but her vagina probably isn't as big as everyone says. At least six were cesarian. Now, Michelle Duggar, on the other hand....
Anyone who thinks spanking is wrong is an ass hole. It's not like shes punching them in the face or taking a baseball bat to the leg. It's an open palmed, smack on the ass like the little girl deserved for not behaving properly! Get over yourselves.
I think you're allowed to discipline your child. I don't see a fuckin belt in her hand or a whip. She's giving her a spanking which she probably deserved. How well would you be able to control your temper during the ruining of your family because of the media? I would be swinging at every moving object
Couldn't agree more #48. I have three kids and have never, *would never* laid my hands on them in anger. My mother was beaten as a child and raised her kids to believe that hitting a child is ALWAYS wrong. Parents who spank can't be bothered to find other means of discipline and spanking relieves their own anger, which is what kate gosselin is doing.
I was honestly more angry at the video where she didn't give the poor kid any water....As soon as those kids turn 18 they're all going to take their trusts and bail....Think the Menendez brothers times 4.
HEY - This day and age some kids DESERVE a smack to the ass! I've gotten five across the eyes before for lipping off. I've been spanked on MULTIPLE occassions and once popped across the face and (accidentally) got a bloody nose - let me tell ya I deserved EVERY single pop, blow and spankin' - I was a BEYOTCH growing up.
I am (now) a very well-rounded individual, who has never hit ANYONE and work for poverty reduction. I didn't turn out so bad - eh?
i was spanked twice when i was a kid once in a supermarket when i was playing up...sure as hell didnt do it again! Now when i go out shopping i wish more people spanked thier children, a short sharp shock is all thats needed, i agree with most people, time out dosnt always work but a smack should be a last resort. In the UK ive never heard of this tv show or this woman apart from what ive seen on IDLYITW but yeah she needs to get over it, its not like shes the only person whos ever been cheated on. poor fucking princess.
Look, you shouldn't spank your kids...EVER. My mother never spanked me once in my life. She stayed her hand and really showed me what love is all about. Her gentle caresses and tender kisses made me into the man I am now.
Now excuse me, I need to take mother to the fruit cellar, so she won't see the customer who just pulled into our hotel. She hates whores. Hey, what do you know? It is a girl! Hmmmmm...that's a funny car tag...LOHAN. Must be a custom. Well, off to the front desk to check her in!
Once upon a time, in schools all across this great nation, the school principal used to be equipped with a wooden paddle, usually with holes drilled in it for maximum air flow used to swat misbehaving students. The mere sight of this thing would instill enough fear to keep kids on the straight and narrow. Due to the pussified nature of this country, that was done away with. Now kids can run rampant, misbehave, and act like total miscreants without fear of discipline. Sad.
Can't kids just be kids? I am so tired of the Mommytards that obsess about their kids every bowel movement and feel you must kiss the ground their screaming spoiled, poorly socialized kids walk on. One sleepover with me would straighten them all out.
I believe there is a time and a place for a light "tap"-rather than a "spank" (hurts their feelings more than their bottoms) but to hit a child hard because you're frustrated about your own fucked up life in inexcusable
My mom never spanked but she did pinch the skin under my arm and whisper in my ear if i continued whatever bad behavoir I was doing she would pull down my pants in front of everyone and spank me or she would threaten to bring meback to the car and leave me there. My dad was the spanker, I learned it was not ok to play with the stove when your 7.
For once I am being serious: #11, #13, #20, #46, #59, #60, #63:
Your kids can play with my kids anytime because I am sure they are well adjusted, respectful, NORMAL children. Kids who are not made to mind are often spoiled brats who grow up to be the same kind of adults: Entitled, whiny, selfish, ignorant, disrespectful, self-indulgent, rude & irresponsible. In short, they are the "Creeps" we all know and avoid!
A picture can be misleading, especially when taken through the bushes. Perhaps before this one was snapped, she punched the kid in the face, but if we are just going to judge it as is - the kid is freaking out before the bitch even touches her. It appears to be a controlled little pop on the leg.
Listen, I knew sooo much more about raising kids before I had them, too. But I'd challenge any of you childless "experts" to keep this little chat we've had in mind - for when you DO have kids and they are blowing a whistle incessantly during a phone call and won't stop when you ask them to. It's a real "Aha!" moment in all of our lives.
Lastly: I'd actually like to abuse that bitch Kate - just on principal - I mean, just beat her ASS good. She's dispicable.
That's right! You should spank your kids! WTF! I see how kids talk to their parents in this country...If i ever did that growing up I would've been shipped in a box to China! At least that's what my parents used to say they'd do if I were bad...Either way, spanking is not abuse! SPANK! Spank away!!!
WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO WATCH THEM ANYMORE, AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THESE CHILDREN WILL GROW UP AND SEE HOW DISRESPECTFUL THEIR MOTHER WAS TOWARDS THEIR DADDY AND IT WILL COME TO HUNT HER BIG TIME. SHE REJECTS EVERYBODY, ORDERS COMMANDEERS EVERYONE AROUND HER, SHE KNOWS IT ALL, IS GORGEOUS (???)ONLY SHE DOES IT RIGHT IS THE SMARTEST AND CAN SPEAK ENGLISH AND ALL OF THIS BETTER THEN JON (?). PRAY WHO DIED AND MADE HER GOD ??? FRANKLY WE CANNOT STAND WATCHING THIS SHOW ANYMORE BECAUSE OF HER, WE RECOGNIZES SO FAST WHEN CRUALTY, MEANNESS COMES THROUGH HER THAT WE JUST WILL NOT WATCH ANYMORE. SOME OF YOU SOUND ANGRY TOO SO JUST STOP WATCHING HER, THIS IS THE FREEDOM WE HAVE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!
The woman is clearly troubled--anyone who would do a reality show about her family (and, frankly, anybody, *like all of you twits*, who would sit around watching it like zombies too) is in psychological trouble already. This entire society is distorted and sick in the way it treats marriage and parenthood as fundamentally matters of individual happiness (I will get married and have kids if it makes me happy--when I stop being happy, I'll just get a divorce or run from my parenting responsibilities). I wonder how many of the moral judges here who are condemning her for a little swat on the behind have themselves gotten divorces and left kids in broken families or made other selfish choices that are legitimated by our sick society (while swatting your kid on the butt now is child abuse, you can get a divorce and destroy your kid's entire world in a day and a half and nobody thinks badly of it). The whole society has gone mad.
It might not have been more than a swat on the butt, but if you hit your children in public for no good reason at all, you deserve all the flaming you get. Also, Kate Gosselin is an attention seeking, ball buster of a woman. Hopefully these news outlets will stop giving her attention and she'll, as the guy in the video put it, shut the fuck up.
My dislike for all things Kate Gosselin aside, she didn't spank her kid for no reason. Her daughter wasn't listening and disobeyed her. Maybe if more parents spanked their children, there wouldn't be so many bratty kids running around thinking they can do whatever the hell they want. And by the way, most parents don't spank because they're too lazy to pay attention to their kids, not because they have some moral code, so cut the bullshit.
Kids these days are all fucked up because parents are afraid to beat their kids. "Time out" and taking away Playstation just doesn't work. When they get out of line, there's no substitute for a good ol' fashioned spanking. Period.
I used to get spankings from my older sister who helped raise me. Did it make me not mess again? No! I got in trouble out of resentment for being hit! I now have three children of my own and I for one don't spank. I don't agree with spanking, but I know that some parents do. I won't say that Kate reacted irrationally for someone who thinks spanking is appropriate means of discipline, but I would have handled it a different way.
I think because of the large number of children that make up this family, the children don't get as much one on one attention from either parent. Getting in trouble may be their way of getting Kate's attention even if it's in the form of a spanking.

Looked like an open-handed pop on the leg to me. Not taking up for her, but I've got kids and they get the same from time to time. I'm sorry that some are so PC and believe looking at a kid the wrong way is worthy of CPS being called to their house. Instead of damning the parents who give a little tap here and there, maybe this nation needs to focus on the true child beaters and molesters in the world that are roaming around free.
She's still a raging cunt, though.

"Yes, God forbid that people still spank their children."
Harumph and Huzzah, good sir. Eight kids = tough love and discipline. Just because she's a bitch doesn't mean she can't properly parent.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 10:08:04
She gave the kid a spank cause she was being obnoxious. Any parent worth their salt will at one point take a hand or sandal to a kids butt. It's called parenting.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 10:08:35
Hitting is not parenting
Those of you who hit your kids need to go to therapy and deal with YOUR issues instead of taking them out on your kids
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 10:13:59
10. Anonymous and original poster,
Seriously shut up. The outrage at swatting a child and bullshit hands off parenting is why we have a wave of self indulgent, ego-centric little bastards who run around in restaurants, disrespect adults and act like little sociopaths. Physical negative reinforcement is not the first response you should try but it definitely is necessary at some points. Not all kids give a shit about time out or being told "don't be bad because it hurt's mommies feelings."
By deusx, on June 17, 2009 10:25:50
I don't spank. I deliver a quick shot to the stomach. I call it the "attention getter". It works with my 6 year old down to my 1 year old.

Can't stand her however I have 2 children and I can't say I've never spanked one of them on the butt. If she'd slapped the kid across the face, I can see that being abuse.

"Hitting" is taking a wooden spoon, closed fist, rolled-up newspaper, etc. to your kids and beating them like you would someone grown up. An open-handed pop on the leg is not abuse, and it's certainly not "us having issues". I'd like to know how many kids you have, because it seems to me that those who cry "ABUSE!" whenever someone gives their kid a lovetap generally don't have any. And it's parents that DON'T spank who wind up on Maury crying about their son being in prison for grand theft or their daughter having 3 kids at 16 years old.

I DO BELIEVE,that YOU SHOULD NOT SPANK YOUR CHILDREN.Try time out and counting from1-100,begging,pleading,and bargaining,negotiating,and having your child tell you what ,when,how,they will do when,and how they want to.I see parents in the stores do this all of the time.They look silly.
I DO BELIEVE that if mine need on the bottom,they are going to get it. #9and others,I totally agree.

Notice how Todd said "because they're pissed off." He quantified his statement. There's a difference is spanking as a form of discipline and popping you're kid because you're having a bad day.

I am 30 yrs old and when I was a kid it was totally acceptable to get spanked at home, out in public, and at school. I got spanked by bare hand, wooden spoon, and belt. Nobody cried child abuse and parents were not charged for child abuse. So no, Kate is not a bad mom for spanking....it's called teaching your kids from right and wrong. What is wrong with the parents these days?? Instead of teaching their kids responsibility, discipline, and respect for elders/teachers, they just ignore problems and let their kids sit in front of the tv playing video games.....no wonder kids these days are so fat and scoring low in school.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 11:53:46
I'm glad that people are being realistic about this. Seriously, I dont like her but she's obviously under a lot of stress right now and everybody who has children snap from time to time and give a DESERVED spanking! She has 8 kids for fucks sake, not one. And who the hell hasnt been spanked when they were little?
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 11:56:02
Just because spanking was/is generally accepted doesn't mean that it is a good parenting method. It is the method used by people who can't think of more creative and productive ways to teach their children how to behave.
Look up "positive reinforcement"; it is a more successful teaching method than punishment, and doesn't involve whacking your kids. Sure, "time out" doesn't work for everyone, but that is a punishment too. Generally, kids who are consistently bad and are spanked or otherwise punished frequently will simply get used to being punished and it just ends up causing resentment rather than actually correcting behavior. Then the kid will continue the bad behavior as soon as immediate reprisal is not a threat. It simply doesn't work well.
I swear people should have to take psychology classes before having kids.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 12:02:10
The people who claim to be proud to spank need to ask themselves ifit was trully necessary for Leah to be hit after blowing a stupid whistle ONCE more after Kate asks her to stop. I mean really, when they are inside and loud they are screamed at to be quiet and go outside and be loud, then when they are outside and loud they get hit and screamed at to be quiet. No confusion there. She hit Leah because she was mad, not because of any for of discipline as some spankers claim. I feel for the kids of these spankers who can't figure out the difference.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 12:02:12
Post 13, that's not true. I have been a nanny for many years and even though I dont have my own kids, the parents nor I ever raised a hand to the kids. they have been punished accordingly for various misbehavior and they are just fine. It's repulsive that you feel hitting solves the issues.

By StupidAzzStoryStopWastingOurTime, on June 17, 2009 12:08:51
It's wrong to spank your kids. You're teaching them the answer to solving problems is by hitting people. Every time I see people spank their kids I call the cops on them. If you can't calm yourself down and learn how to discipline your child without hitting them you don't deserve children.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 12:22:05
Sometimes a good, hard spanking does the trick. Spanking works. You obviously don't have kids. There are other punishments, but spanking is one acceptable option. And yes Kate G is a cunt. There is a deference between a spanking and a beating, or withholding water. Haven't you ever been around unspanked kids? They're worse than Kate G on PMS.

Screw smacking kids on the ass, I say in most cases a good, old fashion taint punch gets the attention of the kid(s) and shuts 'em up right good.
ESPECIALLY if they're boys.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 12:42:52
People who have kids know. Sometime they just need to get smacked. Not beat, just smacked. Sorry, it's true. And if you decide you want to be their "BFF" you will end up with a Lohan. Is that what you really want?
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 12:46:52
Get over it. Granted, she's a fucking self-serving bitch but this does not qualify as "beating". She spanked the kid for not doing what she's told. At least she disciplines her kids when they're obnoxious. I was spanked and don't worry, I turned out just fine. Never been arrested, don't have mental issues, and I don't solve my problems with violence...morons...
By Dan, on June 17, 2009 12:48:45
Pfft, all of you who defend hitting kids, do you hit your co-workers, spouse, parents etc. No, because you'd get charged for that. So why is it ok to hit someone who CAN'T HIT BACK. Anyone who believes that you can discipline children through violence (and it is violence, don't sugar coat it) should be neutered. You don't deserve children.

Wow, ok Jane, I guess you'd have to neuter a majority of the world. And what would that do? Not a damn thing, kids get spanked and they grow up fine. Better than letting the kid just get away with things. A child understands pain isn't good. It's discipline, she isn't spanking them because she's evil. If you don't like it, fine, but don't say something as idiotic as people who spank don't deserve children.
By JimmyAndTheBigAssApple, on June 17, 2009 13:26:07
It's "wrong to spank kids?? By whose definition? Freuds? Masters and Johnson? How does it teach them that hitting is okay? It teaches them who is in charge...just like they're going to learn in a LOT worse ways if they don't learn it from their parents.
Yes...spanking is violent. But, not NEARLY as violent as 5 guys pulling a train on your 14 year old daughter because they got tired of her running a smart-assed mouth. And, those 5 guys weren't...wait for it....SPANKED, from time to time.
Spanking causes resentment? YOU BET. But, I'm okay with my childs momentary resentment if it's in exchange for long term understanding of how life really works.
You were a nanny? A nanny? And, a nanny is supposed to tell me how it's better to raise my kids because you raised someone else's who happened to have the money to have you handle their kids problems?
I'm never "proud" to spank. It's a last resort that almost never happens. It's violent. It sends a message that says "I'm in charge...not you". Do you know why? Because ALL of us have to realize that SOMEONE has to make the f**king decisions besides a f***king 8 year old!
By Saul Rosenberg, on June 17, 2009 13:39:45

By bobaloo, on June 17, 2009 13:49:17
Spanking children is a weakness in the parent's character and is pure LAZINESS. You're hitting a defenseless child because you're too lazy to take the time to discipline them properly. Your knee jerk reaction is to hit them because you are angry and you're taking your anger out on them. That is how you raise violent people, not good people. Just because you idiots were beaten by your parents does not make it OK to carry that behavior on to your own children.
Maybe if you didn't fuck up so badly by hitting your children already you could have seen that you would have been able to raise them and disciple them better by never hitting them. Now your children are emotionally scarred forever because the people in their lives who they should have been able to trust to never hurt them, did hurt them.
If you're a manager at your job and one of your employees is insubordinate is the answer to hit them and physically hurt them? NO. And it's not OK to do it to your children either.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 13:57:25
Kids drive me crazy too and their screaming, crying, and attention whoring ways makes me want to blow my temper and unleash a fury of hell at them...that's why I DON'T have any kids!!! Take note Kate, you shouldn't have have children either!!
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 14:24:22
Anyone that would smack a child for any reason is mentally unstable. There is no excuse for hitting anyone ever unless it were in self-defense which is hardly the case here. Controlling a child with bodily harm and intimidation is child abuse. She should have ended her phone call and dealt with the situation properly without mentally or physically abusing the child and the other children in the situation. She is a piece of garbage.
By Machine Gun Barbie, on June 17, 2009 15:05:27

"Try having 8 kids under the age of 9 and see how well you fare!"
If she cannot handle them with all the nurses, volunteers, nannies, body guards, relatives, TV crew helping her, then she should not have them. They deserve to be in a loving and nurturing home, and should not be afraid that they are going to get their ass whooped by their mother. If she does that out in the open, what does she do when no one is watching?
By Machine Gun Barbie, on June 17, 2009 15:21:47
Spanking/hitting is such a moronic way of dealing with any situation. There are many ways to punish kids without hitting them. Take away something for a while ... Hitting solves absolutely nothing and just teaches them that you're a total asshole.
It's a known fact that kids who are hit will not be very close to their parents later on, and will be way more likely to rebel later than kids who weren't hit.
To recap: The kids who are hit now are much more likely to knock your fucking false teeth out later when you shit in your Depends. It's called Karma.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 17:31:19
@#33: well, not all of us are fortunate enough to have a nanny like you or even another parent to help us raise let alone discipline our kids. I raised mine alone, and they did have an occasional spanking when time outs did not work.
I'm not defending Kate Gosselin, because I think she's a total bitch, especially after seeing the video clip the other day where she sipped water in front of Mady when she asked for a drink before one of their kazillion television appearances...but in this particular case, I'm not as appalled as some of her other behaviours with those poor kids.
By catt, on June 17, 2009 17:35:25

41, 43, and 48 need to shut the fuck up. I wasn't spanked much when I was a child but if you fucked up and did something wrong, your ass was getting beat. That's just NORMAL parenting and keeping your kid in line. Kids have no respect anymore because parents don't do just that.....PARENT. I see so many little shits running around stores etc, throwing fits, and just being disrespectful everyday. Everyone wonders why people in general are getting fucking stupid and irresponsible should look at the parents first.

#35-people like you are the reasons why "spankers" do 5-10 years in the pen and idiots who beat their kids with extension cords are allowed to go free. Focus your energy on the TRUE abusive parents.
#41, #43, #48, and #50-how many kids do YOU have?? All this talk about how parents who spank are "mentally unstable" and "lazy" just proves how idiotic you are and that you obviously need a swat across the ass for being a moron. I have 3 kids. And I use spanking as a LAST resort. I try other methods of discipline BEFORE I spank. But sometimes you have to go there, especially with a more serious offense. There are kids who are going to LAUGH IN YOUR FACE if you tell them that they have to take a "time out" or that they're not getting dessert after dinner. I also was spanked as a child, and I harbor NO resentment for my parents. In fact, I THANK them for it. I look at the kids today that are babied and coddled by PC moms and dads who are too busy burying their heads in Dr. Spock books and calling the cops on parents who look at their kids wrong, and it's saddening. They are the kids you and I have to pay for when they get locked up or when they have a baby at 12 years old. I know for myself that I got my ass spanked plenty as a kid, and I turned out great. College-educated, NO CRIMINAL RECORD, and I had my kids as an adult and not a pre-teen. I'm not advocating beating your child to the point where it leaves marks on the skin, but when you've done all you can do you sometimes have to take a trip to the belt closet.
By the way, #35, a woman in my hometown did the whole "call the cops" thing on a mom who had just threatened to pop her child on the leg (she never actually laid a hand on the child) for screaming bloody murder because she couldn't get a toy she wanted. And guess what happened? The cop laughed in her damn face. Remember that next time you want to dial 911 on someone.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 19:09:53
#48 - totally agree. Violence against children is a sign of the parent's anger, and is not acceptable.
By Red Cat, on June 17, 2009 19:13:17
Oh, hitting your kid isn't the worst thing, but it's stupid and lazy. And it's teaching your kids how to be stupid and lazy, and that the solution to problems with people is to physically overpower them. That has a real downside the first time you run into someone bigger and meaner than you. So, all you knucklehead lazy asses out there that advocate hitting kids as a legitimate form of "parenting" just need a fat lip to suck on.
By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 19:30:58
I was spanked when I was a kid. Guess what it did to me. It taught me not to be a bad kid. So this article is pointless.

By anonymous, on June 17, 2009 20:01:13
#11 is totally correct.
A smack on the ass to a child who is misbehaving after being told or asked to do something is not violence or child abuse. It has to be done sometimes. I had to spank my son exactly twice during his entire childhood. He never made me do it again. It was not done in anger.
When some kid is throwing a screaming fit in a store or restaurant I wish the parents would do whatever it takes to teach the kids proper behavior and if it takes a spanking then I am all for it. If a little talk will take care of it then that's wonderful. Kids will test a parent to see what they can get away with. If you let them walk all over you then they will. They don't learn to respect authority and end up with real problems.
Remember that kids are not all the same. Some kids are just little angels that are sweet and wonderful all the time. Others are like demon spawn that kick and bite and have tantrums. Each individual needs a different rule book.
By It Doesn't Matter what my name is, on June 17, 2009 21:03:30
Right on, #68.
I wish all the anti-spanking people on here would stop positing that parents who spank their children are "stupid", "lazy", or "failures". I don't have kids, and I don't know whether I will spank them in the future, but who are you people to judge these parents? Nearly all of my friends were spanked as children, and not one of them has ever spoken of or exhibited resulting problems in their adult life, psychological or otherwise. To be honest, I find that spoiling a child is far more detrimental in the long run than a spanking every once in awhile.
By My 2 cents, on June 17, 2009 22:19:30

Couldn't agree more #48. I have three kids and have never, *would never* laid my hands on them in anger. My mother was beaten as a child and raised her kids to believe that hitting a child is ALWAYS wrong. Parents who spank can't be bothered to find other means of discipline and spanking relieves their own anger, which is what kate gosselin is doing.
By anonymous, on June 18, 2009 06:03:31

Once upon a time, in schools all across this great nation, the school principal used to be equipped with a wooden paddle, usually with holes drilled in it for maximum air flow used to swat misbehaving students. The mere sight of this thing would instill enough fear to keep kids on the straight and narrow. Due to the pussified nature of this country, that was done away with. Now kids can run rampant, misbehave, and act like total miscreants without fear of discipline. Sad.

By Bubbles, on June 18, 2009 14:45:51
For once I am being serious:
#11, #13, #20, #46, #59, #60, #63:
Your kids can play with my kids anytime because I am sure they are well adjusted, respectful, NORMAL children. Kids who are not made to mind are often spoiled brats who grow up to be the same kind of adults: Entitled, whiny, selfish, ignorant, disrespectful, self-indulgent, rude & irresponsible. In short, they are the "Creeps" we all know and avoid!
A picture can be misleading, especially when taken through the bushes. Perhaps before this one was snapped, she punched the kid in the face, but if we are just going to judge it as is - the kid is freaking out before the bitch even touches her. It appears to be a controlled little pop on the leg.
Listen, I knew sooo much more about raising kids before I had them, too. But I'd challenge any of you childless "experts" to keep this little chat we've had in mind - for when you DO have kids and they are blowing a whistle incessantly during a phone call and won't stop when you ask them to. It's a real "Aha!" moment in all of our lives.
Lastly: I'd actually like to abuse that bitch Kate - just on principal - I mean, just beat her ASS good. She's dispicable.

That's right! You should spank your kids! WTF! I see how kids talk to their parents in this country...If i ever did that growing up I would've been shipped in a box to China! At least that's what my parents used to say they'd do if I were bad...Either way, spanking is not abuse! SPANK! Spank away!!!

WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO WATCH THEM ANYMORE, AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THESE CHILDREN WILL GROW UP AND SEE HOW DISRESPECTFUL THEIR MOTHER WAS TOWARDS THEIR DADDY AND IT WILL COME TO HUNT HER BIG TIME. SHE REJECTS EVERYBODY, ORDERS COMMANDEERS EVERYONE AROUND HER, SHE KNOWS IT ALL, IS GORGEOUS (???)ONLY SHE DOES IT RIGHT IS THE SMARTEST AND CAN SPEAK ENGLISH AND ALL OF THIS BETTER THEN JON (?). PRAY WHO DIED AND MADE HER GOD ???
FRANKLY WE CANNOT STAND WATCHING THIS SHOW ANYMORE BECAUSE OF HER, WE RECOGNIZES SO FAST WHEN CRUALTY, MEANNESS COMES THROUGH HER THAT WE JUST WILL NOT WATCH ANYMORE. SOME OF YOU SOUND ANGRY TOO SO JUST STOP WATCHING HER, THIS IS THE FREEDOM WE HAVE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!

The woman is clearly troubled--anyone who would do a reality show about her family (and, frankly, anybody, *like all of you twits*, who would sit around watching it like zombies too) is in psychological trouble already. This entire society is distorted and sick in the way it treats marriage and parenthood as fundamentally matters of individual happiness (I will get married and have kids if it makes me happy--when I stop being happy, I'll just get a divorce or run from my parenting responsibilities). I wonder how many of the moral judges here who are condemning her for a little swat on the behind have themselves gotten divorces and left kids in broken families or made other selfish choices that are legitimated by our sick society (while swatting your kid on the butt now is child abuse, you can get a divorce and destroy your kid's entire world in a day and a half and nobody thinks badly of it). The whole society has gone mad.

It might not have been more than a swat on the butt, but if you hit your children in public for no good reason at all, you deserve all the flaming you get. Also, Kate Gosselin is an attention seeking, ball buster of a woman. Hopefully these news outlets will stop giving her attention and she'll, as the guy in the video put it, shut the fuck up.

My dislike for all things Kate Gosselin aside, she didn't spank her kid for no reason. Her daughter wasn't listening and disobeyed her. Maybe if more parents spanked their children, there wouldn't be so many bratty kids running around thinking they can do whatever the hell they want. And by the way, most parents don't spank because they're too lazy to pay attention to their kids, not because they have some moral code, so cut the bullshit.

Whole family needs a damn beating.

Kids these days are all fucked up because parents are afraid to beat their kids. "Time out" and taking away Playstation just doesn't work. When they get out of line, there's no substitute for a good ol' fashioned spanking. Period.

i don't spank my kids, i just shoot them with my shotgun whenever they're acting up...

I used to get spankings from my older sister who helped raise me. Did it make me not mess again? No! I got in trouble out of resentment for being hit! I now have three children of my own and I for one don't spank. I don't agree with spanking, but I know that some parents do. I won't say that Kate reacted irrationally for someone who thinks spanking is appropriate means of discipline, but I would have handled it a different way.
I think because of the large number of children that make up this family, the children don't get as much one on one attention from either parent. Getting in trouble may be their way of getting Kate's attention even if it's in the form of a spanking.

OMG... I love that guy.... kate needs to go jump off a freakin shut her fucken mouth why she has the chance to before someone does it for her
