How about no.

Gonna have to agree with the above comment

HELL NO!! Just because it made you hard doesn't mean your kids want to be.

I mean ask them don't just do it to them for no reason but to make them hard.

No.

Are you whipping them when they get in trouble?

How would you say your own life turned out as a result of whipping?

I agree with punishment if it's warranted. If it's not, all you're going to do is make them dishonest and afraid as far as pleasing you.

I wouldn't say it's good.
They'll have many chances to get hard, but it shouldn't be by whipping. And not by you.
And they'll get a nice beating once in their life anyways, don't be the one to give it to them.

You really shouldn't use the word 'hard'. It's extremely chavvy, and actually pushes more towards a boner than being tough.

LOL this

I don't know about that then. Punishment shouldn't just be there by itself, it needs to be a negative reinforcer against negative action.

Toughness doesn't need to come through whippings, it should come through being honest with one's children. Like, parents do too much ego-preserving when they say to every kid "Wow! That's great! You're awesome!"; inspiring mediocrity and sensitivity to criticism.

I wouldn't nit-pick, but if you wanted to really toughen them up just be as honest as possible. Give constructive feedback. If you don't like something, say it.

Whatever you do though, in all honesty it's better than going along with this culture of pussies we've created.
