Ummm, no. Even when I was a child, I wouldn't listen to my parents because frankly, KIDS JUST WANT TO NOT LISTEN TO THEIR PARENTS. Can that even be
classified as a hit? Puhleese, Jon was smacked way worse than that swat. Sometimes kids learn physically when they refuse to do so mentally. I just hate it
when people give Kate hell for the wrong reasons. Hate her for the right reasons.

As soon as I saw the story on E! about Kate spanking her child, I knew I had to get my two cents in, even though I personally don't watch the show, and
never will. I have no problem with a parent spanking their child. It's called discipline, and if the situation deems the parent to have to resort to
spanking in order to teach their child a lesson and not have them disobey anymore, then it's perfectly fine. As someone who was spanked, I learned quickly
when I got a smack on the behind to not do what I did earlier that warranted the spank.

My only problem with it is that if it was really over a whistle. They are outside! She could just remove the offending toy from the kid if her phone call is so
important or go inside. I mean shit, that's not worth spanking over. She needs to discipline them more when they hit each other, that's far more
offensive.

I see your point in that spanking didn't have to be used in that situation. It could have been handled different. I just took what has been said previously in the thread was, "OMG, spanking's bad, you can't EVER hit your kid!!!!11" |

Maybe there's something more to that. We can't say for sure what it is, and I'm sure the Paparazzi are over-exploiting this. They could say
it's over a whistle, but they're just on the other side of the street.

I didn't say to hit kids that hit each other. I said discipline them- timeouts/taking away toys or privliges, etc are all forms she could use.

Or she could just keep them locked in closets.

Alongside Jon's corpse? Even better. |

I rarely spank. Time outs work just fine with my kids, and I found that when I spanked, it was out of anger and frustration, not the desire to discipline.
I don't disagree with spanking...to each their own. I would never presume to tell someone else how to raise their kids. It's not my business. Unless
there's actual abuse going on. Then I would have no problem stepping in, alerting the authorities, whatever.

The ratings are down also because most people don't give a shit about motorcycles and 5 motorcycle guys that no one knows, unless you happen to watch
American Choppers. And most people don't want to watch Emeril chop and peel shit for an hour. Those 2 episodes were as boring as fuck. The best episodes
are just the kids being themselves - cute, funny, saying things that make you laugh. I'm so tired of the staged episodes with the crossover shows or other
pseudo-celebrities. Just tape them being a family (with 1 parent or both) and you'll have a better show.

It has gotten so that you can't even turn the t.v. on or pick up a magazine without seeing or hearing about John & Kate. I think more and more people are just sick of the whole thing and like me, don't want to be a part of their 3 ring circus and give them the satisifaction of increased ratings. |

Enough already.

I hope the announcement is that they've decided to stop filming the show although I suspect they'll announce their separation.
