Jun 17 2009Kate Gosselin spanking her kid counts as news now

She's a bitch what do you expect !

First!!! I rule

i don't get it

Some kids need to be spanked sometimes. What the hell is wrong with people?

Probably had the kid confused with the bodyguard. Ho.

who's this woman and why is she important?

I've got a monkey... come spank it Kate...

Ask the girls who dance on poles how many were raised by "religious" moms and associate getting hit with being loved. "I do this because I love you" is the path to teaching kids to grow up to be dysfunctional. BAD IDEA JEANS.

Parents that don't spank their kids when they misbehave are weird.

Who doesn't skank their kids? I wasn't aware that this was taboo. But then again, maybe it's because I'm from Alabama. Trips to the woodshed aren't that uncommon. (Of course, I never got spanked because I was a perfect child, but that's besides the point).

"Who doesn't skank their kids? "....

Uuuhhhh... HI FREUD!!!

lol nice Amy.

Yeah whats the big deal? But did anyone catch that video of her child asking for a drink of water and she takes a drink and makes her daughter cry because she doesn't give her any?

The tell all book is going to be awesome.

#8, there is a difference between being "hit" and being spanked. Use some common sense. Plus, kids are different. No matter how you raise some kids, they turn out shitty. I've seen kids who've never got spanked and had everything handed to them turn out like shit. I've seen kids (like my dad for instance) who were beaten to a bloody pulp and turned out great and learned to never lay a hand on anyone. People are just different. This is one reason I really don't want kids (I know I'll change my mind at some point). I don't want to deal with the crap. It's like you really don't know what you're going to get--the deadbeat shitty kid, or the doctor.

She spanks them for opening the bedroom door while she's fucking her bodyguard.

Fuck this whore.

Amy,

You use anectodal evidence to reach conclusions? That's not very lawyer-like. And your fear of a "shitty deadbeat kid" or a "doctor" tells me your parent sscrewed you up good - they seems to have taught you that your value as a child is based on whether you choose a lofty profession or if you struggle to find your place. That's screwed up. You probably should get your tubes tied.

She can spank me anytime ha ha ha ha

Religion has nothing to do with choosing to spank. Though I am very religious and practice the time out method rather than spanking, I do recognize that spanking (VERY different from hitting ) can be done effectively. Most people fail to do so though.

@18: God is imaginary, faggot.

when i got spanked when i was a kid-i freaking deserved it!! (well, most of the time, sometimes it would be my brother's fault i was in trouble)

i was a little brat at times and i learned my lesson. if you can teach a kid without spanking thats great...but we sure needed it

how the FUCK is this news?

The Fish writer grew up in the Goode Family. His parents probably recycled rainwater to take their showers in.

She's religious? Gross.

I'm an agnostic liberal and I believe in wearing a kid's ass out when she/he needs it. My boyfriend and I both received numerous whoopins as kids and I think we're the better for it. Although, when I was in school, I got paddled for talking too much in class and I think it was kind of harsh since I was only 8-9 and they wore the shit out of me at school....course I got it double at home if I got it at school lol.

For all those people who think spanking is abuse, "Fuck you!" All of you tree-hugging liberals need to chill the hell out.

Kate,

I know my evil twin will eventually say something about you which will sound awfully praising, however I will be the first to say disregard his deviant ramblings. You are a bad person with an ugly heart. And we don't give a fuck what you think. (Oops, sorry... that was a Romy & Michele moment). Anyhoo... if you have decided to beat your children and fuck your bodyguard without regard as to how this will eventually impact your children in the future, we the public will wonder how such a person can live with herself. I don't hate you, Kate. I pity you.

Look inside your soul and find a way to forgive yourself and your husband for your marriage's faults. And please don't take it out on your children. They are innocent bystanders.

Peace,
Randal's Evil Twin

We all know that nothing works better on kids than threats or bribary. If you spank your kids and threaten to do it again in the future...you can scare your kids into being good. I fail to see the problem.

Why must we have 8 pictures of her pumping gas!?? One would have been plenty or just a blurb.

Hahaha...it's pretty clear the only idiots who think spanking a child is neccessary or productive are the boneheads who themselves were spanked as a child. Like religion or sport teams, children adopt the preferences of their parents with great conviction, no matter how ridiculous.

Go to a graduate school, a corporate board room, or other assembly of high achievers, and you find the loweest rate of formerly spankled children.

Go to a trailer park, and you'll find the highest rates of spanking.

Spanking is the redneck's substitute for good parenting.

#27 summed it up perfectly.....

.

@25... I love you man!

Kate can spank me anytime! As long as I can pull her hair and smack her around afterward! Tummy Tuck scars make me hot!

@27 welll excusssssssseeee me, those are not eight pictures of her pumping gas, those are eight pictures of breast we all would be glad to be humping.

@ Fish " religious " spank everlicking fuck out of her kids "

lmao I love you man! I would marry you! I mean if you were tall, blonde (brunette at this point) had a vagina liked to cook and clean etc

I believe in spanking. *shrugs* I don't think it's a Christian thing, or anything with religion at all really. I just think there are times when a kid needs the shit slapped out of them.

UGH! So sick of hearing about her.... Who fkn cares!

@28: Spanking doesn't hurt kids, hitting does. There IS a difference. And besides, have you ever seen kids being punished with "time out"? Yeah, 99% of the time, it's shit. And I'm not religious either. So, since you don't spank and apparently were not spanked, don't mouth off about things you don't understand.

The only reason this is making news is because it involves Kate. If it was any other parent, celebrity or otherwise, this wouldn't even elicit a blip on the radar. Since Kate appears to be persona non grata, I guess anything goes. Sad.

The cliche, "when it rains, it pours," comes to mind in this instance. Taking potshots at Kate nowadays seems to be de rigeur. Now everybody, on the count of three, let's all pile on, and see if we can make a mountain out of a molehill.

This is beside the point, but I'd much rather look at pictures of Kate, than fat, ugly, balding Jon. That guy is hideous!

I'll let her beat me off with her tight ass.

I'm actually relieved to hear she spanks her kids. I was wondering what the hell was wrong with me that I (occasionally) have to spank my kids and here she has 8 and you never see her do so. Now I know how she gets them to go sit in the Time Out corner and not get up. PS, there is a HUGE difference between spanking and beating.

The kids growing up who were never spanked were ALWAYS the worst ones

#28, where do you get your facts? A lot of my friends are in med school, grad school, pharm school, dental school and growing up with them, I know for a fact they were spanked. My parents both have master degrees and they were spanked. I'm in opt college myself and I was spanked as a kid. I grew up perfectly fine. My parents would always tell me why I was being spanked and never to do what I did wrong again. Sometimes I had the option of being grounded or having a spanking (I chose spanking over missed TV shows). I don't condone corporal punishment, but parents will punish as they see fit.

A kid was misbehaving, was told to stop, didn't stop, and got spanked. Boo hoo. Oh the humanity. Do we all live in Pussy McSpoiledBratville USA? Where Time-Out Lane intersects with Letmykidwalkalloverme Cul de Sac?

@ 28
I agree with you completely. I am a pre-school teacher and (obviously) work in an environment where hitting/ "spanking" is never acceptable. Children learn absolutely nothing from being spanked, it's usually done because the parent is angry, tired, and too impatient to address the situation calmly and reasonably. Removing the child from the negative situation, taking away something important to them, talking with them, and/or rewarding their positive behavior is a better way to teach children right from wrong.

Okay, is it just me or does this chick wear nothing but khaki and white? With all that money, you'd think she could at least get some color into her wardrobe. She thinks she's a celebrity but she's not.

All you whiny,ass, bleeding hearts are the reason this country is going to hell in a handbasket. You don't sit down and have a rational conversation with a 5 year old. Your kind remind me of Miss Lippy from Billy Madison, fucking hippie freaks. your kids are gonna walk all over you and I would love to witness these undisciplined little cretans as teenagers... good luck on those therapy bills.

I can't stand Kate, but I will defend her on this. Spanking is not child abuse...spanking is not beating a child - it's because of people who call spanking the same thing as abuse, that children are such assholes these days. Even if I wanted kids, I would not have them because of idiots who call spanking child abuse....all the authority is taken away from parents and given to the kids - which completely warps them to become giant assholes when they grow up. Whomever decided to take "power" away from the parents has ruined this society forever.
I will defend Kate on this one.

28. The Lesser Masses

And you're calling other people idiots? My husband is an Engineer, his brothers are all college educated and have high paying careers and they were SPANKED! There's a funny story about the look their Mother would give them right before she reached for her wooden Dr. Sholes and they new better than pull any shit on her.

And your calling others rednecks...wow....the stupid...it hurts.

Somebody needs to spank the fugly off Kate's face.

@14 LOL....

WTF? Spaking here kids??? I thought she was into that Time-Out stuff....

The American Academy of Pediatrics---these are our nation's best doctors---have concluded spanking to be emotionally, psychologically, and even sexually damaging to children, sometimes all the way into their adult lives.

Spanking is hitting, plain and simple. If someone smacked you everytime you messed up, would it inspire you to become a better person, or would it just make you an angrier person?

www.nospank.net for more information.

@42 you have no kids do you....

@28 and 42

28, yeah you just made that up. I work in an architectural firm and we were all spanked and we are all registered architects making a pretty penny so your crap you just said was made up.

42, You cannot make a blanket statement because you work with kids that it does not work in your experience. I know plenty of parents who do not spank their kids and they are the worst social reject kids out there. No one wants them around because their kids are so bad. Each kid is different. My child get spanked, and not out of anger or my being tired. He is well adjusted and adores me. He also knows respect and manners and always gets complements on how well adjusted he is. My cousins who don't spank....thats a whole 'nother story.

@49, you're a dumbshit.

www.youareadumbshit.net for more information.

@28 you are a fucking idiot. If you have a dick go punch it really hard. If you don't have one, I hope you get gang raped by all the executives after the board meeting. In the ass. You are a stupid piece of shit.

My mother utilized the threat of spanking more than the action. Just as effective, of course as 28 said, my parents used the "redneck's substitute for good parenting" and that is why I live in a trailer park with all the failed corporate board room execs who were spanked and got kicked out of the spazz kid club.

*rolls eyes*

Difference between spanking and beating.

#51 Stuey
Very well said! I totally agree! Because of these new age wimps that don't deserve to be called "parents", we're going to be surrounded by total self entitled asshats in the coming years....very scary.

#16 You're about as cool as taking a bath with your dad. I wouldn't value my child by their profession (my father didn't go to college fyi). You take everything far too literally. My statement clearly meant: shitty kid or good kid. Pick up a fucking book and stop being so jealous of the people who've made it in society.

Look back in the future for a moment. Sixty years ago kids had simple manners and common courtesy. They were spanked more than all of us back then. They were taught their lessons. They got it at home and at school. But now, kids are little shits because they can get away with anything. A little smack on the butt never hurt anyone. If spanking is abusive then why isn't illegal?

I'm still waiting for Jon to take a black gay lover and name him Uncle Roy and then have him brutally sexually humiliate Kate. Which is what this kid needs.
Why is it that religious parents tend to be the most brutal, where does the bible tell you to be a total prick to your kids.

Spanking is just an easy way out for lazy parents who want to feel like they are doing their job but do not want to out anything but minimum effort.

As a guy who almost always banged chicks out of his league in high school, I would like to thank those parents who were too strict on their girls. The daughters of teachers, preachers and cops were always on my list, they couldn't wait to rebel against their parents, just like in Footloose.
Spanking as a form of discipline should be just that, discipline and not done in anger. If the child views you as their Alpha, you should not have to lay a hand on them. Showing anger during discipline makes you weaker in their eyes. Remember, Exercise, Discipline and then Affection. Walk your child for 20 minutes every day!

I know it's difficult with 8 kids but i'm against slapping kids,even the so called 'correcting' slaps.

Only eye contact is enough if you've a good understanding of your kid.

Are we against spanking the bottoms of adult girls too?

57. Casey
EXACTLY! And people wonder why most kids are assholes these days....things sure have changed.

..... this was posted because.....

I know where I live it is against the law to slap your child..no matter what the situation is. I was slapped as a child and hell some of them I did deserve but there are other ways to discipline a child without physically slapping them and to make matters worse embarrass the child by doin it in front of people with cameras. Some situations I will agree a child should get spanked, But I personally dont spank my child I talk to her and send her to her room... but I also have never been in a situation where I would think it was" appropriate" to spank her. I also dont have 8 children and cameras following my ass everywhere and going through the situation she is with her family life... so I cant say what I would do in her shoes. Actually nobody knows what they would do cause they arent in her situation and to judge somebody so harshly for something that didnt concern them is kinda crazy if you ask me. She's just being a mom and mothers are human and allowed to make mistakes like everyone else.. maybe what she did was right or maybe it was wrong but I am not God so I dont feel like I should pass judgement on her its not my place and its nobody else's either. You wanna pass judgement and talk shit about people go look up all the abuse cases on youtube where these poor little kids were beat so bad by their parents that they are either dead or in critical condition. I just cant get over how much drama there is over a child being spanked when there are kids that are getting abusedt and molested and neglected and it seems like they are forgotten about but take somebody thats a familar face and let them spank there child and people act like she commited the worse crime ever.

Kate is a pig.

She is worthless. I shudder to think what she does to these children when the camera is off. The humiliation that these children endure is heart-wrenching.

I am a mother of a child who has come home from visiting her father for a weekend...returning with second degree burns (which have left PERMANENT marks on her!), bruising literally all over her back, and an ear that was completely black around the top edge from "falling off a counter". All of these injuries didn't receive a second look from the police man who took the report, from the hospital that examined her and treated her and SAID that was abuse, or from the DFS workers who claimed it was accidental injuries. But a mother spanks her child who deliberately disobeyed her without leaving a mark and it's nationwide coverage! I'm disgusted by when and where our country can decide if a child is being "abused" or just "punished". I do not believe that Kate is abusive in any way to those children. I agree with whoever said to check out youtube videos. Where were all of you when those children were kicked to death, or burned in their bathtubs, or beaten with a belt till their skin broke and they bled and then beaten more for crying? Where were your concerns when a 3 year old girl was buried while the person who smashed her head in on a wall is sitting on his couch off on bail? #67 says Kate is a Pig. #68 says she is worthless. If you're going to take a stand about a situation, be sure it's for the right reasons. Not because some low rate wanna be journalist or photographer says so.

If you don't spank your kid your a friend not a parent, have fun paying your son's chiold support when they knock a chick up at 14, or raising your daughters baby to have it think it's her sibling when she gets knocked up at 15. Hahaahahaha time-out......... at first I was like what? then I lol'd!

I'm waiting for the Kate vs Jon slapfest, followed by a spectacular OJ style finale.

hey i think it was wrong for kate to hit her kids but every body makes mistkes and i dont like jhon so im on kates side and jhon should stop fucking other girls
