Should step parents be allowed to spank?
That can't work. I hate to sound like the world should be perfect but the rules have to be worked out in that situation and if you are that concerned about who is raising your child stay with the mother. Sort it out or take custody. But if the 3 of you can't figure it out you are damaging the child who is the most important person in this.That's the thing, that might be the rules or acceptable to the mother, but if the bio father doesn't want another man beating his son/daughter than it shouldn't be done, period.

But you should always consider what is best for the kid. Life is not cotton candy as you say but once you bring a child into this world you have given up the right to make decisions just based on what you want or need. You seem to believe that the negative that you see is right because it is that way. Choose the right partner make the rules for your child agree to parent to the best of your ability. Therefore if you separate and there is a third parent they are just an extension of the parenting tree with the same rules. Also, there is a big difference in soanking and parenting but again I wasn't born here and I went to school where teachers were allowed to spank you. Not beat you with a belt but spank you. I think the U S VI just stopped spanking kids in the last 5 years.That's a cotton candy and bubbles world b. You should never stay with someone solely for the kids.
That works but you can't spank a child a week from now for something they did today. That would mean if the child did something worth a spanking you have to be there in time to spank. So now we are saying that co parents need to live close enough to be affective at it?Stop, you don't have to be with the mother to still be in your kids life. If the the father is still there then there is no way an outside man should be disciplining his kids.
Not your reality.The world doesn't work that way . It would be nice if it did and the bio and step father and the kids could hold hands and skip down to the park, but that's not reality.

If you have never played or been in any of those rolls how could you argue the point so vigorously. You are creating what you believe is reality. Based on a generation of people who don't believe it takes a village to raise a child. There is no much thing as too much love and guidance and it is up to the adults to decide.I don't have those issues lol but I'm not oblivious to reality
Not at all. I am saying that once a 3rd parent is involved they should have some say so.No, they go there as soon as the offense takes place. My dad would go over his ex wife crib whenever my sister and brother got out of hand as soon as it was brought to his attention he went there and straightened them out. You acting like just because the father not in the house he somehow will lack in the disciplining department and don't see his kid but once a week.
