Val,
I am a dedicated TAGS member and have even discussed this episode
with my 2 kids (b-15, g-11). I will, at this time, only spank them if they
tell a lie. Otherwise, I take favorites or privileges away when they
misbehave. This has worked really well with my 2 children. Keep in mind,
before I spank them I allow myself a cooling off period (10-30 minutes)
before I dish out the punishment. This way I don't spank them in anger. It's
interesting to note that my son and a few of his buddies have watched this
episode and they all commented that there parents would have done the same
thing. That's my take on this. Have a Mayberry Day.

1. Sensitive Topic: To Spank or Not To Spank? ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Hi Fellow Mayberrians!
Tonight I was watching an episode where Opie's new friend was so used to
having his way, and as a result, he usually got what he wanted from his old
man. He then taught Opie what to say and how to act up in order to get his
way. But, of course, Andy didn't fall for it. By now you know the episode,
right?
The little boy disobeys the law by riding his bike on the sidewalk even
after Barney told him not to do it again. after he disobeyed again, Both
Barney and Andy decide to take the bike away from the kid.
Later in the show, the little boy's father shows up to get the bike back
from Andy. To the little boy's surprise, the father decides to take Andy's
advice and take the little boy out to the woodshed and give him a spanking.
How do you feel about this? Of course, I do understand that most of us
really love the TAGS so much, but in today's society we may not always
agree with certain things they did back then.
I am a newbe here at TAGSRC, so if this has been discussed before or if you
are too sensitive about this, please do not respond. Not looking for a
debate, just a simple opinion.
Val
