I have been reading the long thread about spanking and such that I started long ago. Well now I have lots of questions on GD. What is it? I am currently pregnant and having a hard time with my 2 year old. We went to a tractor pull the other day and he ran from me. Right onto the track. I was yelling stop stop, but he thought it was a game. It really got me shaking. When I caught him, I was almost in tears, and spanked him, in front of everyone. I felt like a horibble, failure of a mom. We stopped doing timeouts because they were not working, spanking doesn't work. He just laughs and sometimes hits back. Ok, sorry for the long rant of a post, but something with MY parenting style needs to change. I admit that. I just do not know what to do anymore.
