You HAVE to continue claiming every week even if you ' re out of town . I thought the same thing and they cancelled my claim and i had to plea with them to get it started again . <| sep |> Or when they first started showing the game people thinking old symmetra would be a mandatory pick in every comp lol <| sep |> I ' ve spanked my 6 yo maybe 3 times in his life . Twice for hitting his little sister and once for an uncontrollable tantrum . I haven ' t had to spank him for over a year . You are surely going to have to discipline your kid . With a father that put me in the hospital 2 or 3 times I can tell you that his spankings definitely hurt me more than him . The point wasn ' t just the immediate infraction though . It ' s a nuclear option . My boy wasn ' t responding to anything because he is perfectly fine with losing every privilege and being stuck in his room or in a corner or any other punishment . He still throws tantrums and has some emotional problems because I ' m disabled but when he really freaks out I can threaten a spanking and he knows what it is . To those who say it ' s never ok to hit your kids I would remind you that there is a broad range of people on this planet . Your kids are not my kids and scientific research is based on sample size and probability . Even when P . 05 that still means 5 out of 100 do not fit the model . My wife was and is equally opposed to spanking of any kind . That doesn ' t stop her from telling him not to make me so mad that he ' ll get a spanking . My advice is to wait and see . How do you know you won ' t have a hellion like my son and every other boy in my family ? I ' m a scientist and I know how to read research . I know how the process of science works . How much funding do you think a lab would receive after they published a paper that says spanking is beneficial ? Even the APA report with over 150000 people over 50 years failed to find causal evidence . What comes first , the bad behavior or the spankings ? There are just too many variables .
