Help!! our daughter is ...?

getting a bit hard to handle. My husband just spanked our 12 year frail daughter (his step daughter, but he legally adopted her.) We have never used spanking since as a punishment, but she has been acting really uncontrollable lately. We both give her many warnings to change the agency she was acting and if she didn't she was going to get a spanking. (She is already grounded for duplicate type of behavior) After I told her this was her last chance she yell, "I don't give a damn. I know you won't spank me." He lost his cool and yelled, "Get in your room." He be too upset to go in there right away, so we have dinner together and about 45 minutes later he went contained by, hairbrush in hand. He spanked her (over her clothed bottom) and after all be said and done, he left her in her room to settle down. She came out after roughly 20 minutes and gave him a huge hug and apologized to me for acting like such a brat. Some people influence this is too old to use corporal punishment, but it couldn't have worked better. If you had such a positive response from spanking would you use it subsequent time she misbehaves?

Do you think it is okay for my husband to spank her since he isn't her biological father?
usually when you spank your kids they win raged and want to get back at you so its other better to keep your cool
maybe he should aplogize and she should also
She have indicated that she and you both realize that that is what works to guide her, and she is impressed that you realized that, and that you cared satisfactory to do it. I am not advocating any approach with this answer, or applying it to any other cases. I am just interpreting what I am reading above.
It is alright that he spanks her, he is the leader in the house and needs to be respected. It is more legitimate since it was with a clothed bottom and not with his unprotected hand.

Is she an only child and/or spoiled?
These aren't bad things, as long as a spoiled child recognize that in the real world, their behavior will get them nil.

Sometimes, physical punishment is what a child needs.
My sister, when she was very little, did not attention to detail if she got grounded.
She was just fine entertaining herself.
And she be on bipolar medication, so taking away food did not do anything either since the medication kept her from her appitite.
The only punishment that registered as "negative" within her head was pain or commotion or anger.

As long as it is done appropriately, spankings are good if kept in a private setting and done only sparingly.
omg you only spanked her next to a hairbrush
my dad half beats me to death near a belt and im 14
this is ridiculous
Answers:    You say she's twelve?

She's simply testing her boundaries. She's trying to see of late how far she can go before she reaches your and your husbands control.

Notice how she said "I know you won't spank me,"? She was subconsciously baiting you, trying to see if you really would spank her. Because you, or rather your husband, if truth be told did spank her, she finally realized where he would draw the line.

While spanking have worked this time, i would not recommend spanking as the punishment you use every time she misbehaves. Since she now knows how much she has to misbehave earlier you or your husband will spank her, she won't push you and your husband that far again.

And yes, it was perfectly fine for your husband to spank her, regardless of the fact he's not her biological father. He disciplined her when she misbehaved, as is his place to.

I read aloud you should only use spanking again if she misbehaves as badly as she did that night
