There will be no diaper rash if there is no diaper. Kids do not

diaper.

No, but carpets do.

So carpets are more important than kids???

Are you really suggesting that we ought to let our kids run around
indoors undiapered? Granted, when one of my kids developed a diaper
rash, I left them undiapered as much as possible, but ALL the time?



My kids next to never get diaper rash. Is diaper rash a problem for some
even if you clean up the poo quickly?

Lord, what a lot of time I'd have spent cleaning up -- and I'm not sure
I see what would have been gained.


I *think* that he is trying to beat up to argument that:

- there is a potential for spanking to be harmful to a child
- there is no way to know for certain what is a "safe" level of spanking at
which you will certainly not
- therefore it is wisest to avoid spanking

He is saying that because something has the possibility to damage is not a
good reason to avoid it. If a baby is wearing a diaper then there is a risk
of diaper rash. The difference that he fails to see is that diaper rash is
very observable and one can respond to it. The damage done to a child by
hitting is less easily observed, particularly by the parent who is doing the
hitting.
