..so your saying you respect other people because you were assaulted as a child?
When I was younger (like 10) I was raised singly by mom with my grandfather being in my life. He was old school, cut 2 cords of wood a day and if you complain about using the washing machine you wash your clothes in the creek.
He used to hit me because I don't "use a broom correctly" and other unjustified reasons
I'm ambidextrous so naturally I had no right way of using a broom.
One day I was to be send home from school and was told my grandfather was going to pick me up from school. It got to my teacher that I didn't want him to pick me up because he was going to hit me.
Instead of picking me up he was greeted by the police and he never touched me again.
When you hit a child it's much more than just a slap on the wrist. There is emotional scarring that happens because of said abuse. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword.
Abuse and discipline are two different things. As long as we understand that.
No child should ever be abused, or smacked in the head, or any of that nonsense. But a pop on the butt is not a bad thing.
happened to me, Worked for me. Happens to my kids, Works for my kids.
That is a last resort style punishment, See post above.
Let us not mix up assault and discipline.
Nor criticize each other on our ways of raising our children.
