[quote=Anonymous]Dh and I discussed this at length before having kids. I suffered beatings which left welts, marks and bruises as a kid. We both agreed that we wouldn't put out hands on the kids, no slaps, spankings, etc, only loving touches. Dh was raised in a house with virtually non stop yelling. Before having kids, we agreed we would only raise our voices at the kids to stop them from doing something dangerous and never shout at them in anger. We discussed methods of discipline which were reasonable and we read a lot of parenting books before and after having kids. Our kids are teens now and they have never been hit, yelled at or had cruel words said to them by us. If it was hard not to hit them or yell in the early days, I don't remember. I never had the urge to strike them that I recall. Dh and I were both messed up from our childhoods and had a strong desire not to repeat history with our children.[/quote]
