[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]….how do you manage not repeating this with you own kids?

FTR I don’t hit my kids. But I will admit to sometimes being so filled with rage when they are being especially difficult that I get overwhelmed with the urge to do what I experienced as a kid. I always manage to fight it off but it is hard. Harder than I think it should be.

Anyone else in similar shoes? If you were beaten (whatever your own definition of corporal punishment is and your own line of what’s acceptable) do you have a hard time avoiding a repeat of the past? [/quote]

I swore to myself my kids would not grow up afraid of me. And for the most part they didn't. There were a few times I screamed - running into parking lots, plunging their hand into a publish trash can to get something they accidentally threw away (dirty needles), for example. In those moments maybe they were startled, but they've never been worried I would kill them.

My dad had an anger management issue. I inherited that and just vowed to do better.[/quote]
