[quote=Anonymous]I have only experienced the urge to do this once or twice. In both cases, either I left the room or I put my child in a room and sat in front of the door. I’m not proud of this, but once or twice I’ve said to them, “You deserve a spanking for that” or “If you do that again, I will slap you.” I know that is wrong and I apologized to them later. I have never hit them or anything like that, but I know even the threat of it is awful. After my girls were born, there was one time I told my parents that my siblings and I never deserved to be slapped, beaten with a belt, or had our mouths washed out with soap. (It was kind of relevant to a discipline discussion—they were saying my kids were always well-behaved and complimented me for being calm with them at all times.) They didn’t apologize or acknowledge what I said, but *I* felt better for saying it. I felt better for standing up for the little girls my sister and I were, and the little boy my brother was.[/quote]
