[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like in my family it's gotten gentler with each generation. Grandparents' generation was truly beaten as children, like abusive levels. My parents' generation was paddled and spanked but with switches/belts. I was spanked, lightly and just with hands, only a couple of times and reserved for very severe incidents. As a parent, I do not do corporal punishment (except would not rule out swatting a hand away harshly if DD tried to touch an open flame burner, etc. just to startle her away for safety).[/quote] Similar. My mom was beaten with a belt or coat hanger by her dad. I have spanked DD maybe three times ever, open hand, and did not even feel like it hurt her that much (although I felt like sh1t, as I should). I try really hard to walk away when I'm super angry, or more often, reframe the whole thing as DD in need of something. It's gotten easier not that she and I are both older - I'm more chill and she's more reasonable.[/quote]
