[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting how we now make up what abuse is.[/quote]

Says the child beating ahole.[/quote]

I mean I don’t do that. But tapping a child on the bottom is not abuse. [/quote]

Tapping a child on the bottom or slapping the hand is not spanking or beating.[/quote]

So if your husband did that to you, it would be ok, right? [/quote]

How is a husband the equivalent of a small child? [/quote]

They are a human being, they are part of your family, they deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. [/quote]

And they are. But tapping a toddlers butt is not abuse. Tapping there hand is not abuse. [/quote]

“Tapping” is just a wishy washy way of saying “hit”. Yes, hitting is always abuse.

How did I ever get my kid to behave without “tapping” his butt? Is my kid special? Am I a parenting savant? Why do parents who abuse their children always claim that there was no other way yet I personally know countless families with normal kids who never had to hit them?[/quote]

Hitting and tapping is not the same. You are insane. Tapping the hand of a 3 year old reaching for the candle is not abuse. Stop it.[/quote]

Yes I agree. Tapping a hand is a useful reminder or attention getting action. How can that be true for being hit on the rear? What situation would require a butt “tap”?

BTW we are talking about “discipline” not guiding a three year old away from danger. People in this thread are talking about creating fear of being hit as a method to control their kids. A three year old is not being disciplined when you move their hand away from a candle.[/quote]
