[quote=Anonymous][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]

Butt taps are just that butt taps. Like who is whipping a 3 year old? I've seen people do both and it's not wrong to me. They aren't abusers. You can say it's wrong and that's fine. But no police or child protective service is coming for this.[/quote]
