[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  I was excessively beat as a young child (and an older child.)

My DD is almost 4 and it is soooo hard.  I try very hard to not succumb to my urges, but I am not perfect.  I would say I swatted her butt a handful of times and [b]swatted her face twice [/b](not that hard.)  My husband was never hit.  Not once.  I cannot even imagine that.  I strive for that.

We constantly make it known to our DD that we do not hit anyone.  And, those few times I've slipped, I told her how wrong I was.[/quote]

The FUCK? Red flag. [/quote]

Not PP but red flag for what - becoming an abuser?? I think that's an overreaction. This poster was clearly remorseful. [/quote]

Maybe, but I have to agree that if you hit ANYONE in the face (especially your child) there is something wrong.  I've never hit my child, I've had that intense frustration (when she was three months and wouldn't sleep) and I stepped away from her and handed her to my DH.  But, I understand the feeling that overwhelms you.  But the ability to slap anyone in the face - shows a lack of respect or a loss of control.  Eitherway, I agree it's a sign that there are greater issues at play.
