[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were you beat as a child OP? Is that part of your difficulty understanding the difference? Or are you raising little hellions who listen to no one so you are trying to justify your parenting style with "at least I don't spank" threads? [/quote] Neither. I just want you to own it.[/quote] I don't spank. My kids are too old and when they were the appropriate age they would have likely just laughed at me. I was spanked as a child. No scars, mentally or physically, and I am a better person for it. I also know the difference between spanking, hitting and abuse. My uncle was abusive to his kids and my aunt. To equate calm and loving spanking as a limited discipline technique with abuse shows that you have no idea of what abuse and violence towards children is and trivializes actual abuse and its lifelong effects.[/quote] This. +1,000[/quote]
