[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading through these forums and seeing the pride that so many take from hitting their children, I'm really curious about this.

You are hitting your children.  Why not own it?[/quote]

So they can sleep at night.  It's hitting, straight up.  If a spouse did it to them they'd be arrested[/quote]

If a spouse continually behaved in a manner that I didn't like, I'd probably divorce the spouse.  I can't divorce my kids.  I think it's stupid logic to equate children to adults.   One adult is not responsible for another adult; we don't have the same expectations of a child as we do an adult.  I don't teach my spouse how to behave or make him do his work.  I do all those things to my kids.

If I don't feed my spouse (unless incapacitated) I won't get arrested. I would get arrested if I didn't feed my child.  I won't get arrested if I don't make my spouse go to work; I would if I don't make my kid go to school.  I can go and on.    Just bad logic.[/quote]

Which is precisely the reason children should be protected from being hit.  They are helpless.  [/quote]
