[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not hard. My son was refusing to do something and giving her a hard time. She essentially spanked him on his leg. He didn't even cry- just yelled out "Ow! Don't hit me, Grammy!". I ran in from the other room and she admitted it right away. She said that she was really frustrated and apologized to both my son and me. I am SO angry but my husband is shrugging it off. He thinks I am being dramatic. I don't want her to babysit anymore. WWYD?[/quote]

So you do gentle parenting?  This is the result.  Your DC is a brat and no one, but you, can deal with him.[/quote]
I'm curious what OP does when their kid doesn't listen and gives OP a hard time.  Like, let's say your kid refuses to put their shoes on to go to school. What would OP do?

What was the kid refusing to do exactly?[/quote]

You would physically abuse a child for not putting on their shoes?  That teaches them that that is ok and that they too can hit people for not doing what they want.  Not a good lesson at all!

My sister and I were hit as kids not hard but like this.  She has major issues because of being hit so says her therapist and she has so many issues and she’s in her 30s.  [/quote]

Your sister was gong to have major issues anyway. "So says her therapist...." lol. Her therapist just sees a cash cow she can milk for all she's worth.[/quote]
+1 goodness.. a few swats in childhood doesn't normally cause mental health issues as adults.  That sister has other issues, clearly.

DH was swatted as a kid; I was physically abused.  A swat is nothing like actual physical abuse.[/quote]
