[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]not clear on why people don't understand that spanking does not take place in a rage or as violence.  I would never ever hit my kids when I was angry (or slap a kid like the OP).  But sure, if they are bad, I spank them on their bottom about as calmly (or more calmly really) then I am right now reading the newspaper.  Why do you think it is like a barfight or like spousal abuse?  Bizarre.  [b]I tell them I love them 100% unconditionally, and that I only do this because I love them[/b] and don't want them to get hurt.[/quote]

That is bone chillingly awful behavior on your part. You have many bad bad bad bad mommy moments if this is how you parent. I have never said this to anyone on this board, but honestly, you suck as a parent.[/quote]

Agree. I grew up in a home where there was real violence, against my mother and my siblings and me, and your comments turn my stomach. It sends a mixed message that it's okay to hit if you're the one in power, and that it's acceptable for someone to hit you if they say they love you afterwards. Yuck.[/quote]

clearly your violent upbringing is clouding your thinking and perspective, and I understand that.  We are not violent at all, and there is no rage or psychoness.  But if my kid runs into the street, then I 100% do spank them calmly and tell them I am doing that only because I love them and don't want them to get hurt.  [b]My father did the same to me,[/b][b] and he doesn't have a violent bone in his body[/b] and never even raised his voice to me in 40 years.  I knew he loved me and hated spanking me.[/quote]

Except he hit you, and now, you hit your kids. Brilliant.

And really, you still don't get that it sends a mixed message? At the very least, you don't get that you're telling your kid that hitting is an acceptable response?

Seriously. We all knew your parents hit you before you mentioned it, PP. Your methodical, calculating, "calm violence" already told us you were hit as a child in a methodical, calculating, "calm" way. But thanks for letting us know we were right.
