[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just shocked that a 3 year old is doing all of this. You really have to discipline your child. Your built up frustration is from not being able to properly discipline. A 3 year old should be fully capable of not biting, punching and kicking mommy. He knows he can get away with it from you, so he does it. If I can beat someone and get away with it, you bet I would do it. [/quote]

Mental image, kids biting mommy's nipples while nursing. [b]EVERYONE says to flick them in the mouth so they'll learn NOT to bite.[/b] If your kid is hitting and nothing else you've done to discipline him has worked, then I'm surprised you lasted this long before smacking him. I would have spanked him MONTHS ago if the redirection and ignoring or timeouts or whateverthehellelseyoudid hadn't worked. Call me a bad mom or whatever, I've never had to spank my child (knock on wood) but if nothing else I did kept him from physically abusing me I would.[/quote]

OMG, I have NEVER heard of flicking a nursing child in the mouth for biting. EVERYONE DOES NOT SAY THIS. I DON'T!!!! When my DD bit, I said "No, no", shook my head at her, pulled her off my breast immediately, then returned her a few seconds later. It only took 2 times for her to understand that if she bit nursing would be interrupted, and she stopped biting. And smacking, I won't even address...

What the hell is a 'flick', anyway? They say we have one adulthood and 2 childhoods, it'll be interesting to see what your DC feels deserves a 'flick'  or a smack when you're in a nursing home.

OP is right to feel badly that she hit her DC -- difficult moments happen to us all, she is not a bad parent because she slipped and hit her DC once. If she didn't feel badly, THAT would make her a bad parent. [/quote]
