[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d tell SIL and her husband point blank period that you are not OK with any kind of physical discipline, whatsoever, and if that’s a problem, no unsupervised visits. [/quote]

Oh no! Don’t threaten SIL to no longer have the privilege of babysitting OP’s kids for free![/quote]
Why is free babysitting for family/freinds seen as such an imposition? I never mind babysitting for relatives kids.[/quote]

It’s not an imposition when your family/friends don’t act like entitled @$$holes. OP is DEFINITELY imposing on SIL.

And anyone seriously calling three swats on the leg assault should avoid interacting with other people because they are deeply unhinged and have lost ALL sense of perspective.[/quote]

So if you had a conflict at the grocery store and the other person gave you three swats on the leg to resolve it, it wouldn't be assault?[/quote]

DP - Am I in charge of supervising that person or not? Can't think go many situations where that person would be in my care and expected to mind me.[/quote]

So my supervisor can hit me?  
[/quote]

Can your supervisor lock you in your room to punish you? Can your supervisor send you to bed without your supper?

(Do you hear how stupid you sound?)[/quote]
Hmmmm. So what are the parameters for who can use violence against someone over whom they have authority? Ok for teachers to hit kids? What about camp counselors? Any adult? Any babysitter? Where EXACTLY is your line?[/quote]

I see you have at least abandoned your dumbass attempt at conflating adult interactions with parent-child interactions.

I would not want anyone else to spank my child, for the record. But if an aunt or grandmother did, we’d have a talk about my parenting preferences. I wouldn’t accuse them of being abusive, violent, or of having committed assault. Because I’m not an insane drama llama.[/quote]
I am not the PP you were arguing with. My question about your EXACT line was my entry into that conversation. So your line is you but it’s fuzzy with other family? This is what you want to teach your children? That the people who are supposed to love and protect them have the right to hit them? [/quote]
