[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]

Is yanking a child's arm as they're about to run in front of a car violence? Pulling them out of the water by whatever limb you catch as they go under? Are paramedics who resuscitate a person violent when they brake a few ribs? [/quote]
None of these things are intentional violence (you should brush up on best practices in both drowning and traffic- yanking limbs is a last resort). Crazy diversion.[/quote]
