[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if i ever feel like i'm being a bad parent i think - at least i dont hit my kids. I dont know how you could hit a kid and sleep well at night. nuts. [/quote]

I doubt you’ll believe me, but I was the sensitive kid that a PP referenced (not literally). I didn’t often get in trouble, but when I did, I was devastated. Sometimes this was at school, usually for something relating to being smart and bored and doing something stupid or just fooling around. Knowing that I was in trouble with my parents was devastating, even, maybe especially, when all they did was talk about it, and talk about how serious school is and it’s akin to my job, and on and on. These things could actually induce a nervous tic in me, which, fortunately, would last only a few months, at most.

Conversely, the few times I was spanked as a kid, they were never over the top about it, it wasn’t abusive, but it was the traditional, old fashioned kind of spanking. Somehow, I just got over it; I felt like the price was paid and we could all move on. I never had a problem with it afterwards.[/quote]
