I think this says everything about the people responding that [b]she had it coming[/b].  You're picturing yourself as the BIL and thinking, "[b]well, she must be a little brat for him to have gotten so angry[/b]."  I grew up with a father with a very short fuse.  If you saw him in action, you would think that often his reactions to normal inconveniences were completely out of proportion and at times inappropriate.  Please don't assume that every parent's reaction is going to be like yours.  This sounds like OP encountered another parent who didn't just have a different parenting style, but who is just not in control of his emotions when dealing with a small child.  OP, I think you did the right thing to accept his apology and stay and I might even stay again.  But you need to make clear with him and your sister that, while you're fine with them correcting your children when they are misbehaving, you are not fine with them getting physical with them when they are angry.[/quote]

Blame-the-victim type stuff. Like, 'she must have been out late' or 'she must have been dressed too sexily'[/quote]
