Your kids are the bratty ones that are on the floor throwing a fit because they didn't get the juice flavor they wanted.
you do know you can discipline without hitting right?


It seems that people do not in fact know this.

I think a swat on the butt is no big deal. Spanking with an eye to hurt is a different animal.

In some countries (scotland for example) spanking is assault that will get you arrested or cps.

Hitting kids is not good for kids.

Anyone else similarly floored by this? Saw it in a thread and was just like - WOW. I can't believe it's 2023 and people are still hitting their kids and then admitting it to others.
