Neither.

I just want you to own it.

You hit your children, what's so hard to accept?


They're two different words, with two different meanings. Who's having difficulty with acceptance?

Own it. You are hitting your children, don't hide behind semantics.

Just own it.

Oh. Nice justification there! That's what I expected.

Just own it. You hit your kids. Own it.

After reading through these forums and seeing the pride that so many take from hitting their children, I'm really curious about this.

You are hitting your children. Why not own it?
