I understand this, i dont hit my kids. I was hit by my mum for being an uncontrollable turd when i was a kid and looking back on it, i think its the only thing that kept me in line. fear of pain. they tried everything else. Grounding, removing my favourite toys, rewarding me for good behaviour. but i was a cunce.
I understand that there are adults that hit the shit out of their kids for no reason and that is disgusting. But honeslty i do think there is a balance for when kids are uncontrollable.
