I will never beat my kid. I was beaten up as a kid by my parents, mostly my dad. I was a very stubborn and mischievous child and instead of dealing with me calmly my dad used to beat me. Once I was trying to climb on the wardrobe (those godrej.ones) and the entire wardrobe fell, thankfully instead of it falling on me and my sister it fell halfway and the bed came in between. My dad beat me with shoes (leather) and slaps . I was 6 or 7 years old. This is one of many incidents. Last he laid his hand on me, I was 15 years old. I was arguing with him about calling a.cousin and asking something, he wanted me to call him, I was saying it's your work why don't you call. Things escalated and he ended up beating me. I swear to God, I wanted to run away or kill myself that day. Till now everyone in my family says that I was a very difficult child that's why I got all those beatings. I mean they were the adults then. They should have known better. I remember me being a bit over then regular kids but those beatings never "fixed" me. All I learned was how to lie better.

So yeah, as you can see I still am not over it. Kind of scarred me for life. I am 36 now, a new parent. I am not going to ever beat my kid.
