I mean, I don't know. If I ever become a parent, I seriously hope I don't ever hit my kids and can figure out a way to instill these same habits / ideals I have without physical violence. I'm not a parent, so I don't really know where that line is.
But I guess also in my case I grew up in a household where we were both physically and mentally abused. So maybe I take that viewpoint to an extreme.
And I know there are some extremes on both viewpoints. I know some people say like a light paddling isn't a bad thing. And some people who think, touching your kids in any sort of harmful manner is abuse and shouldn't do it. And again, I'm not a parent so I don't really know where that fucking line is.
I just see people my age who grew up doing whatever they want Without any sort of punishment and wonder if they would be different, if they had gotten some sort of punishment as a child beyond like a light grounding or you can't play video games.
Like I told definitely not saying a parent should just like abuse their child at all…
But idk maybe because I was a rough and wild child and got spankings, belted, started a fist fight with my dad & 14 n got a broken nose…
Some kids need it lol my dad in no way whooped my ass for no reason that’s for sure…
I definitely think it worked for me…
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m a parent and will not ever punish my daughter (special needs - doesn’t matter tho) the same way as I was…
Yeah, no, that's fair. I didn't think that you were saying that parents should abuse their kids. I definitely had a Wild child streak and probably fairly deserved some of the whoopings I got. 😅
