I got hit as a kid, but only for being disrespectful ![Blush :blush: :blush:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/blush.gif)
if i ever disrespected my father he would smack me ( Very italian father and very old fashioned ) right across my face. One time i got so mad I told him to fuck off and I called him a SHIT HEAD
I got my ass kicked and now I know i deserved it. My boys are big now 20,17 and almost 12 and I never really hit them and thank God they never cursed at me (Probably behind my back) but they have been rude over the years and my urge to smack them was strong ,but I didn't .I can see how if a child curses to their parents , the parents might loose it. Honestly a tap is not abuse but it also does nothing . You need to take away things and have time outs and there has to be explanations as to why their behavior is NOT acceptable. Also I am 41 now and have much more patience than when I was 21. I would never question any parent and I think I would know if someone was abusing their kids, kids need structure and need to know what is acceptable and what is not. I am sorry but just cause a parent hits them on their butt or slaps them on their hand that is not abuse, not to me anyway.. ![Hugs :hugs: :hugs:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hug1.gif)
