Originally posted by CrowleySomeday you may understand why hitting is wrong. Your child will soon be hitting other children..Swinging the cat is probably away for her to vent her anger, as she can't swing you around. You stop to think about that?
I've smacked her hand after she tried to swing the cat around by its' tail and once when she let go of my hand and tried to run into the road at her school.
These are scenarios I have no sense of humour about and needed immediate action.
Anyway, I'm out. Rusty is stinking yet another thread up and this laptop doesn't have gbaway on, so I have to see his posts now.

It will not be too much longer when the child will hit her back, and after awhile there will be no more hitting because the kid will be stronger!
I just hope the kids pops her hard enough so she knows what it feels like.

You are talking physical abuse
There are more kinds of abuse than just physical.

How many story's have you heard I am so emotionally scared because I had a toy taken from me as a child?

No, because I thought for once you had a standpoint which I could fit on. Alas, you climbed the crazy mountain and there's only room for one at the top.
If what I say stops just one person from using corporal punishment on their child, who may have been thinking of it. I would say it was well worth it.( It is most likely to late for the others)
Do you think the spanking or hitting stops at a certain age, it doesn't. It will stop when the child is big enough to hit back, and it becomes a REAL physical confrontation. Or leaves the household.
I have taken in kids in who were rescued by the social service department. Some of the stories would bring the hardest ass to tears. It all starts out with the cuffing & spanking, sadly enough.
I wouldn't have even got involved in this if Crowley hadn't started bad mouthing me, but now I am glad I did!
