Parenting In A Nutshell

Spoken like someone who has no children.

There is no excuse for assaulting children.

None? Really? My 14 yo son is 5’11” and 195lbs. My wife, his mom, is 5’4” and 120lbs. He towers over her. What if he gets angry and gets up in her face & boxes her into a corner? Can I assault him then or should I offer him a hug?What if he is physically assaulting me? Am I allowed to defend myself or do I have to take an ass-whipping for the team because “there is no excuse for assaulting children”? I’m guessing, as well, that if a child brings a gun to school and starts shooting people, we allow it because “there is no excuse for assaulting children.”

That's not what I meant and you f**king know it.

No, I don’t know it. Where is the line? What is acceptable? If my underage son comes home drunk, and had also been driving, am I not allowed to shake the f**k out of him and rip him a new asshole?

If he's 5'11 and 195 lbs, he's hardly a child, I don't care what his age is. You're talking about an extreme case. I'm talking about defenseless little preschool kids getting the shit beat out of them for no reason. Is that what you do?

Are you high? Nobody ever said that beating a defenseless child was ok. Beating anyone who is defenseless is what a monster would do.we are talking about disciplining a child when they f**k up. How many times do I need to tell you that whenever I got spanked, I deserved it. It was discipline. It may not be the kind of discipline you approve of, but you get to discipline your own kids your own way.
