Spanking?

[Pat Mustard]

So while recovering from my booby reduction I was staying with my family. My puppy Lizzy (Elizabeth Anne) was with me of course, and Liz being only 8 months at the time and a teacup (notoriously hard to potty train) had an accident on the rug. (Stupid rug was ugly anyway) Well anyways my mom decided to smack Liz with a house slipper. I of course said heck no to that bullshit and sent her to stay with my friends until I recovered. This lead into an argument about how when I have  kids  my parents are under no circumstances allowed to hit them. My mother growing up swatted me a few times (Daddy hated it and always tried to talk her out of it) and I don’t feel it better our mother daughter relationship or taught me anything other than people who are bigger will hurt you if don’t obey. Anyways, your thoughts on spanking?

Having spent the last two and a half years with child welfare cases, you are absolutely right to ban slapping or any other kind of hitting.
