@Brian. Depends on what the alternative would be, but sure - I can be a cartoon if you'd like, I'll hold up the straw a little longer if you want to take a few swings at it. Yet another service I provide.
@Neimen. It's certainly one of the ways a difference can be determined...I'm sure we can add to the list, if we bang our heads together. Is tap-boxing with my son is "abusing" him? Seems to me the difference between that and actually boxing his ears in might be the difference between abuse and play. But what do I know....lol. I'd call degree of bodily harm step number 1 on the "am I abusing my child" quicklist. Personally, I haven't had to go much further than step 1...but my little heathens have it pretty good. Others may need further metrics.
You know...I got switched, belted and backhanded as a child/young adult. Maybe some of yall did too. Wasn't good, wasn't fun.....happened plenty of times where stern words would suffice. Decided not to be that guy, so..while your fevered minds might imagine good ole yours truly getting a running headstart and windmilling his kid with a closed fist, palming a lead weight, when I say the word "spanking".....I probably don't.
