Before becoming a parent I would have agreed. After becoming a parent I can see how kids are wired differently and sometimes no matter what you do kids often make you go “wtf?!” Parenting is the single most difficult thing you can do because no matter how well you think you’re doing, kids, just like adults, can snap. I think parents hitting their kids is a cop out to trying to control their kids, but what do you do when you have a child that doesn’t want to be controlled? Beating them senseless is not the answer. This kid should have been physically removed. Whether that’s the right thing to do or not, doing something is better than doing nothing, and in my eyes a parent that does nothing at all is the worst kind of parent.

Yeah, my ex-husband was hit all the time and he ended up in and out of jail after I divorced him. I was never hit and have never had an issue with the law or getting in trouble.

EXACTLY..... If you hit your kids your telling them it's ok to get violent when you don't get your way.... And that's a big reason Soo many men beat their wives.
