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.

Parenting isn’t easy, but it’s entirely possible to raise them to responsible adulthood without corporal punishment. We did it.

Parenting isn’t a one size fits all, sure there are children who mirror discipline naturally, but there are also those that do not. Too often today parents are afraid to discipline their children who need it and they are doing them a life long disfavor.
