I am a mother of 4 and much as I hate being physical when I discipline my kids, it is, in fact, needed at times. There are just circumstances that kids won't remember / understand what you try to tell them with just words - especially when those lessons are the kind of stuff that will avoid them getting HURT.
It's also called protection.
Now unless you people who have been questioning the way OTHER people raises their own kids have your own offspring, just hush it and be happy for the one that's celebrating a new angel in this world.
CONGRATS, AND MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BE BLESSED WITH THIS NEW ANGEL IN YOUR LIVES :smiley:
