Anonymous said: youre all a bunch of power trippers your kids will beat your face in, my father used to hit me, i out grew him real fast, faster than it took him to get over beating as punishment. One day when i was about 15 i wooped my fathers ass and i remember it felt good cause of all the years he would hit me so i gave him a good belting. Moral of the story, dont beat your kids if you know they will out grow you cause they wont forget it.
Oh hell no. Not beating for any little thing. I remember my dad would do that and I've never been close to him since then. But I used to break and burn a whole lot of things. Admittedly I was very bored. But I learned that I'd get in a lot of trouble if I did. The metaphorical stick of punishment stuck in my mind "Oh, I better not throw stones at those windows. Despite how fun it is to see glass break, it's not worth the spanking." followed by fun things to do, like learning how to make bows and arrows, cooking, hikes, bike rides (you know, actually getting involved with one's progenicy, something I'd have loved my parents to do) means one can keep out of trouble.
