It completely amazes me that there are parents that are able to rear their children without threat of physical punishment. More power to them... I grew up when it was very common to get the living hell beat out of you for simply yawning at the dinner table. I remember getting beat as a 7 year old to the point that I literally urinated myself. Sometimes I wonder if these are the reasons why I have such resentment towards my mother. I'm not claiming I was an angel, far from it but I don't think those beatings helped to change my behavior

So sorry for your experiences.

A child does not need to be an angel in order to be safe. 

No excuses to hit a kid. (Many parents just no not know better. The society should tell tem.) We need to stop violence against children.
