I don't know, never had to do it. I'm assuming that one time and then let my wife handle it. Never been angry at my kids. Upset? Plenty. My kids understand that they are kids, and we know better, so they listen, and are listened to. So, again no idea. Would need to find myself in that situation.
So, by your logic, a slap in the wrist and a beating are the same? Not that I have ever hit my kids, thank God. Now, your kid is hitting you, you say no, they keep hitting you, you say no in a commanding way, and they keep hitting you. The next "no" will absolutely come with that slap on the wrist.
Correct. And this applies to everyone, not just kids. If you feel you're about to lose it, just get out. And if that doesn't help, there's always therapy. That's another thing that blows my mind, most Christians reject therapy like the devil. We're human, our brain can malfunction 🤨. Mine does, lol.
I could not agree more. I'll go even further. Most Christians still live by dogma instead of living a loving, tolerant and forgiving life. This issue comes from the fact that they choose to follow humans instead of Jesus. If you have to say "I'm a Christian" to be heard, I instantly doubt. Prove it.
A slap on the wrist is one thing, a beat up is just wrong, abusive and plain evil.
Same here. We were hit on suspicion, my kids have heard me mad, but my wife and I have never touched them (well, maybe to tickle the heck out of them, lol), and I expect them to follow suit when they have their kids.
As a Christian, I have a hard time dealing with this. These abusers call themselves Christians, while Jesus Christ's teachings are the complete opposite. We're called to discipline with love, understanding and tolerance, not violence. No wonder people stay away from us.
God! I'm so old 🧓
Speak for yourself. This is exactly what I deserve. 👀
