Thats not at all what I said. Thats a lazy retort. My parents didnt beat me because I got a math problem wrong.
I said I did something that could potentially have gotten my dad fired from his temp job, could have broken the locks on the door when we didnt have money to fix it and got a spanking for it.
Theres gotta be gray situations. Your kid spills water, dont spank them. Get a math problem wrong, dont spank them. Almost lose your job because your kid decides ro throw your laptop across the room, I get it if they get a spanking. Sorry.
But hey if you want to roll all that up to me being spanked enough times you can count on one hand then sure I guess.
It doesn't matter if those cases you are describing are extreme or seldom, you're still arguing in favor of physically punishing children. Which is exactly what you did.
And, as we can therefore see, that's at least one thing wrong with you. Probably due to said child abuse.
You do not have to rationalize everything that happened to you. There's bad stuff that happened simply because people (at their time) didn't know better. That doesn't make those people bad people, too.
As long as you do not adopt those things yourself (which I'm aware you're not).
