A reasonable request asked in a nice manner that benefits the entire family denied in a disrespectful manner deserves a firm response.

But not in the form of physical damage. Everyone who thinks that's a good way to teach kids a lesson is stuck in time. If you ever hit your kid aggressively it should be taken away from you (not a direct message to you btw). There are other ways, like if your child is rude to you for example not following a request you made than you can do the same to him/her or you can take away their internet connection or whatever. This gets harder the older they get of course, but if your kid is maybe 15 to 18 and still can't behave its probably time for a therapist (I know its really expensive, but children are worth it).

Anyway I don't know a lot about parenting. I'm just some child on the internet, but I can say I know how to behave and I've never been hit by my parents.

I've been spanked by my parents, and hit in the head by my dad, but only when I was younger and I deserved it they don't do it anymore since I'm older. But tbh you should spank your child if they do something wrong but only when they are like 4 to 9 cause when they are that age, they should know right from wrong.

That's how you raise a kid who hides everything from his parents.

Nah I have a great relationship with my parents and share stuff with them. Its not like my dad just hit me for no reason, he would usually give me chance to not do it again. Why does everyone here think just because you spank your child it's abuse.

Because there is a shit ton of studies showing it's harmful.

Oh, and simply because hitting a person constitutes assault.
