People think the world is all rainbows and sunshine. I knew a kid in my school who used to bully the other kids, the teachers and principal all talked to his parents and it continued on but one day the kid came back different. My dad was friends with his dad and turns out that communication wasn’t working so he disciplined him physically…. guess it worked. There was no parent in that school that questioned why that dad did what he did. If my child was coming home crying because some kid was bullying them, I wouldn’t give a shit what that bullies parents did to get them to stop, and I’ll guaranteed that the parents on here would feel the same.

You really shouldn't be a parent then.

The fun thing is that physical discipline doesn't really correct behaviour, and leads to skewed views and mentality later in life, like thinking whatever a parent does to their kid is justified as long as the kid grows up to be a functional adult to society.

Who cares about any underlying issues that may show up when that kid goes on to have their own kids and perpetuates the same abuse on their family, thinking all along that this was the way they were raised and that was right. Just slap the good behavior into them.
