Been on the fence for some years about physical punishment started out with it no question cause that’s how I was brought up. But stopped about 3yrs ago from it after we felt it was making kids scared/timid. Last week one of my kids violated a serious house/online rule and i had to “get the strap” wish it didn’t play out that way. but when the bat single went up for this offense, wasn’t no way a joker wasn’t getting jacked up for that bullshit me and wifey in a “Cold War” still cause she thought it went to far and I almost agree but the shit was borderline criminal and some well established and understood rules were broken. Bet no one with my last name in this house try that shit again tho...
