No .... You didn't offend me - I did say I know some of us ARE raised like that - and to tell you the truth - maybe it worked back in the day cause kids were much better behaved - and these days seem to be out of control - but I just don't believe in it ....even more so with someone elses kids - these days you just can't do that kind of thing - Kids are exposed to so much more now - so we just have to remember we are the adults.....and as adults - we shouldn't have to hit anyone or anything unless it's in self defense. What happened to you was very wrong - but I would have gone right to the parents and demanded they take charge of the situation and teach that kid you just can't go around punching people.
and you know - they actually could have sued you ?? I wouldn't agree with that either but our times are very different than they were back in the days of spanking |
