I like how your experience with your one child makes you an expert on how the rest of us should relate to our own kids.

And your experience makes you what exactly?

Every study has shown that spanking doesn't work...yet this forum is now full of parents with their experience with a limited sample (either themselves or a parent of a child or a few children) telling everyone that hitting works just fine...so we can either believe every study done to date or we can throw it away and keep hitting while we make excusese...let me know which you want.

In the mean time, explain how if I hit you in the same way you hit your child you wouldn't be calling the police
