Well, mine doesn't, so I figure I must've done something right.
You're way too either-or about this. Either we beat the crap out of the kid or we don't have ANY discipline. There is a middle ground. Unfortunately for many abused children, many people never find it, and beat their kids instead. And no, guys, I'm not talking spankings here. There's a big difference between spanking (I still don't like it) and throwing the kid into a fridge hard enough to dent it. That's child abuse, plain and simple, and if you think you have to abuse a kid in order to get the kid to behave right, then you desperately need therapy.
