I don't know how selfishness enters the equation. He allowed his anger to be channelled into his choice of punishments, and it pissed me off because I saw it as needlessly excessive and borderline abusive. I brought it up later, and he excused his actions as appropriate. I disagree.

Can I see leaving my son in such a situation? Honestly, no. While I recognize that punishment is sometimes necessary, there are no instances in which abuse is appropriate.

And had he chosen to teach me a lesson by shooting me in the face? Are all punishments excused by them being a part of a lesson?
I'm afraid this is getting a bit off track. What I was hoping was to have other people discuss their stuff and their opinions.
