WTF, you live in another sick fantasy world than I do.
Punishment, yes, but never your sick fantasy.
I guess you have never had the pleasure of a baby with colic. Up at 10pm to walk till 12:30am, up at 1:30am to walk till 4:30am, up at 5:00am to walk till 6:00am, wake wife to walk to 7:00am because you have to get ready for work, get to work at 7:00 am and look forward to another night just the same.
I said contemplate, not execute the deed.
If you never had that thought cross your mind then you must be a saint, I on the other hand am not.
Both of mine lived through it and are now doing very well for themselves; sometimes I am not so sure that I did, as a sane human being any way.
Some people say USMC boot camp is tough; it wasn’t crap compared to raising 2 babies with colic, working full time, and going to college at night till 8pm.
Did I contemplate shutting them up permanently; YOU BET I DID, did I do it, NOPE and happy about the eventual outcome. Just had to wait about 24 years.
