After a whole day of dealing with me and my siblings, I'll bet she was thrilled to have some support from my dad. She had her hands full with the five of us.
And of course, I won't forget that YOU spanked your kids by your own admission, making you a hypocrite for condemning the rest of us when we do it.
I felt horrible about it every time (maybe about 10 X) that I did it. I don’t like it, and that doesn’t make me a hypocrite. I smoked cigarettes while in college, don’t now, don’t recommend it and that doesn’t make me a hypocrite either.
