You start by telling someone else that I like to hit children. Then you use your own limited experience as the benchmark for everyone else. Then you fail to see that raising a single might be different than raising four close in age.

Do we see a problem yet?

I've been much closer to your situation than you have ever been to mine. I've had a single child, but you've never dealt with a group of your own children.

You sound like a tutor who cannot understand why a classroom teacher would ever have to raise her voice.

You raised all your children under the same philosophy- that is not a broad base of knowledge. I will not argue this with you any longer, because you will not hear my point any more than I see yours.

This is the part of the discussion I don't follow. Were you supposed to raise your four kids by different philosophies until you found the one that didn't work?
