I'd be just peachy with that, since a couple of whacks on a well-padded butt are not multiple smacks and slaps to the head and face. I’ve never tried to inflict pain or used my children as an outlet for my own frustrations. Spanking is meant as an attention getter, to teach something. When it’s used to make a parent feel better, then the parent is unfit. What kind of person unloads their frustrations on a child? A pretty rotten one. There was no discipline involved here. You mete out discipline when a child does something wrong, not ten minutes later after making sure the coast is clear. There was nothing maternal about it, or about the perpetrator. It was simply a crime. It's called assault.
Instead of acknowledging that you don't know what you're talking about regarding rigor mortis, you switch the subject to what other posters said. It would be nice if you got off your high horse and simply admitted you were wrong in your choice of words, but that's about as likely to happen as you ever admitting to being wrong on anything.
