“I grew up in a place where boys had the shit beat out of them by their father. It pains me to see those who try to laugh off and pretend that was somehow “good” and “normal” discipline.”
I’m appalled by these people. My father beat me all the time. My mother often put him up to it so he wouldn’t hit her. Eventually they beat me to death, not kidding, but the doctors brought me back. I was five. A provost martial had a talk with my old man and he never hit me again. His combat record kept him out of Leavenworth.
So we have freepers agreeing with brutality against a four year old, bragging about how tough they are to have survived beatings and how great their parents were to have given them.
I never laid a hand on my kids. They are all grown and superb, and they don’t hit my grandkids either.
This thread makes me sick.
