Hey, FD...
Hmm...you are right, you never did say it was your mom. I guess I just assumed because I thought I remembered reading some other post you made somewhere about your mom and sisters. Also, since I'm a mom, I guess when I think of people spanking or hitting their children I put it in my own frame of reference, so when people talk of punishing children I imagine what it would be like if I did that...so I'm used to visualizing a mom as the one doing the action.
I apologize. I jumped to conclusions.
Well, *now* I'm assuming it was an adult male in your life who disciplined you physically...and men using physical punishment scares me even more than moms because the stereotype of men is that they hit children harder and they hit much older children than moms do.
No, I'm married and my spouse and I both share in taking care of our child (often we are tag-teaming so that we have breaks), so we each deal individually with disciplining him if he is doing something dangerous on our watch.
