I babysat for this family when I was teenager, on day one the mom was showing me around and directed me to the switch she had on top of the refrigerator. She said to use it if the kids got too bad.
I remember thinking- there’s no way I’m whipping someone’s kids ??
I was never hit with a belt, but I was spanked. I definitely would not call that abuse.
The line has been blurred and kids are turning into big brats, who turn into entitled jerk adults. We’re seeing the results right now in this world.
Sometimes saying “no sweetie don’t touch that” doesn’t work.
My parents used a belt on me. I won't use that, ever. I can clearly remember the whippings but cannot remember any of the 'reasons' causing them.
