Because not many people make jokes about thrashing kids.

 

crikey - I took my 2 to a daycare place for a one off visit. They were only there for a few hours over lunch time.. 1pm was nap time. My eldest refused to have a nap in the daytime.. eventually they let her sit in a corner and look at a book. Not long after that the owner was charged for hiting a child.. with a plastic cricket bat I think.

As if anyone enjoyed the cane dished out by a nun lol

 

But, they were good disciplinarians without it and were loved and respected - by me anyway

I was educated by nuns, I never got a thrashing, nor was I smacked at home.............. on the other hand, my brothers did.......did it harm them.....???? yes, it did.


Is it ok to ask how it harmed them?

 

If it is none of my business please say so.

3 of my brothers were beaten by relatives (my father was an absentee, so they saw it as their duty), they were beaten by the nuns and brothers, all 3 of them, for learning difficulties at school. One had only 1 full arm and hand, he found schoolwork hard, no excuses were allowed for him. One was left handed, he was beaten, had his arm tied behind his back to force him to use his right hand. 2 of them spent time in reform school and were beaten there for minor things.

All 3 were dysfunctional as teens, had dysfunctional working lives, families etc and went on to be totally dysfunctional in raising their own children. One has since passed away, he never had children, one is onto his second family and doing it much the same way, the other is still overindulging his grown children.

They did not discipline them at all due to their own childhood. You can imagine how that resulted?
