I don't find anything wrong with disciplining your kids. As long as you do it right. I was told to never do it out of anger. When I see kids smack the sunglasses off their mom's face I always hope that there's a smack coming back their way. I get disappointed when there isn't any. I don't like abuse. But sometimes you got to knock some sense into these kids. My parents and grandparents would never let me do any of that. I would have gotten my ass beat in front of everyone which was worse. But it was my fault. I was being a little shit. Sometimes you got to go there. Just don't stay there. My grandpa spanked us but he hated that he had to do it. Hell he'd cry along with us. And he was a big dude. I remember taking him to grandparents day at school and my fellow classmates would ask me if my grandpa was a professional wrestler. He was a great man. He was good with cars and building homes. My cousins and I wish we could at least be half the man he was. RIP
