I agree that it aint always the be all end all, but i wont tell people or aspiring parents what they should and shouldn't do either. I'd just ask that every parent
understand their child first and foremost, and deal with them as an individual. Understand their personality and what does and doesn't work for them. Think about what'll get through to them before you run to POP them in the mouth or throat before they can barely formulate a sentence

i dont like that at ALL
If and when i have children, i pray that im able to raise intelligent kids that have a mind of their own, but still know better than to cross certain lines like this girl here. I'd make it so that my kids respect me, but not FEAR me. I dont like the sound of that or even the thought.
Im not saying i'd never put my hands on my children, btw. Im simply saying it wont be go to move as if i can't do anything else. I think it says a lot about a parent/person that has to strike another human being before exhausting one or two other options at least
